I wish I could get into the Expanse, I tried watching the first 4 episodes and just couldn't get into it ... tooo many people to keep track of I think.
You made it farther in than I did! The very first episode had my head spinning. Am I supposed to "get into" any of those many characters? I guess the producers thought, "the more the merrier".
I felt the same about Game of Thrones which I did not read.
The Expanse is well worth the effort. I remember feeling the same when I watched season 1 as the episodes originally aired on SyFy. I recommend sticking with it for the first season, then reading the first book in the series, Leviathan Wakes. That really helped clear things up for me. That's probably more effort than you, or most people, want to put into a TV show, but it does pay off, at least it did for me. The remaining seasons and books in the series have been superb.I wish I could get into the Expanse, I tried watching the first 4 episodes and just couldn't get into it ... tooo many people to keep track of I think.
Glad I missed that one ...Or Lord of the Rings! Gag. Nothing but different armies coming out of nowhere to hack each other to death using medieval war techniques.
Question is, can you get all this sorted out with out reading the books ?The Expanse is well worth the effort.

Certainly many do. I mean, I did initially by the time I got to the end of the first season. It just became more clear, sunk in, after I read the books.
