you wont read the star wars books so why should i read the expanse ones?
if they can't tell the story on air than i dont need to know it...right?
There is a big difference here.
The Expanse books are what the series is based on, and the series is hewing very closely to them. You don’t NEED the books to explain anything but they can answer questions regarding the future so to speak.
The Star Wars books unfortunately do something different - they explain elements the films should have explained but did not. For example, without the books you have no explanation at all for the First Order, Knight of Ren or a slew of things in TFA.

EDIT: Joelist beat me to it. But....
The difference is that the Expanse books ARE telling the story in the show and not leaving anything out. In fact, the series tells the story in slightly more detail than the books. Star Wars just throws things into the movies and does not address them. Then either the SW fanbase explains things on their own, writing fan fiction around the mysteries and giving their own explanations. That might be the only fanbase which has to do that, but NuTrek is moving in that direction. There are already NuTrek fans trying to explain away the NuKlingons change in appearance.
This show is telling the same story on the screen as it does in the books.

I love this show like no other.
One thing I have wondered about...why is it that Alex tries to put out this sort of cowboy/western thing with his character? It is very very subtle, like the actor is trying his best to affect a trucker type of personality along with a bit of rural slang, but can't quite pull it off. Alex is a great character without that, so it is no big deal but it is interesting.
He is a Martian . Everyone knows they all talk like truckers and Bobby is the most beautiful tank on Mars ! And she talks Aussie
Actually no idea how a martian would talk lol ...
He listens to country western, he uses slangy terms with a slight drawl, and you can see he is trying to put out this trucker/western vibe. It isn't like the weird accents on the Eros space station. I believe the actor is Canadian-Iranian. The book does not mention his speech.
I have rewatched all three of the Season 3 episodes, and the last episode of Season 2. This show sets a whole new paradigm for science fiction on many levels. Besides that, it has absolutely gorgeous visuals and CGI, and it is just enough to tell the story and show us the tech, without needing to always make things explode or chase each other in dogfights. The way they fly the ships, the limitations of the tech at that time, it is just amazingly realistic. Add to that the superb writing, which is being wisely restrained to the story as told in the books, and it's just the whole package.
This last episode is leading up to some huge stuff, if it plays out like it does in the books and I think it will. Can't wait till next episode!

I am not pleased that Amazon is not making Season 3 free, but for this show it might be worth it.

In the books, the people who settled Mars were from Texas and southeast Asia. Musical genres and styles unique to Texas remained popular on Mars. We should expect to hear him sing some Tejano songs soon.

Finally caught up with this one. Seen the 4 available eps of season 3. This show is great. I'm glad there'll be another episode soon. Sometimes it pays off to be patient and just not watch shows for a while and then binge whatever there is.

Why good story telling never sells. The expanse cancelled.
Syfy has canceled The Expanse, but its producers want to find it a new home

Why do people think that netflix can save this series? They know their demise is coming once disney launches its own platform so they won't be a in a hurry to greenlit another season of the expanse.
