The premise: 200 years into the future, in a fully-colonized solar system, a police detective in search of a missing young woman uncovers a vast conspiracy that threatens the entire human race.

The Expanse is basically Syfy’s poster child for good TV. The first novel in the series it’s based on was nominated for both a Hugo Award and a Locus Award. The writers of the book series are also writers on the show. And in spite of its budget and “restrictive distribution arrangements” leading to its cancellation after only two seasons, there’s a high probability the show is going to be picked up by another — probably larger — network.
