You nerds need to watch this :D

Basically - in the future Mars is colonised, Earth is Earth and in the asteroid belt there's the 'belters' who are pretty much miners. They've all kind of formed their own governments and have issues with each other for varying reasons. The belters are like the pesky unionists demanding better pay (or water and air) whilst Mars and Earth are locked in a kind of cold war situation.



I'm on ep5 and I can't believe SyFy made something worthwhile and the best thing is it hasn't been cancelled yet :D

If I can watch it online, I'll watch it, but I cut the cord years ago.

I've read the books, they are fairly decent and "accessible" series... (although one is awful - book 4 I think, felt rushed and had the plot shoe-horned into the location)

should be good for a tv series.

Thank you losCHUNK for the topic. I do like my sci fi as you'd know :D
I'll have to find a torrent :cough: :cough: as I don't have sat/cable TV but checking......

You guessed maybe. I get this error on trying to get via my ISP :smirk:
This product is no longer available for purchase online.
Customers with an existing TV with Fetch service can manage their account via Toolbox and the TV menu through their set top box.

Set top box? Checks calendar. I was right, it is 2016

Checking further I can get an app (?) but who in their right mind watches TV on a tablet?

Oh goody, torrents located :D

I've been watching it. I feel the pacing of the show is a little off, kind of slow to start with. I'm not sure how likable the main characters are, they seem a bit dry. It shows potential so I'm hoping it picks up a little.
