One of the best modern science fiction shows, The Expanse, flew somewhat under the radar during its six-season run. But many sci-fi fans who watched The Expanse absolutely loved it. If you haven’t watched it yet or simply want to experience its brilliant story unfold once again, The Expanse: The Complete Series on Blu-ray is on sale for $61.53 (was $80) at Amazon.
You’ll also find a few special features, though this varies from season to season (with later seasons not offering many additional perks). Still, 15 discs and six seasons for $55.49 is a great value and easy recommendation for anyone seeking a new TV show to kick off 2024.
Set hundreds of years into the future, it follows a conspiracy that could propel the entire solar system into war. It’s just as nuanced as hits like Game of Thrones and Star Trek.
Weaving fraught politics, frantic action, and memorable characters together, The Expanse earned a dedicated community of fans during its run. The final season wrapped up in January 2022 on Prime Video–Amazon acquired the series and created three additional seasons following its cancellation by Syfy after the first three seasons. During its run, The Expanse won a variety of awards, including a Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation and Saturn Award nominations for best sci-fi TV series.
Unsure if the show is for you? Here’s a look at the trailer for its first season, which debuted eight years ago.
