The Best: The Expanse

In its sixth and final season, the only complaint we can lodge about The Expanse is that the season (which is currently airing) isn’t long enough. Still, Amazon’s beloved sci-fi series is packing gobs of action—including maybe the series’ best-ever space battles—and drama into just six episodes, even making room for a bit of humor among a cast whose chemistry couldn’t be more crackling. While we hate to say good-bye to the Rocinante and its heroes, at least we’ll always have six seasons of near-perfect television that set a new genre standard for plotting, pacing, casting, and respect for real-world science.
