I agree ... first seasons were on Netflix. Then Amazon took over.
I ended up having both accounts 😉

I just about cried when SyFy dropped the Expanse (they like to drop every good sci-fi series for no apparent reason). Then Bezos came to the rescue :) Lots of sacrificing science for expediency and drama but really good at depicting what a future civilization in the asteroid belt might look like. And not too bad an adaptation of the James Corey novels.

I'll look for, is mostly set ar, no surprise I haven't seen it. That author is unknown.

Of course the current SF hit, the Expanse is mostly set around an asteroid belt civilization.

“When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.” is mostly set around a Edmund Burke
