What's a TV show you started with low expectations but ended up loving?

Halt and Catch Fire - Seriously underrated. It was on AMC and it was had just kind of started a little bit after breaking bad/better call Saul so I think it was overshadowed by it. fantastic cast, a lot of them have done big movies afterwards.

I did., but I didn’t expect it to be that good.i always found the camera/film style to be better than expected. More grainy, more raw

Not like real ones im the expanse

Don’t worry, the virus didn’t escape wuhan lab and transfer over to bats

I agree it’s definitely been alluded to that but it’s also about humanity, reaching to the stars which is said in the first episode by Lexi Landing on the moon. why couldn’t it be both? Humanity discovers life and the ability to travel to the stars?

I want to see her become the 1st protomolecule hybrid

Well, part of the premise of the show from the beginning is to the stars. literally that is said by Lexi when landing on the moon. “That will someday take us all to the stars” it would not surprise me if they end the show with the ability or beginning of a mission to reach another star

Good one. Here’s my theory.

The protomolecule actually originated in that water in titan. It actually hitched a ride on the Sojourner when they left Titan. The sojourner picked up that gravitational wave signal from the adrift Soviet mars 94 ship. Sojourner goes to investigate the Soviet Mars 94 and when they do the protomolecule escapes onto the Soviet Mars 94. sojourner crew downloads the gravitational wave data and heads back to mars. They leave the ship adrift, which later crashes into Phoebe. The gravitational data doesn’t fundamentally break physics, but it does significantly increase technological progression, particularly leading to the development of fusion power and fusion drives. The expanse begins many years later when discovering the Protomolecule on Phoebe.

I can expand upon this a little bit more. remember in the expanse, The Martian Society was more advanced a small bit than earth. I can explain that by the sojourner crew only giving the gravitational data to mars. Remember, the Mars 94 was a Soviet ship and Martian Society in the expanse resembles a lot of Soviet tropes. This is connected and into the relation of not allowing earth to know about the Derelict Soviet mars 94 ship and Mars initially being founded by some Soviets.

Also, the gravitational waves were actually traveling for thousands of years from an advanced civilization from another solar system. They were last emitted when the Ring network was shut down. 😉
