I loved, LOVED, season 1 (haven't started season 2 yet). What do you guys think?

Season 1 was fantastic but was all character building and setting the stage for season 2, so far season 2 has been edge of the seat stuff in every episode. I'm loving it, it's got me learning words like rastaclart and bumboclot even though neither are in the show because Belters are descended from South Africa and not Jamaica.

I loved Season 1. Season 2 sails right over Season 1.
This is one of the best sci fi shows since Firefly. I think I like it as much as I like Westworld, or more.

Definitely. One of the best sci-fi series I have ever watched from 1975 and onwards. Great plot, lot of tension and not exaggerations on what a future society might look like, which is the thing that I hate the most.

Firefly is so overrated; BSG, Stargate SG1 and Atlantis are much superior.

No, that's called using your brain and not being a sheep.

Yeah basically it is an online cable channel, though since it is new it doesn't have all the content you expect. I don't get ABC, NBC, CBS. I get NBC on demand though, and Fox on demand. I get a lot of other channels, like sports channels, AMC, History, USA, Syfy, and so on. Most of the other stuff you get on the basic cable channels. The basic package is about 25 bucks a month though so it is the most reasonable way to go for what it is. It is new as I said and is continually expanding content so I hope the other channels are added soon.

Yeah, I loved the first season also. I am watching the second season now and it is also good. I won't give anything away. I wish I could go back and watch the first season over again now.

Season 2!!!!???????? In my country, we only have season 1 and I've been anxiously waiting to find out what happened to everybody for months now.... It really is very good Sci Fi and there isn't anything as good as this out there right now. Would it be possible to let me know, what happens to the two protagonists who.... well, I don't want to write any spoilers here but warning, SPOILERS...
Will the two male protagonists be in the second season?? Like, till the end?
Thank you!

Well...
When you say “in years”, just how far back are you going?
Because on a "best" list I’d rank the following shows ahead of this one:
Still; it's a great show...never heard of it until someone on another Board recommended it. Glad I decided to check it out...had me at the first episode.
