Full Length Reaction Guide
We take copyright law very seriously, so you will have to sync up our reaction to your own version of the show/movie. To help, we have a range of guiding tools throughout the reaction to help you sync up with us, including a small snippet of the scene to ensure you are in sync. Any instances in which you see the screen cut, this means we’ve had technical difficulties or have skipped a potential disruptions/bloopers. This means you will need to sync up your copy of the show again, if we are unable to edit these cuts seamlessly into the next scene. An updated timecode will be provided on the screen. Anytime we pause, there will be timer/countdown on screen to prompt you. So if we’re about to pause, there’ll be a countdown, and you are expected to pause as the number reaches 0. The same will happen when we press play after pausing. You will press play as the number reaches 0. Here are some popular ways people sync up the reaction with their own copy of the show:
Use a dual monitor PC setup to watch both screens simultaneously
Use the split screen functions on your computer/phone to watch them side by side
Chromecast / Screenshare one screen to your TV while watching the other screen on a phone or laptop
HDMI your laptop / tablet to the TV and use the TV as a 2nd monitor (not mirror display)
Use your Smart TV or Gaming console to play the YouTube reaction and your Phone/Laptop to play the show (or other way around)
Use Google chromes picture in picture mode to overlay your own copy of the show over our reaction in a smaller window size (Link to the extension here: ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/picture-in-picture-extens/hkgfoiooedgoejojocmhlaklaeopbecg?hl=en )

In my top 3 shows of ALL TIME! So glad you are intrigued right away. This show is intelligent and complex... like DARK... with politics and drama and incredible characters... like Game of Thrones... and it is the most scientifically accurate sci-fi ever made... based on real physics and set in the near future. Humans haven't magically created artificial gravity or faster-than-light travel or unlimited resources, and those realities are a big part of the story. You will LOVE this show.

It's great that you're enjoying it right from the start, that bodes well since it only gets better. The Mass Effect vibe was a great call. In that case, Ceres is similar to Aria's Omega station, very blue-collar with a high criminal element. Just fyi the guy that's tortured on earth is part of the OPA group, you'll hear their name, but they said he's in a radical faction.
It's amazing how well they use their budget and have such top notch visual effects. The space shit is awesome. The cinematography is also fantastic and is very playful with long one-shot takes and many perfect rack-focus shots. It's very explorative and reminds me of game design legend Hideo Kojima's style of filmmaking.

where do you watch ? i had to go to amazon prime US because in my country season 1-3 are removed for some reason, and i saw that i had a few 1 second blacks that you guys had not.

i love the fact that this is so super realistic they have physics in the crew to make sure everything is correct. you have gravity from burn, high G from breaking you need to burn in the opposite direction to slow down etc its all so well done.
even the bird flapping his wings so little in the low G xD

Glad you’re watching this, but I’m going to argue that this isn’t Space GOT. The politics stuff is more background etc, it’s more action, adventure mystery scifi.

This was my first time watching along with an uncut reaction to a show. Fun! I knew you'd both be drawn in by the interesting characters, the setting and the mix of everyday life and action.

This is technically a first time watch for me. I watched the pilot episode a while back and just never continued. Not because I wasn't interested, just too much going on at the time personally. So I'm trying this out with you guys! Definitely intrigued and looking forward to the journey

They're absolutely phenomenal for a TV show. Even in general.
Paul
2025-06-05 10:48:55 +0000 UTC
It's BEGUN!! Amazing. Love the new setup you guys have too btw.
A few quick notes
Yes, Space Sex would be epic, Spartan is right.
The mass effect vibe is there for sure.
When you see those boots with a red light activate, those are magnetized boots, they use it when they're otherwise in zero G, so they can walk around not float.
That white drug pumped in during a high G burn helps strengthen their bodies at those absurd Gs, if you ever went on that spinning ride at an amusement park, you know that sensation when it starts to go very fast? Like an elephant is sitting on your chest?
It's similar to that but vastly worse. In the show they often hit 10 Gs or more. Which means if you weigh 80kg on earth, you'd feel like you weighed 800 kg during the burn.
And yeah, you can imagine being stuck on a ship for months at a time, out in the deep black oblivion of space, it would send a lot of people mad. What if you wanted to go home one day? Well, too bad. You can leave if you want, go float in space until you run out of oxygen, but other than that, you're trapped.
Soldiers on submarines experience this effect too here on earth all the time.
But you've already picked up a lot of details, great reaction.

not at the moment. we are still reviewing that option, taking everything into consideration for the safety of the channel

nb. You mentioned the fandom and yes, in my experience The Expanse fandom is one of the nicer ones out there - no toxic gatekeeping or infighting, they just genuinely want to welcome new fans and discuss the show, both books and tv series. And unusually no wars between book fans and tv adaption fans.
Probably because the book writers were heavily involved in the show as well. Its a really good adaption.

I was wondering what kind of TV you guys may have and then at the end you say it. I bought on OLED a few years ago JUST for this show lmao. They are incredible. Space looks great on this show already, but OLED just makes it top tier. I am also really liking these uncut reaction. Super stoked I get to watch the entire series again this way!

Fun fact, the budget for the show didn't change when Amazon leased the distribution rights to the IP. So all that CGI was the same level of work as the first three seasons. What Amazon did let them do though, is use their render farm, so they could render in higher detail faster.

You are gonna need a VPN. Make sure the VPN works around Amazon’s blocks as not all VPNs can bypass it.

Awesome reaction, I signed up just for this.
Good start, you saw a lot and made some good connections. Pretty much every scene in The Expanse means something and is referenced later, stuff is said in S1E1 that plays out in S5. Like the theories you're coming up with.
Even things that flash by on screens and peoples phones has meaning and plot importance.
If it seems confusing and unconnected at first - you're in good company, Expanse writers are very much in show, not tell and we only know what the characters know, which at the start is bugger all :)
Re "The Juice", the stuff the Cant crew got injected with when they we're doing the "Flip and Burn" - high gravity maneuvers put a lot of stress on the human body the juice is a cocktail of drugs to support their cardio vascular system, prevent blood clots and strokes, etc.
So, whens the next one? 😁
nb. 100% agree with Spartan re watching on a OLED, makes all the difference with darker hidef shows like The Expanse. Good timing.
Also the sound track for The Expanse is just beautiful.

I don't know how 3 seasons didn't grab ya, but if you're a reader I HIGHLY recommend the books. They're truly top-tier science fiction, and the authors were directly involved in the show's production!

If you guys think the space scenes look great now, just wait until that Amazon money hits in later seasons.
Also, Ceres (pronounced like series) is technically considered a dwarf planet, and it orbits between Mars and Jupiter. In the show it's been made into a station that is controlled by Earth but is the home to Belters. That's just a basic explanation for now, since the show will give you more information.
I'm glad you guys are watching with subtitles on. It will make it much easier to follow some of the Belter scenes when they throw in the occasional slang word. Even if you don't know exactly what it means, seeing how the word is spelled and the context it's used in is usually enough to give you a good idea.

2025-06-05 00:05:21 +0000 UTC
Ceres is a dwarf planet in our Solar system in the astroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It's also one of the reasons Pluto is not a planet anymore and also a dwarf planet 😆 in the expanse it's the home of the belters like you saw.
Slow Shadow
2025-06-05 00:01:15 +0000 UTC
Oh yeah! Here we go! Ceres is the same place the cop Miller is btw, that was the Canterbury's destination. It's a real asteroid (dwarf planet technically) in the belt of our solar system they built a station on.

I’ll be watching this for the first time with you both. Like you, I’ve heard about it for years, but never sat down and watched it. I wasn’t as hyped as Spartan after the first episode lol, but I’m definitely curious to see what happens next. Count me in for the ride.

We are finally here!! Fantastic reaction to the first episode. A reminder why this is my favorite reaction channel. It will take a few episodes to get your bearings and get used to all the characters but then the show really settles into itself. Buckle up, should be a great time. I cant wait for the next one!
Also, XO stands for executive officer. An XO is the second-in-command and is typically responsible for the management of day-to-day operations on a ship. Dont worry about understanding the Belter dialogue. It will come in time.

I can attest to that LOL I think I flew through season 1 in one maybe two days when I first found it. Hooked ever since the intro title sequence!

There are lots of websites that break down the Belter Creole, sasa ke? A good starter is just a chart with common phrases. Belter is mostly based in English but has influences from the major languages of people who originally went to the belt. Check out “Belter Creole” on expanse.fandom.com
R.I.P. Mike! We hardly knew you!

2025-06-04 23:37:59 +0000 UTC
Here's a few clarifications for you guys to help you get your bearings. Miller (the cop) is on Ceres Station, a space station built into a large asteroid in "the belt" which refers to the asteroid belt, a large source of materials for the inner planets (Earth and Mars), which is mostly home to belters. The Canterbury is an ice hauler. Holden (the XO) and his crew work in the belt hauling ice that they have broken off of comets or asteroids back to Ceres Station, which they were on their way back to when they got the distress call from Julie's ship.

I remember the first time I watched this episode. I couldn't get into it after a few minutes. I tried again a few months later. It hooked me and within a couple of episodes, I literally could not stop watching. You're going to absolutely love these characters.

I am telling you ... By the end of episode 4 ... You will be addicted. And I am not talking 'oh this is cool' ... I am talking contemplating wearing those goggles with little screens in them so that you can watch it while you sleep.

Im a bit intrigued to see how you guys like this and I'm gonna see how i enjoy these reactions. But I watched the first three seasons and found the show just "fine" but also largely just meh. Just has too much against it for me to really enjoy it. It doesn't hurt that the over hyping of it is INSANE and likening it to actually great shows or even to mass effect (this one bothers me the most because absolutely not) does the show zero favors imo. The threat of the walking dead being on the channel lessens my negative feelings about the expanse winning so I guess that is a plus. Although with severance going on right now I'm beyond happy regardless!

One thing I love about the Expanse is the opening credits. Not only does it show a story of mankind's history as they expand into space, but it also changes from time to time as the show progresses. To the point where in season 5 every single episode has some changes in the opening.
Unfortunately the opening doesn't play for much of season 1. But once it plays every episode, I always try to see if I can spot any changes.
