Steven Strait held the same strained facial expression for all 6 seasons and was overall just super flat, same with Chatham. Aghdashloo is a good actress overall but the writers absolutely were not writing her lines with her in mind, especially in the last two seasons. Tipper was only good during the story arc where they stole the Mormon ship and after IMO
I forgot she left Medina station in the show. Well, the show ended at the point where they can just put her back in charge of Medina in exchange for her faction standing down.
They're pretty well-written and well-paced with interesting characters and worldbuilding, but they're not breaking any new ground or making you think tough questions. The first book is sort of a noir detective thriller, the rest are more like political/military thrillers, except #4 which is kind of a western. There's also a few short stories, and I've heard the audio book narrator is good.
The Expanse could afford to do all the fancy sets and costumes and lighting because they hired the cheapest and worst actors in Hollywood

I love the show, I’ve watched it three times. Doesn’t mean any of the acting was good.

Are the books worth reading? Seems daunting to get into at first

I too enjoyed the Camina Drummer show

It could be a spin off called "Spin Gravity" and be about the political struggles of attempting to run Medina Station during the timeskip.

And the worst sound design team
Honestly having good actors in a sci-fi show has always been a red flag for me, second only to having fancy CGI.
