You should consider checking out the books. I watched the first two seasons when they came out and I couldn't wait so I bought the books, and I am so glad I did because the series ended up getting canceled before the final trilogy could be adapted.
There is definitely some residual libness in the political intrigue but I quite liked it and the whole commentary on the belters being analogous to exploitation of the global south was solid for pulp sci fi if still very surface level.
It also has so many great characters. Amos and Miller are some of my favorite fictional characters ever written.
That said even though it got cancelled and we missed out on a few really amazing setpieces from the final books, it had a satisfying enough conclusion for season 6.
the books are excellent! I liked the show but really liked the books.
Absolutely my favorite sci fi series (tied with Three Body Problem actually) of all time and I'm a 40 year old nerd, I was reading Asimov when I was like 13.
Mi pensa you an mi would get along good, kopeng!
Mi pensa of the accord
Have you checked out the Red Rising series? Closer to space opera than hard sci-fi, but is pretty good and has a fair amount of leftist themes.
