This series is called the most realistic science fiction: after 10 years everyone finally found out

The story, which was almost buried after the closure, was not unexpectedly from but not somewhere, but in the list of the most popular series on the digital cash register. According to Flixpatrol, the “Space” series achieved first place in iTunes on June 29, where he bypassed heavyweights such as “Star Cruiser Galaxy” and “Rick and Morty”. He wasn’t that successful, not even during the release of new seasons.

The series based on the books of James Sa Kori (in fact this is the pseudonym of the two authors) first published in 2015 on the Syfy channel. He was conceived as a serious, almost documentary Science Fiction about the future, where humanity has settled in the solar system and shares the resources between the earth, Mars and the so -ramped “garners” – the working class from the edge of the cosmos. Politics, class inequality, interplanetary conflicts and then also extraterrestrial technology that can change nature laws – in the “space” this is not a reason for spectacular action, but part of the gloomy and, more importantly, the logical image of the world.

After three seasons, the Syfy channel closed the project, but Amazon bought it and the series received a second life. As a result, the “space” has six seasons and the completed plot, which is rare in our time. In addition to the film adjustment, the franchise has dozens of stories, comics and even an interactive game from Telltale. And more recently it was announced that another will come out – The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a full RPG in the series of the series. The developers promise a new story independent of the main plot, but they take place against the background of the consequences of events from the “space”.
