United States	Vanessa Armstrong SlashFilm	"[6th Season Review]: I don't think I'll be alone when I say that I'll be very sad if this is the last time we see the world of 'The Expanse' on screen."	POS
United States	Zack Handlen AV Club	"[6th Season Review]: Season six offers up the same exhilarating mixture of brutal physics, impossible situations, and wry humor"	POS
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"[6th Season Review]: 'The Expanse' manages to end its run with a satisfying conclusion that wraps up just enough without telegraphing any cliche happy endings."	POS
United States	Gavia Baker-Whitelaw The Daily Dot	"[6th Season Review]: It’s a thrilling and satisfying conclusion to the show – but thanks to the shortened six-episode season, the pacing is a little off (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS

United States	Zosha Millman Polygon	"[6th Season Review]: The season feels incomplete, an insufficient and far too economical kiss off for such an intricately constructed show. It's sad to see a world built with the breadth of the universe have no room to breathe"	NEG
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[6th Season Review]: This season is marked by the confidence of a show that's got six seasons under its belt and still doesn't particularly feel like stopping, no matter what any official announcement might say"	POS
United States	Zack Handlen AV Club	"[5th Season Review]: None of these storylines are duds, and the ways in which they all interact with one another to varying degrees remains one of the show’s greatest accomplishments"	POS
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"[5th Season Review]: The emotional stakes are high in 'The Expanse' season 5, and although the action takes a few episodes to really kick in, once things shift into high gear, it’s full speed ahead (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Vanessa Armstrong SlashFilm	"[5th Season Review]: Season 5 of 'The Expanse' is great TV, and it’s great because it makes you think as much as it makes you feel. And it will make you feel a lot"	POS
United States	David Griffin IGN	"[5th Season Review]: Wes Chatham gives a memorable performance (...) [It] gets off to a roaring start, with an impactful premiere that raises the stakes for its characters."	POS
United States	Steve Greene IndieWire	"[5th Season Review]: 'The Expanse' is second to none when it comes to portraying the day-to-day reality of a universe where interplanetary travel is a given"	POS
United States	Alexis Gunderson Paste Magazine	"[5th Season Review]: A deeply satisfying, multisensory experience, and for all that the interpersonal stories are smaller this season, it is still as beautiful to look at as ever"	POS
United States	Sadie Gennis TV Guide	"[4th Season Review]: For the first time since 'The Expanse's' debut in 2015, it feels as though the series might finally get the well-earned recognition it deserves (…) Rating: ★★★★½ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"[4th Season Review]: [It] proves itself worthy of Amazon’s rescue in a nearly perfect season."	POS

United States	Joshua Rivera The Verge	"[4th Season Review]: [It] is one of the most dense and rewarding science fiction shows in recent memory"	POS
United States	Gavia Baker-Whitelaw The Daily Dot	"[4th Season Review]: With slick visual effects and a satisfyingly complicated plot, the show continues to deliver high-quality science fiction (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: 'The Expanse' isn’t perfect television, but entering Season 3 it is confident in the story it’s telling and, more importantly, the kind of stories it wants to tell."	POS
United States	Zack Handlen AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: It can be grim and unsettling, but it presents a universe in which it is still possible to be a hero."	POS
United States	Brian Tallerico Rolling Stone	"[2nd Season Review]: The writers have reached a point where you can tell they feel completely confident in the world they've created and can do whatever they choose within it."	POS
United States	Zack Handlen AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: The second season has represented a leap forward in quality for the series."	POS
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: There's an awful lot going on in the return of this epic space adventure, but it's worth the effort to keep up."	POS
United States	Village Voice	"[2nd Season Review]: Easy to laugh at — and easy to love (...) It’s TV’s proud answer to the B movies of yore."	POS
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"It tries to do too much at once in its opening episodes, which ultimately undercuts their overall effectiveness."	NEU
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"At least for four episodes, the writers are struggling to maintain momentum across at least three sci-fi-trope-heavy storylines that eventually could coalesce into something unique."	NEU
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"Well-constructed, artfully furnished."	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"Nothing in the central performances, the writing, the action or the computer effects goes beyond proficient, and nothing has the stark, strange, sometimes brutal feeling that made 'Battlestar Galactica' compelling."	NEU
United States	Matt Roush TV Guide	"Hard to say where it's all going, but anyone with an interest in serious sci-fi should strap in for the long ride."	POS
