The Season 5 Finale of The Expanse is Explained in New Featurette
-
Amazon's latest installment of The Takeaway is a deep dive into Wednesday's Season 5 finale of one of the best-regarded sci-fi shows on television, The Expanse.
This examination explores the events of Season 5, explains their relevance to our modern day issues — such as the theme that "human beings will constantly squabble over smaller internal divisions instead of recognizing when they have a bigger common enemy they need to be fighting together" — and even compares them to the source material novels to bring a depth of flavor to climactic scenes.
The Expanse is now streaming on Amazon.
