The Expanse: Nemesis Games (2021)
Season 5, Episode 10
6/10
Meh..... Season 5 = Not even close to Season 3
3 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was a slight improvement upon the last 5 episodes, but that's not saying much because the last 5 completely dragged.

This episode was more of Naomi whimpering, Naomi crying, Naomi physically struggling, close up facials. More of Marco and son, who I just don't feel are acting well enough to give much depth to the characters.

Don't get me wrong, the show is centered around characters, but now it's just too much sappy drama.... where did all the elements of season 3 go?! Where are the cunning political games. The strategic story lines of Holden and crew. The stories of people like Anderson Dawes. The sci fi mystery (we get one brief glimpse at the very end). Where is the magic from season 3?!

They've turned it from sci fi adventure thriller to sci fi drama. Oh and Alex's death was weak af. I realize he had to go but they didn't even bother to make it emotionally impactful or epic at all. Such a great character deserved better treatment for the demise, regardless of the actor portraying him.

Bring back season 3 vibe please!
