Didn't Amazon make like 50% of the expanse seasons?
Yes. Syfy cancelled the show after season 3 and Amazon did seasons 4-6.
Such a god damn shame were probably never getting the best books adapted to TV :(
Yes, and I'm glad they did, didn't mean to imply otherwise. But they resumed an existing production Syfy fronted the costs for. I think that whichever way you slice it, Amazon squandered the IP to an extent. In retrospect of such excessive spending on their more recent productions... They just didn't spend enough on it. The final season benefits greatly from a higher budget, but that doesn't magically save it from feeling rushed when it's half the normal length. It's a handwave apology for re- prematurely canceling the show
