Thankfully,Apple TV+ already has that base covered.
Those who enjoyedThe Expanseare also highly likely to like Apple TV+‘sFor All Mankind.
That being said, the shows aren’t identical, but the differences are far from bad.
Instead, it’s just more to enjoy for the shows’ shared fan bases.
The biggest similarity only really crystallizes at theend ofFor All Mankindseason 4.
However,For All Mankindhas also started to tease the existence of its version ofThe Expanse’s Belters.
For starters,The Expanse’s timeline is paced pretty consistently throughout.
Inversely,For All Mankindfeatures a time jump of roughly ten years at the end of every season.
The Expanse tends to avoid certain sci-fi tropes.
The Expanse is a sci-fi series set in the distant future where humanity has spread out across the solar system, but the alliances between the three most potent governing bodies have reached a state of the cold war. In the series, a mixed crew finds themselves at the center of a dangerous intergalactic conspiracy that threatens to bring war to the colonized worlds.
However, there’s one in particular that has a huge impact on the show’s narrative at large.
The source material on which the adaptation is based is also incredibly popular.
So, it was possible to work out where the story was heading by consulting the books.
Because of this, there was a great deal of forum-dodging and scrolling past potential spoilers between episodes.
Of course, this doesn’t mean it’s impossible to find spoilers online.
Plus, they don’t spoil storylines from far in the plot’s future if watching upon release.
This doesn’t necessarily makeFor All Mankindbetter thanThe Expanse, but it is a notable upside.
