“Firefly” was one of those shows that got me hooked within about 5 minutes of watching the pilot episode.
“Game of Thrones” got me hooked within 1 minute.
“Expanse” might be one of those shows that require about 6 episodes to get me hooked - like “The Wire” or “Sopranos”. I actually thought those shows sucked after watching the pilots. But I was totally hooked after about 6 episodes.
So hopefully “Expanse” will get me hooked after 6 episodes or less.
I think “Firefly” was just wrong place and time. Maybe now after all these SW movies and Star Trek shows, “Firefly” might have had huge success. Wrong place at the wrong time.
