Did they even watch it lmao. Camina Drummer, one of the biggest badasses on the show, is a woman who is explicitly pan and in a polyamorous relationship. Not to mention Holden casually mentions has eight mothers and fathers, and the DNA from all of them. And one of the major characters from season 3 is a gay woman. You have Amos whose sex drive is a physical need he takes care of on occasion but who is uninterested in romantic entanglements. Like there are non-hetero non-"vanilla" people all over the place and no one is bothered in the slightest.

Also the main relationship on the show (Holden-Naomi, center two in the image) is interracial.

Real "the curtains are just blue" moment.

drummer is literally a insurrectionist and revolutionary

the ending is a type of fuck you to neoliberal compromise

the belters are absolutely demanding a type of land reform in a space sense

Red Faction if it was cooler (more communist)

The show is just a thinly veiled allegory for the Cold War and why Mao was right to wanna nuke the West (this includes the revisionist USSR)

I don't know, the woman in that picture seems to be wearing pants, seems pretty woke to me

spoilerOne of the characters in the show was killed off because the actor was being a sex pest with fans

[–] [email protected] 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wish they'd have just replaced him, the character ruled even if the actor is garbage

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

That scene was weird too, they didn't have him record a death scene and so they literally just put some blood over slowed down b-roll and played a random voice clip of him saying "hell of a ride"

Underlying, ongoing struggle against empire and corporatism...

Is this show worth watching though?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Absolutely, it's one of the best scifi shows of the decade.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I only watched the first season, life got in the way of finishing my treat, but I was blown away at the production value and the universe building.

The books are obviously better, but I didn't get to finish them either 😭

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Honestly the books aren't all that much better which is a testament to the show. Both are great and worth experiencing.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I thought it was good but it got canceled before wrapping up the main plot, so I'd steer clear if you're someone who wants an ending.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Or read the books, they're also really good and the series was wrapped up not too long ago.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago

while i felt like a lot was left hanging it ended well enough that i was satisfied
