SyFy gets a lot of good shows but unlike FX they dumpster them pretty quick. Exhibit A: Amazon's new show, The Expanse!
Also important for tumang to learn about The Expanse. Sasa ke?

Here are few steps for non-US users to stream The Expanse, although they'd be still breaking the Amazon's T&C.
Step 1: Get an amazon.com account.
Step 2: Load balance through your credit or debit card - https://www.amazon.com/asv/reload/order?_encoding=UTF8&ref_=asv_gclp_bwd_pd
Step 3: Use a fake US address and set that as your default address.
Step 4: Buy the episodes & season pass - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BZ3SCM/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Now that you're done, you can watch the series without a VPN. Increase in digital sales, DVDs & Blu-rays are probably the only real ways to get Amazon on board. So do what you can.
S01 is on Amazon Prime in the US.
My recommendations from books I read in the last year or so (yes, these are all VERY STRONG recommends curated from ~100 books in the last year) -
​
Science fiction-
Derek Kunsken's The Quantum Magician (I would describe it as a cross between Oceans Eleven with some not-too-Hard Science Fiction. Apparently will be a series, but is perfectly fine as a standalone novel).
Cixin Lu's very popular Three Body Problem series (Mixes cleverly politics, sociology, psychology and science fiction)
James A Corey's The Expanse Series (which has been made into the best sci fi tv series ever!)
Hannu Rajaniemi's Quantum Thief series (Hard science fiction. WARNING - A lot of the early stuff is intentionally mystifying with endless terminology that’s only slowly explained since the main character himself has lost his memories. Put piecing it all together is part of the charm.)
​
Fantasy-
James Islington's Shadow of What was Lost series (a deep series which makes you think - deep magic, politics, religion all intertwined)
Will Wight's Cradle series (has my vote for one of the best fantasy series ever written)
Brandon Sanderson Legion series (Brandon Sanderson. Nuff said. Creative as always)
​
Manga -
Yukito Kishiro's Alita, Battle Angel series (the manga on what the movie was based)
​
Non-Fiction-
Jonathan Haidt's The Righteous Mind - Why Good People are Divided by Politics and Religion (and how we are not as rational as we believe we are, and how passion works in tandem with rationality in decision making and is actually required for good decisionmaking)
Rothery's Geology - A Complete Introduction (as per title)
Joseph Krauskopf's A Rabbi's Impressions of the Oberammergau Passion Play, available to read online for free, including a fabulous supplementary of Talmud Parallels to the NT (a Rabbi in 1901 explains why he is not a Christian)
​
Audiobooks -
Bob Brier's The History of Ancient Egypt (as per title - 25 hrs of the best audiobook lectures. Incredible)
​
Academic biblical studies-
Richard Elliot Friedman's Who Wrote The Bible and The Exodus (best academic biblical introductory books into the Documentary Hypothesis and Qenite/Midian hypothesis)
Israel Finkelstein's The Bible Unearthed (how archaelogy relates to the bible)
E.P. Sander's Judaism: Practice and Belief, 63BCE-66CE (most detailed book of what Judaism is and their beliefs, and one can see from this balanced [Christian] scholar how Christianity has colored our perspectives of what Jews and Pharisees were really like)
Avigdor Shinan's From gods to God (how Israel transitioned from polytheism to monotheism)
Mark S Smith's The Early History of God (early history of Israel, Canaanites, and YHWH)
James D Tabor's Paul and Jesus: How the Apostle Transformed Christianity (as per title)
Tom Dykstra's Mark Canonizer of Paul (engrossing - will make you view the gospel of Mark with new eyes)
Jacob L Wright's King David and His Reign Revisited (enhanced ibook - most readable book ever on King David)
Jacob Dunn's thesis on the Midianite/Kenite hypothesis (free pdf download - warning - highly technical but also extremely well referenced)
You know the entire first season is on amazon prime right?

Awesome. Shohreh Aghdashloo would make an awesome live-action portrayal of her. She currently plays the completely bad ass Chrisjen Avasarala in the great space opera, The Expanse.
You can catch it on SyFy, Amazon Prime. Definitely a plug. Great show. If you enjoy reading, you can also pick up any or all of the books by James S. A. Corey! Funny note.. it says "8 book series" yet the link says "7 book series". Sorry if any of the links are against the rules!
The best sci-fi book series to come out in a very long time! The first book is Leviathan Wakes; five more have been written so far, and three more are scheduled to come out over the next three years (and the authors have been pretty good about keeping to that schedule, unlike a certain fantasy author we all know and love).
If reading books isn't your jam or you don't have time, there are also audiobooks some fans swear by. There's also a TV show which just wrapped up its second season, which you can get on Amazon Prime in the US and Netflix everywhere else.
If you like sci-fi that does its best to stick to actual science, space battles, political intrigue, and likeable characters who grow more complex with every book, I highly reccommend it!
THE EXPANSE! Best SciFi I’ve seen recently (after Sense8) https://www.amazon.com/The-Expanse-Season-1/dp/B018BZ3SCM
It's included.
Amazon Prime has seasons one and two for free, season three you have to pay for. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BZ3SCM
Here's a handy character and location guide poster, if you need it https://i.redditmedia.com/HKfE42cU4wQIK3JPAkZ_BteUoEzKJBKrjNl9INv3S_M.jpg?s=c4c64ada4f128a5b8bc7c75cc1df0e8d
I think it's available through regular Amazon also... here are a couple options:

https://www.amazon.com/The-Expanse-Season-1/dp/B018BZ3SCM
https://itunes.apple.com/us/tv-season/the-expanse-season-1/id1059088673
They aren't "cutting content". This format is standard across the industry. Go back and check the runtime of Season 1 episodes. They are all right around 40-43 minutes depending on episode, with episode 1 the only one being 44 minutes.
https://www.amazon.com/Dulcinea/dp/B018BZ3SCM
Same is true for Season 2 - every episode is between 40 and 44 minutes long.
Nothing has changed.

Of course, this isn't really 100% legit since you're not a US resident and you're supposed to only be able to watch seasons 1&2 on Netflix and nothing else. But it's not like you risk anything or that Amazon's gonna complain, money is still money, wherever it's coming from.
It is on Amazon already: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018BZ3SCM
If the fans want to make a big impact, they should buy the seasons (if they can). At Amazon or any of their preferred vendors.

People on reddit love to say "speak with your wallet" when trying to hurt a product for one reason or another, but it applies the other way around too.
