So Great to See Him Again in The Expanse


I recently caught up with Syfy Channel's new show "The Expanse" and it's great!!! Was so happy to see Thomas Jane play one of the lead characters. He is doing a great job as Joe Miller, a detective 200 years in the future as the people from Earth colonized Mars and the asteroid belt and are on the verge of war. Joe reminds me so much of a 40s noir detective, including wearing a fedora, and I love his character. Has really great chemistry with the actress who plays his ex-girlfriend Octavia, as well as his police partner, and there's some mystery to his past as well. I do know it's based off a book series and Thomas' character will join up with Steven Strait's Jim Holden, and it's already been renewed for season 2 for next year. It's so nice seeing Thomas back on my TV since I've been a fan of his since I first saw him as Mickey Mantle in "61" in 2001. Can't wait for the rest of this season and what's next for his character.

Agreed. He really shined in episode 5. His interrogation of the charter pilot was great. Also looks like he's really taking this character seriously with his Belter haircut and how thin he's become.

Exactly, and episode 6 was even better!!! I loved last night's episode and Thomas is just amazing as Miller. It's becoming one of my favorite roles I've seen him in.
