    About The Expanse:
    The disappearance of rich-girl-turned-political-activist Julie Mao links the lives of Ceres detective Joe Miller (Thomas Jane), accidental ship captain James Holden (Steven Strait) and U.N. politician Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo). Amidst political tension between Earth, Mars and the Belt, they unravel the single greatest conspiracy of all time.
    About The Expanse Seasons 2:
    In this noir thriller set two hundred years in the future, the case of a missing young woman leads a washed-up detective across the solar system to uncover the greatest conspiracy in human history.
    About The Expanse Seasons 3:
    As the Rocinante crew digs deeper into the search for Prax's missing daughter, the war between Earth and Mars turns deadly in ways the solar system has never seen. But a new threat in the outer reaches of the Belt could prove much more dangerous, threatening to test the very future of humanity.
    About The Expanse Seasons 4:
    Season 4 of The Expanse, its first as a global Amazon Original, begins a new chapter for the series with the crew of the Rocinante on a mission from the U.N. to explore new worlds beyond the Ring Gate. Humanity has been given access to thousands of Earth-like planets which has created a land rush and furthered tensions between the opposing nations of Earth, Mars and the Belt. Ilus is the first of these planets, one rich with natural resources but also marked by the ruins of a long dead alien civilization. While Earthers, Martians and Belters maneuver to colonize Ilus and its natural resources, these early explorers don’t understand this new world and are unaware of the larger dangers that await them.

    I have never seen a genuine sociopath portrayed with such awareness and with such a strong undercurrent of good person combined with crippling sadness. When he opens up about the things that made him the way he is and shows how he is trying do be better, it's some of the saddest stuff in this series.

      He's not sociopathic, the fact that he's very empathetic to children suffering is proof of that, both in the books and in the show. Emotionally stunted, maybe, but I would say it's more along the lines of morally apathetic.

      @@Gaudy6523 Agreed, and thanks for pointing that out. Amos is as complex a character as they come, masterfully played by Wes Chatham. I've never read a series that translated the complexity of the inner narrative into visual scenes like this one. Sadly, but happily, i'm about to go watch the last episode season 4. BTW, all the actors are amazing. The writers, the crew, etc. Check out Adam Savages latest with Dom and Stephen.

      @@Gaudy6523 It's pretty clear that something happened to Amos when he was 5 that makes him unable to empathize with anyone except children and possibly parents defending their children (the only adult character he has any emotional connection with is Prax, the father searching for his daughter at any cost)
      He's no textbook sociopath, but when not dealing with children he displays sociopathic behaviours.

    My fave Amos moment doesn't involve him saying anything. On Ganymede, when Meng (the botanist looking for his daughter) called Amos his best friend in the whole world, Amos just had this amazing startled look on his face. But he didn't contradict Meng either, and you could just tell that at that moment, Amos would have taken a bullet for the Doc, no questions asked. Heck, a couple of moments later, he kind of did.

      @demetriajeffries1649 Před 4 lety +86

      The whole exchange running between Prax and Amos about how a child needs at least 1 person that they can rely on shows that Amos knows what's important. When he takes Meng's hand, you see that he would have taken a bullet for her as well. He knew that if Prax had killed Strickland, he wouldn't be the man that Meng would need to guide her through life.

He's lacking certain interpersonal skills - or perhaps simply doesn't care to conform to the social norms that dictate their use - but his observation and intelligence means he can still read a person, correctly and quickly. Amos is a highly competent tactical thinker, his situational awareness is probably on a very close par with Bobbie Draper.

Cannot wait to see Season 5, which hopefully will be a longer one than Season 4, which as amazing as it is, I felt 10 episodes was too short and more time could have been spent telling the story in Cibola Burn as opposed to setting up Season 5 and Nemesis Games.

    Amos Burton was one of the best developed characters I've ever seen, and Wes Chatham played him brilliantly. In fact, since I'm looking for something new to watch tonight, I'm heading over to IMDB next to find some of his other work.

    "I am that guy" still the best line and scene for Amos. Everything else is just gravy lol

    I just love Amos. There's so much pain and confusion there. Major kudos to Wes for doing such a brilliant job with what could have been a really cliched character. I think he's my fave.

    By far one of the best non scifi/scifi/science related tv dramas i've ever watched. Engaging, beautifully shot, Grade A acting and portrayal of each character had their own shine and charisma. I'm sad that it ended and I hope they do a spin-off or with any luck do another couple seasons. Outstanding show!

    Wes Chatham doesn't meet the physical description of Amos at all, but he absolutely NAILS the energy of that character.

    the crew are portrayed as everyday people, each has a background and each has a current day, but each proves that every person has a heart and can be a hero. It is a story of every man we choose what we want to be. we will be remembered for what we choose. what is the old saying a butcher, a beggar ,a pope or a king.

    If only you would finish season 6 and make more seasons. It's one of the few shows I will watch over and over again.

      Be patient. There's plenty of more story to tell, and a rabid fanbase. The cast is unanimously on board to come back. The sets are in storage. It may take a few years, but I'd be blown away if the Laconia story isn't put to the small screen.
      And hey, there's always the books, which start out great and only get better.

    The best show Amazon prime has bought or made. The best Scifi show made to date. Easily.
    Also - one of the best sci-fi characters ever made in terms of complexity and character arch.

    Idiot: “Someday I think, you and I are going to end up bloody.”
    Amos: “How about now? I’m free right now.”
    Epic badass response.
