Any other sci-fi geeks looking forward to it? I'm rewatching the first series as there is a lot going on and I didn't remember everything.

Is that the Netflix one where there are humans who have never been to planet earth and are all tall from living in low gravity? Kinda deep space detective murder mystery thing going on with weird space fungus?

I liked that. Think I bought the book it was based on although haven't got round to reading it Blush thanks for heads up!

Yes, that's the one. I did think it must have been a challenge to cast when I watched it the first time, so many lanky, long-faced actors. Grin I love the attention to detail of the series, it all looks like it could really work (except for the zero gravity sex scene, that wouldn't work without something to brace against IMO). Everything's a bit grimy and the paint is worn down to the metal in high use areas. And Ceres has its own accent, a sort of cross between South African and Chinese, whereas Eros has quite a caribbean accent.

Yay! I only just stumbled upon the first series and so can avoid the whole yearning and loss when finished it :)

Think I might rewatch it too, I remember enjoying it to the point I was sad when I'd watched them all! Yes, it all seems quite plausible. In a suspension-of-disbelief kinda way!

The first series doesn't resolve at all, I was a bit Shock at the cliffhanger style ending. It's always a bit worrying because if it doesn't get watched enough then there's always a chance they will cancel the series and then I would never be able to lust after Amos know what happened to everyone.
