Telly’s Take
Though the ratings for season two of The Expanse dropped off some compared to season one, it is still one of Syfy’s top performers. I suspect that the mystery space opera will be renewed for a third season, but I will keep an eye on this series. 3/16 update: Syfy renewed the series for a third season. No dining for me here.
