It is, which I haven't read but is credited in the title sequence. Yeah, the credits came up just after I typed that. I stopped watching then, think my wife might want to watch it with me. I have read the book. It's an interesting Traveller inspiration, given that the story is very religious (the main character is a Christian missionary to an alien race) and Traveller ... isn't.

I need to buy the Expanse. I don't have cable and SciFi is not streaming it anywhere. I'm pretty sure it's on Amazon Prime free streaming

S1 is on Netflix methinks.
That being said, feel free to buy it. The ratings aren't terrible, but they're terribly low compared to how good it is.

Well, I just finished watching Oasis. All the reveals from the book get "spoiled" in the first few minutes, and it seems that the series, if it gets the green light, will take a very different path. Not a worse path necessarily, but different.

Dark Matter on Netflix feels like a Traveller campaign where all the players are new and the GM rolled their characters for them and is keeping their backgrounds a secret.

If you want some inspiration for Colony life, I always like Outcasts or Earth 2. Liam Cunningham is part of Outcasts and Tim Curry is always a fun time, especially as an antagonist in Earth 2.
