WOW! This show is rock 'n roll from start to finish, and this Blu-Ray set is a must-have for us videophiles, now that the streamers seem to be dropping this & other shows from their libraries. You will not regret the time you invest in this epic sci-fi meets political intrigue meets drug warfare meets wild frontier meets roller-coaster ride drama-fest. The entire cast is unbelievable, with the standout being the great Shohreh Aghdashloo, whose every moment on screen is delectable, and whose character has to be one of the all-time best conceived, written & performed roles in TV history. But I would add it is no small feat to stand out on this show, because the entire cast is stupendous - not a dud in the lot. And be warned, you must pay attention while watching the episodes, this is not a passive series because there's a lot to keep track of to make sense of it. You may have to go back & re-watch an episode or two along the way, even. But as I said, the return on your investment is BANG!

Awesome series of The Expanse that's filmed in Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.
I like the fact that it's individual packaging just like Smallville complete series Blu-ray is. I think The Expanse is an awesome series. Seasons 1 and 2 were great. Season 3 was all about the war but a good season. I still haven't watched the rest but I am hoping it's great overall. It's worthwhile picking up this series. Had to pick it up on 鶹 because it wasn't available at Sunrise Records and got it at a great price.

I went to 鶹 Prime Video to start a rewatch of the series in March 2025, only to find that selecting any episodes earlier than the final season generate an “unavailable” notice due to “licensing expiration”. So I ordered this box set on Blu Ray. The Expanse is arguably the best Sci-Fi series ever made. That’s all I’ll say about the series. Instead, I’ll drop a comment on this Blu Ray set.
Great series, but some annoying things about this box set
Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2025
Edit: I have watched the first 4 episodes so far. As others have said, there are ads for about a half dozen other movies before the menu comes up, and at first I too thought you cannot skip them. But after experimenting with the icons I found the "Play" button does skip to the menu. But if you click the next icon to the right it closes those options and I don't know how to get them back other than starting over. It also took a bit of fiddling to find where to select episodes. Not a very intuitive or well thought-out navigation system. I also tried activating captions during scenes in which I had trouble understanding the dialogue. The first captions I saw appeared in two or three lines of large fonts, occupying most of the top right quarter of the screen, and each subsequent caption was in a different location on the screen. Way too intrusive, so I gave up and turned them off. That said, the picture and sound quality are very good, so if you’re willing to put up with the minor annoyances, which are the reason for 4 stars instead of 5, go for it.

One of the Greatest Television Shows of All-Time, But Marred by a Sub-Par Blu-Ray Release.

Please note that while I am giving this a 5-star rating, it is almost entirely on the back of the sheer quality of the show itself, as opposed to this physical release. I'll start by just saying that I recommend everyone reading this to check out the show. Whether that be through this release or through 鶹 Prime Streaming. This is a show absolutely worth your time. Whether you are typically a fan of science-fiction or not, The Expanse is simply one of the best written/ acted/ directed shows in recent memory and in any genre. I could not recommend it more.VarunOne of the Greatest Television Shows of All-Time, But Marred by a Sub-Par Blu-Ray Release.

Now with that out of the way, onto this release itelf:
Unfortunately, but perhaps unsurpsingly, this Blu-Ray set does not befit this fantastic series. This Blu-Ray set is merely a repackaging of the already released Season 1-4 individual Blu-Rays. This set combined those releases and tacked on a barebones Season 5 & 6 release and pretty much called it a day. It comes packaged in a cardboard slip cover that holds the individual blu-ray cases. Please see attached picture.
AUDIO/VIDEO:
The Expansse has always been one of the best looking and sounding shows on television, and that is still case with this release. In fact, the video and audio is the biggest thing this Blu-Ray set can hold its hat on.
While the episodes are not 4K, the episodes all look fantastic here. I compared one episode per season to its counterpart available on Prime Streaming, and I was surprised to find that these episodes actually looked a little bit better and sharper. There were a couple times on 鶹 Streaming where the resolution would give out (regardless of your internet connection) due to amount of content on screen, and I noticed that has been fixed on this release. The colors pop and everything looks great.
The audio was an even bigger improvent. The audio here is crisp, and it sounded particularly great on my surround sound setup. I'm not sure if the difference would be as noticeable on a sound bar or a TV's base audio setup, but I definitely did notice it on my set up. The dialogue was clear and easy to make out even during the action scenes. The space scenes in particular sounded fantastic and all the little details, such as mag-boots, are very well defined.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Unfortunately, as a fan of physical edition sets, the look of the physical set and the special features are generally the most important thing for me. It's what seperates a physical copy from Streaming. And unfortunately, that is exactly where this set leaves a lot to be desired.
Neither Season 5 nor Season 6 come with any special features at all (besides english subtitles). This means that even the One-Ship mini-episodes, which released along with Season 6, are nowhere to be found. The menus are incredibly bare-bones and don't even have the Expanse music like the other seasons do. As an extra kick in the teeth, the Season 5 case, discs and menu all have Season 4 artwork on them instead of artwork from Season 5. I try not to use the word 'lazy' too often, but frankly it's the only word that fits here. Considering the Season 5 and Season 6 releases are the only new thing with this set, I would have liked to have seen them put more effort into this.
Because the discs for Season 1-4 are still the original releases, I won't go too much into them. The amount of special features range from strong to mediocre depending on the Season, but the special features themselves are all great. Season 2 is easily the strongest here with multiple episode commentaries and other behind the scenes features. The cast and crew clearly care a lot about this show and it's always great to hear them talk about their experience with it. I really wish we got more of this for every season.
FINAL THOUGHTS
If you are someone that prefers a physical release to the modern trend of streaming, and have put off the show until a physical release was avaiable, then this set is for you. Like I've said, the show is well worth it and there's no better time to check it out. Also if you are like me, and just want to support the series in any way that you can in the hopes that it returns one day to finish adapting the final three books, then I do think you get just enough to justify what you pay for. I picked up the set for $70, and I do think it is worth that amount (I did not own any of the original Season 1-4 Blu Ray sets).
However it is hard to recommend this set to anyone else, when the episodes are already avaiable on Prime Streaming, where they look and sound great. As I said, I do think you do get slighly better picture here and better audio here, but it's not really enough to justify the additional purchase on it's own. The show was already one of the best looking and sounding shows available on TV. Some additional special-features (even if just the One-Ship mini episodes) and a nicer looking box-set would have really gone a long way here.
It's really unfortunate that with the modern trend of Streaming, that physical releases have become more and more bare-bones. The Expanse is the latest victim of that trend. Ultimately, I don't think this release is worth it for anyone that can already access the episodes through 鶹 Prime. But for anyone else, the show itself more than justifies the purchase. The show is that good.
