Two hundred years in the future, in a fully colonized Solar System, police detective Josephus Miller (Thomas Jane), born in the asteroid belt, is given the assignment to find a missing young woman, Julie Mao (Florence Faivre). Meanwhile, James Holden (Steven Strait), the first officer of an ice freighter, is witness to an unprovoked attack upon the ship, by attack craft believed to be from Mars (MCRN Federation). As news of the attack spreads throughout the System, the incident's flow-on threatens to destabilize already tenuous relations between Earth, Mars and The Belt. Far away from the struggles in deep space, on Earth, Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo), a powerful United Nations executive & diplomat, works to prevent war between Earth and Mars by any means at her disposal. Soon, the three find out that the missing woman and the ice freighter's fate are part of a vast covert conspiracy that threatens all humanity.

This is another TV Show I have that I have yet to watch.
Kinda waitng till I have time to Binge Watch it completely.
From the reviews I have read it looks to be really decent for a SyFy production, but they do make good TV Shows don't they.
I'm convinced that the cinematography and special effects are outstanding.
What do you think?
Is it on par with BattleStar Galactica?
Do we have a winner here or is it just another wannabe SyFy endeavour?
Sound off, Let your voice be heard.
Rate this baby!
