I think a lot of us are waiting for it to break on Netflix. I'm currently rewatching the series, next to GOT its my favourite TV series.
I love this series (and it continually mystifies me why it isn't more popular) but haven't read any of the books for fear of spoilers.
Would someone who has read the Expanse book series tell me if they've passed the first book or whereabouts are they in the book series? I'm dying to read the series itself but don't want to be spoiled by reading ahead (aka the game of thrones syndrome).

They are closing in on the end of book 2 "Caliban's War" and seeding some things from book 3 like Anna. You're in the clear for reading Leviathan Wakes, and then give it until like S3 Ep8 to start Caliban's War.
What he said. The first book was mostly covered in season 1.
Chill people this is a GOOD thing. First, it is second only to Game of Thrones in per-episode cost at $7-9 million, SyFy just can't afford it. Second, Alcon who owns the rights to the show ARE going to shop it around, it will without a doubt get picked up, and as said we will finally get to enjoy it's R rating instead of having to wait for the Blu-Rays.
I went off on a tirade this morning over that. I am so pissed about this right now... The Expanse is the only show on right now that I don't at least once an episode throw my hands up and say ******* IT STOP BEING STUPID to the characters. I hope like hell it gets scooped up quickly.
But that's true of EVERY show out there. Characters act dumb because the writers have no idea how to get smart characters to do the dumb things that are required by the shallow and cliched plots. Sure, The Expanse looks pretty, but the story is just as dumb as everything else.
