Second this.. Highly recommend the Expanse. There is definitely some tribalism and social justice type undertones with Earth being viewed as Imperialists and oppresors and tries to force you to sympathize with the belters. It is a great sci-fi though and well written. Amos and Alex are by far the best characters imo. Naomi and Holden are annoying as fuck. Thomas Jane's character is also good.
Holden was definitely a brazen casting choice. Not even remotely how I pictured him, though I suspect the casting directors might have been more right about what the authors intended (both because they had access to said authors, and also are, you know, professional casting directors) than I was. Thomas Jane was great; that dysfunctional role seems to have suited him better than virtually anything else he's been in.
That could definitely have a big impact on the character. Maybe, I'm being a bit harsh and I think Holden does have some redeeming qualities. He just tries to too hard or something and always gets on this moral high horse for lack of a better word.
