Let's be honest, TV shows and movies nowadays are dogshit storywise. Video games have way better stories because they actually have to engage the audience to want to discover it. TV shows just need to grab attention for a season, get cancelled and move on to the next season long trailer.

Mass Effect made a game with a Sci-Fi story better than any Sci-Fi show that has come out since then. WarHammer 40k did a pretty good job too.

The expanse is pretty good. I'd say at least as good as mass effect.

Because the expanse is a book that was adapted into a show

Even better, the authors of the books were actively involved in writing the TV show. That's why it's so great.

Fun fact: for the show they hired an actual linguist to develop the langbelta more. So the show actually has a better conlang than the books.

That's what I came here for to say. It's not our fault that most TV shows and movies suck ass.
