Thomas Jane (who I thought was the Highlander and Raiden when I was a kid) almost was Rick in Walking Dead.

That was when the show was being pitched to HBO, they passed because it was "too dark"... but that same year greenlite Game Of Thrones.

Game of Thrones was in development for years before that. It was a long, difficult road getting it to air.

I'll admit I can't for some reason get past the first season, although I do like the show. I've tried rewatching it twice from the beginning. I think life just gets in the way, but his character is by far my least favorite and I typically like Thomas Jane as an actor. Does his character improve throughout?

Hell yeah he does, I didn't like him in the beginning either. But by the end, he was my favourite.

The first season of The Expanse is difficult for many people and even though I only needed a couple episode, I can understand why.
As someone else already said, seasons 2 & 3 are absolutely phenomenal though. Some of the best TV I've ever seen.

Season 4 is not bad either, but not as great as the previous two. Seasons 5/6 are still good compared to other shows, but overall a bit disappointing I would say.

Yes, everything about the Expanse gets better through the first season. Season 2 and 3 is where it peaked.

The show went to shit when it moved to Amazon (s4,5 and 6).

Miller was my favorite character in the books, I had never seen Thomas Jane act in anything before, and I thought he did a great job!
