Early Expanse video out now for Patrons! (Patreon)

This month, we explored The Expanse, analysing all forty-six episodes – we're working with Amazon on this recap video, and they provided early access to The Expanse Season 4, which is super cool. This is the first time we've worked so closely with a third party on a video – it's awesome getting special access straight from the studio, but there's also more rigmarole involved in getting a final video approved. So this video isn't necessarily the final public version, but I wanted to show you Patrons what we've got – the idea is a super-accessible, super-concise recap of the major characters. The production style is a little different to the usual Alt Shift X video – do you like it as is, or should we give it the usual ASX giant mindmap style in the final version?

While the Expanse video gets finalised, we're moving on to His Dark Materials. It's such a wonderful story, and we can draw from the book series to explore the deeper meaning behind the show. We might even compare it to the much-maligned Golden Compass movie... Expecting to call this video "What is Dust? His Dark Materials Season 1 Explained".

The new Watchmen show is also pretty intriguing, but I don't feel we can make Alt Shift X videos about it until the season's done. As yet, there are too many unresolved plotlines and mysteries to say what it's really all about. But goddamn, watching [SPOILERS/ Jeremy Irons fish foetuses from a lake then catapult himself onto Europa /SPOILERS] is pretty bloody memorable television.

So we'll do a His Dark Materials video, and maybe a Watchmen video. And soon enough, we'll get back to ASOIAF with a Patron topic vote soon. Thanks for your patience! Tackling new series is always super time-consuming – but we've built a great foundation for future videos about The Expanse, the Watchmen comic and His Dark Materials as well as ASOIAF and Westworld.

Thanks for your support!
