This cropped up on Netflix recently, apparently on SyFy before that but until now I'd not heard about it over here. based on a series of books, novellas and shorts by James SA Corey (apparently a pseudonym for two writers doing so in collaboration: Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.)
According to many who have read the books, the series does the stories justice. I can say that it's thoroughly gripping with episodes that fly by before you know it.
As can be seen in the trailer, there are definitely a few nods to SF movie and TV creative powerhouses such as Blade Runner, Babylon 5 and Firefly, which works well. I also found echoes of the game Brink too - but that may just be me.
If you like hard SF that doesn't regurgitate all of the safe, old tropes, then I think you should give this a go - it certainly took me by surprise.
