Honestly, you may be able to for the expanse. I would argue at least the last few episodes of S1, but there is definitely a bit of a tonal shift as the screenwriters worked themselves closer to the books. Imo S2 & 3 have the strongest arcs whose themes bleed into the rest, with the world changing around those later.
I could not at all sink into for all mankind, knowing some of the major plot beats didn’t help at all, i honestly don’t know if i watched enough to make a judgement, but also trying to have a kid on Mars was probably the dumbest thing I heard that definitely pushed me away
Man, I wish I could just skip S1, then. If I can’t then I may never see it as there is so much else out there!
