Netflix is just as guilty, but I hate how streaming companies do this (dubvee.org)

They're both right. Syfy abandoned their baby. Amazon took it in, supported it through school, and then kicked it out at 18 before it could go to college. (Last books).

    I hope someday we get a high budget remake with a lot better cgi, make the belters look like belters ya know. And adapt the last books in the series as well.

    I just want them to finish the fucking show. They won't even give us that.

    Fair, and accurate.

    I guess my gripe is mainly semantic in that it's definitely not an original production by the second production company. Streaming companies tack on "original" or "original series" when they only either took over (Amazon and The Expanse) or just have the rights to stream it on their platform (Netflix with lots of shows they definitely didn't produce).

    If they'd simply had the title card say "An Amazon Production" I'd be fine with it.

    This concludes my Nerd Rage TED Talk.

    Wasn't it an Amazon Original for the later seasons?

    Seasons 4-6, I believe. My gripe is just them calling it an "original" of theirs.

    For comparison, Hulu did a similar move for The Orville for its 3rd season. But instead of calling it a "Hulu Original" the title says "Hulu presents".

    Edit: Nevermind, I was wrong. Hulu is actually worse lol. "Hulu presents...a Hulu Original...A 20th Century Production...The Orville: New Horizons". Though they did run the show with a new name (New Horizons) so maybe that does count as an original production.
