   Definitely not a requirement, but it can detract. Usually it's really a   
   script problem.   
      
   The acting in The Expanse was all about the accents. In general, I liked   
   more of the female actors. I prefer dull over bad, so Steven Strait and   
   Thomas Jane were okay by me, Keon Alezander not so much.   
      
   Space opera has enough ridiculous situations that dull can be a relief.
