What’s it about?

Space opera with political overtones. In the not-so-distant future, the solar system has been colonized, but Earth (the UN) and Mars are not getting along, and the Belters have formed a loose coalition to struggle against the inner planets exploiting them. Meanwhile, some kind of alien life form has entered the system, and is being weaponized by a rich dude and a team of mad scientists. Things go bad, and the multi-national (Earth, Mars and Belter) crew of a ship are caught up in it, and end up the protagonists of the series.

The acting is pretty solid and the sets and SFX are almost realistic. No fancy FTL drives here. Just plain old reaction drives. Give it a shot.
