I remember thinking Company of Heroes was doing a lot of innovative things and streamlining the resource gathering, but nobody seemed to play it online.
Duo is a simple Facetime style app. Messages is the default messaging app and it's what 99% of people use. Everything else will probably he shut down eventually since Google does that left and right.
It's probably fine for syfy but I have not seen anything on syfy that was remotely interesting to me. The budgets don't allow bad actors so they seem to hire people who would be considered "ok" extras. The sets are boring, the stories are lame. They know they don't have to worry about quality, plenty of people are so bored or boring that this stuff is worth spending their time watching.
I'm really sad this was a book first too. From what I've seen, even if the book is better, it's still bad. I have high hopes for every syfy show because I like science fiction but every little thing they do is bad.
Syfy is having a renaissance. The Expanse and Incorporated are getting praise from mainstream press. Bradley Cooper is also executive producing an adaptation of the Hyperion series for Syfy. Syfy is actually outbidding other networks for some of these shows. Adam Savage made a 20 minute video about why he loves The Expanse show so much.
As for actors - The Expanse has Hollywood actors like Thomas Jane (Punisher, Thin Red Line) and Jared Harris (Mad Men, The Crown).
I don't like Pocket Cast because the Premium Beast feed stopped working for me and re-adding it doesn't work. Not that huge of a deal but Pocket Casts isn't perfect.
Yeah I don't have high hopes for the suits but I doubt we'll get more than an episode or two of battles anyway for budgetary reasons. And since most actors tend to be average height or even shorter like Tom Cruise, I bet someone 6ft tall can easily be made to look even larger with simple camera tricks.
