Why? They talked funny, they cursed in Chinese and I had trouble understanding what was going on. Of course it was happening hundreds of years from now. Now it is a classic and an inspired science fiction show. It was original and unique. So is "Moonhaven". The "moonies" do act and talk different though the "earthers" talk more "normal". But wouldn't people in a hundred years talk different than us, have different ways of saying things. Give this a chance; it is unique and different. I also didn't like "The Expanse" at first because they "talked different".
