PSA: I watched the first three seasons of The Expanse wrong and didn't even know it...
I mean, I binged it on my phone during lunch breaks for months, missing all the visual details and political world-building, so when my friend in Denver quoted a scene from Ceres station I had zero clue what he was talking about, and now I'm rewatching the whole thing on a proper screen. Has anyone else totally ruined a show for themselves by watching it the wrong way?

What phone screen size were you using for those Ceres station details?

Honestly the sound design matters as much as the visuals, something @shane_wilson probably missed too on a phone speaker. You lose the engine hum and station creaks that build the whole feel of a place like Ceres. It just becomes people talking in rooms.

I'm not sure it's really that serious. Plenty of people watched The Expanse on a standard TV with basic speakers and still understood the show just fine. The story and characters are what carry it, not the background hum of a space station. I get that sound adds atmosphere, but acting like @shane_wilson missed something fundamental just because he watched on a phone seems a bit much. People have been watching movies and shows on all kinds of setups for decades without issue. Maybe give the guy a break and let him enjoy the show how he wants.
