You might view this series as a precursor to the Expanse. Separated of course by a few hundred years. There is so much about this show that puts it apart from everything else in the media. Some reviewers say this is an alternate history show but it's used only as a gimmick to have the U. S. and Russia put a lot more resources into the Space Program so it expands instead of being left to wither like it has in the current history. If you are unhappy with alternative history just view it as what might be possible starting in the year 2040 after we get our act together here on Earth (hopefully).
1) It's full of surprises and never gets boring. I hate predictable stories. You won't be able to predict this one.
2) The technical accuracy is there except for the availability of fission and fusion engines (who knows, if we stopped wasting money on weapons and warfare maybe we could have this technology by now and, well, maybe we do. Wink wink, nudge nudge)
3) The characters are all deep and well fleshed out.
Congratulations to the writers, producers, actors, set designers, costume designers and CGI artists and programmers. I frankly don't know how you pulled this off. It must have been a lot of work but the end result was the best TV series ever.
This is now my favorite television series of all time.
The last scene of the last season left me with tears in my eyes it was just so cool.
