4.0

It's magnificent and hard sci-fi and wonderful and packed with science fiction. And also character driven.

It's not perfect. There are lots topics and ideas and concepts that are just touched on the surface, leaving lots of plots and elements unfinished or at least their potential unfulfilled. Of course, all the stuff that seemingly happens off stage makes for a grander tapestry, so it might be on purpose. But the series easily has material to be twice the length.
