I really like the personal interactions among the characters in the story and the performance is good. The issue I have is that the space battles are just not realistic and I prefer more realism. The tactics used by both sides in the battles are essentially WW2 tactics where two carrier fleets sail into each other and slug it out. In an actual scenario, I would think that stealth, advanced missiles, kinetic weapons, AI, and automation would play prominent roles. As was has evolved in our time, we see trends where humans still lose their lives but in much fewer numbers due to advanced technology, intelligence and doctrines designed to take advantage of such. I think more real science is needed.
