I loved the world building, but there was such a huge disconnect between the details of the world and the lib brained quests I kinda wonder if they had to cut the second half of each major quest where the people you shuffled around resolve the deeper conflict.

Little details like half of edgewater's homes being sealed up after it's residents couldn't afford to pay rent back to Earth (forcing them into banditry) and the disease and lottery being tools to reduce surplus population feel like the writers wanted to stress how violent the status quo is to set everyone on a collision course until the contradictions are resolved.

But then they never are, it reaches what should be the climax, one side subject to certain famine or the same untenable conditions that created this situation, and then nothing happens.
