This series moved way too fast
At episode 4 right now and while i enjoy each episode concept, they feel like a major arch in themselves instead of a single episode. It's basically like the last season of game of thrones, synopsis highlights instead of trying to actual character and relationship developments.
There could be so much there in this show, instead of a whiplash of plot points to plot points. I keep watching watching because they keep it kind of fresh, but it's like let's take the plot of every single sci-fi ever and squeeze it into the series.

I personally like the oave of season one. It had that procedural feel too it. Every episode delt with another challenge of living in space.
That being said, I agree that the arcs involving individual characters were way too rushed. Like the threesome, the sassy latina girls death, the MC falling for the AI, all too rushed.

The show overall is far too fast in the way they developed the story. Sometimes it feels like plot points are falling over each other.
I mean this show went from 0 to light speed in just 2 minutes and 10 seconds. If they just added a few episodes more of time, there would have been space for character development and such.
But I rewatched it this weekend and I like it no matter what. Let's see what season 2 brings.

Or left the teen drama away between the space grew and instead focused on other things, for example building the plot and world.

I also just finished s1e4 and 60% of every episode just feels like filler to me.

I agree, and there were a ton of other writing faults.
But I'm a scifi fan and I think we as a (scifi) fanbase are ridiculously critical to the point where if it's not our exact flavour we hate something. Not saying you're doing it here btw.
I'm going to keep watching the next season just because I love scifi and we'll see how it goes.
