... On the other hand, it deepens Persis’ character, which I liked very much.

There are three nice nods to earlier-produced, later-in-universe timeline shows:

Ich bin kein Politikwissenschaftler, aber mein gefährliches Halbwissen denkt: Wir sehen in ganz vielen Autokratien Weltweit, dass sie mit mittelstarker Wirtschaft eine Elite mindestens so gut versorgen können wie ein WEIRD Staat und weniger Einmischung durch Konzerne und Weltgemeinschaft erfahren.

Also, the setting works great. A sterile, high-security medical station is a perfect contrast to the raw, chaotic energy of the Augments.
