I've only seen 4 episodes so far but I have to wonder, how much is being spent on this? This is easily in the running for the highest quality sci fi space anything, ever made. It's basically like a big budget movie every episode.

I like the show so far, great writing and I'm curious where it'll end up but more than anything I'm so baffled by how good looking this show is, there is not 1 single corner cut anywhere.

1 of the main characteristics of a true high budget / really well made show or movie is how much it can afford to actually showcase large pools of people / talent. Audiences, crowds, people everywhere in the background doing real things and it's all period. It's not really about CGI and stuff like that, it's the obvious scale you see through all the large sets, all the people filling in the crevices of every moment etc.
