Just read that the final season of 'The Expanse' cost over $10 million per episode to make, found that in a random article on my phone last night.
Explains why the space scenes looked so insane, but man, I wish they'd spent a bit more on the writers for that last arc, anyone else feel like the ending was rushed?

Totally get that. The VFX were next level, especially the Ring Station stuff. But the Laconia plot just got squashed into a few episodes. Felt like we needed a whole extra season to let that war breathe, not just a montage at the end.

Yeah the montage at the end felt so rushed. I had the same thing happen with another show where the last season crammed a whole book into three episodes. What worked for me was just accepting the show's ending but then reading the books to get the full story. The extra detail made the rushed parts make more sense.

Whole extra season" is right. The budget was all on screen, not in the writing room. They built this huge world just to sprint past the finish line.
