From various write ups I had read on Arstechnica I just got the impression it was about mining labor disputes.

Ars has never been a bastion of particularly good reviews outside of technology / hardware--those years of Ben Kuchera, sweet Jesus--but their culture reviews have really, really gone into the shitter ever since Lee Hutchinson took over that department. Nowadays, their review of anything cultural, be it a book, movie, TV show, what have you, is basically shaded by insane hyperbole and ridiculous amounts of begging the question (which is to say, making an argument based upon facts not in evidence). I just checked their Expanse writeups and, yep, most of them have been done by Annalee Newitz, who just spouts the most inane tripe.

I don't think Expanse is a stone-cold classic, but it's definitely worth watching a few episodes to see if it's your speed.
