I started watching this series and I have to say it's a struggle. The biggest obstacle are meaningless dialogs. Who talks like that? Not to mention that some actors are mumbling. Otherwise it would be interesting story.

The dialogs are not meaningless, you just need patience. The talking and mumbeling is on purpose. Diplomats talk like diplomats, belters like belters, martians like martians, different individuals like different individiuals. That's just realistic.
Interesting setting, but the first season certainly seemed a little lengthy and this is why I cannot with good conscience rate this any higher than 7/10. It seems like season 2 is in the makings... Honestly, I am ambivalent towards this. It is not the kind of Space Sci-Fi I imagined it would be. Actually, I am disappointed. Maybe I wouldn't be disappointed if not the lengthy feel of season 1 combined with a lack of imagination or rather a lack of direction. This is because at the end of the day nothing really happened here.
Character development and background is there!
The cast's performance is good and doesn't make you doubt them for one moment.
The music is... I don't care.
The story starts off well but quickly turns into a boring shithole with no chance of a plot resolution/development anytime soon.I still like it though and I hope they will prove me wrong in season 2!

Not just good, very good, and this by new, quite young, unknown actors! -

You just watch the show with 1 eye, didn't you!? I'm proud to disagree with you in every aspect you name. Looks like you want to make your opinion things look like objective things just to write a review style.
This is the first real sci-fi show in years! It is no action series the whole time. Technically scifi is either a distopia or utopia, not even has to have any action, technical or future stuff in it. Obviously its for a mature audience which has patience and understands the superb deep storytelling. In contrary the beginning is a bit boring, because of the must of explaining every party and character in this complex system, but if you get the direction, you see the perfectly undisappointed Imagination of humans and their behavior in a future scifi setting with fantastic CGI in TV, you don't saw since BSG. Later they even change the genre going from political over mystery to a more horror style in the end of season 1. The music is good and in scenes you need to get the atmosphere there is no music at all. But there is sound in space, that's the only unrealistic. And there are no lengthy things, every scene connects to the story by time. Indeed there is happening much. But if once got used and brainwashed to dumped down "scifi" being in fact action from J.J.Abrahams and Roland Emerich, once can miss all these overwhelming details. Nothing is like it seems and the route is the goal.
Otherwise I would suggest just to watch the last episode of every show!
