What could be costing so much? There aren’t many special effects, the cast isn’t large, most aren’t very famous, the sets aren’t elaborate, the wardrobe is simple.

That was my thought when I read this article. 99% of the show takes place within the confines of Lumen, in stark white office spaces, with the cast sitting at bare computer desks, no decoration on office walls, nothing, with very little taking place outside the complex, and that is just in completely normal looking homes where those people live, so why is the cost of these episodes so high? It doesn't make sense at all.
