Haven't seen much of the series, but it feels right. Except for the celibacy part. I hope.

The film reminded me suspiciously of the old Traveller RPG. Same flavour, same world view, same feel.

Of course, I like Traveller quite a bit as it was the first RPG I ever ran. You've got to love a future history that starts out like this...

In the mid 22nd century, settlers in the asteroid belt invented a new engine that would take them to the nearest star in something under a week. When they got there, they were surprised to discover that the planets there were populated by colonists from a civilization vastly older than theirs. A Human civilization, Homo Sapiens sapiens.

And they were Black.

Fast forward three thousand years, sprinkle with Asimov's Foundation series and large calibre weapons, and voilá! Traveller.

Traveller has gone through several iterations over the years. Despite its obvious age and the less-than-sophisticated rules set, the original is still the best.

They're reprinted it recently as a series of oddly-sized paperback books.
