The show versus tell problem I think was a bit of a consistent problem. It DID make it a bit too easy to ignore that there would be SOME benefit to a system like this. I honestly would have liked even just an episode or two to make the system on the whole seem more worthwhile, before revealing just how disgusting it was at the core.

Sybil's problem is a matter of Monsters, men and Saints. It realizes the men that it rules would destroy them if the men discovered that Sybil was really a monster. Sybil clearly needs to replace their men with something else. Obviously you can't replace them with monsters. Monsters might tolerate the existence of other monsters, but they won't submit to their authority. So that only leaves them with saints.
Unfortunately for Sybil, it doesn't understand that under the right conditions, saints kill monsters to.
