Wait.

The beginning of the seasons are… so painful, truly unwatchable. There’s smelling your own farts, and then there’s whatever the hell this is, like GoT S8 kind of stuff.

But then something crazy happens around ep 4-5 and they turn absolutely on a dime to become actually pretty interesting.

2x08 was the best of the show, kind of by far. It’s still a bit in the hole, but it has 2 more episodes to redeem the season.

Basically don’t watch this show unless you’re binging, it’s cruel otherwise.

I personally dropped it, since it suffers from committee-approved writing: there must be random action scenes, love interests and personal stories of exceptionalism. If you don’t mind the plot sometimes taking second place in favor of illogical standard Hollywood fare, it’s well shot, with okay acting, and an overall nice aesthetic.

You’ve just described literally every piece of genre television made since the beginning of the medium.

Eh, I’d say that this one is fairly blatant about it. You can tick boxes without sacrificing plot coherence and world building.

I agree with you somewhat, but I’ll just say in my opinion, it wasn’t as disruptive to my watching.

I’d say so. I have more faith in Apple keeping this show alive longer than Amazon or Netflix would have.

I think we’re up to 5 or so different plot lines occurring at any given time per episode, so chances are you’d be interested in at least something going on.

Yes.

I was afraid it would be a mid range sci fi but it’s turned out to be fantastic.
