Horrible
This is among Netflix's worst written shows. Too on the nose and all the narrative is dialogue driven. Netflix should make the writers take a class in screen writing.
shareHow many episodes have you watched?
I doubt you have watched them all.

The first hour was boring, contrived, and very poorly written. I didn't feel the need to waste five more. The adage goes "If you don't grab them in the first ten minutes you'll lose them forever."
shareThanks for clarifying.
I never heard that "adage". It sounds very millennial.
Even so I do not ascribe to it.
Having watched the entire show (to date) I can say that overall it is quite entertaining.
PS Here is an excerpt from a review I wrote:-
"I am pretty lazy here on IMDb and rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to do so given the utter trash that has been written thus far. Where do people get off writing a review of an entire show based upon 1 or 2 episodes?
The show is a slow burn. It takes a few episodes to set it up. It is best binge watched. I watched both seasons in less than 24 hours. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is not without its flaws but it did what a TV show is meant to do: entertain!
I have rated it a 9 but truth be told it really probably should be an 8 or an 8.5. The current sub-6 rating is totally unwarranted in my opinion."

It's a quote by Harry Cohn - far from being a 'millennial'.
I'm happy you liked it. Many didn't not. Not that that matters. Taste is subjective.

Most (if not all) of that "many" made up their minds after just one or two episodes and then proceed to can the entire show based on that. That is what I have a problem with. I could respect an opinion that the show was "horrible" from a person who had watched the first season at least. I would disagree with it but I could respect it.
It took a few episodes to set it up and could be regarded as a "slow burn". Season 2 was superior to season 1.
I like it when a show grabs me in the first episode but I usually reserve judgment for a few episodes, especially when it is sci-fi or sci-fi-ish as in my experience such shows do take a while to hit their straps.

My friend, you are more forgiving than I.
