I’ve not watched it yet so can’t comment on the show directly but I just wanted to add a thought.
How many fondly regarded series, especially genre shows, took a while to get properly get going? Star Trek DS9 contains some of the finest Trek ever made but the first two seasons were just terrible, it was abject garbage until the Dominion turned up fresh out of bubble-gum and Cisco put his hair on upside down. Early Next Gen doesn’t fare much better. The first season of Buffy is relatively weak compared to later episodes (but was still better than pretty much anything else that was airing at the time so, eh). Babylon 5 was, generously, a slow burn.
Every first season of New Who following a regeneration has been comparatively poor, presumably because they’re writing for an actor they’ve not yet seen in action; Matt Smith’s initial run was clearly Tennant’s scripts with 10 Tipp-Exed out and 11 scrawled over the top, Eyebrows and the Doctoress were also badly short-changed. IMHO, YMMV, IANAD (Jim).
When did we become so impatient? Are we just spoiled for choice now so can afford to be more selective whereas back when the ink was still wet on TNG we either had to watch that or Emmerdale Farm?
And is that a good thing to encourage quality control, or are we losing some potentially amazing shows? I don’t know, but for a good few years now I’ve been loathe to invest in a new show until it’s run for a couple of seasons just in case the studio “does a Firefly” and shitcans it whilst I’m in the middle of watching it.
