This has been wildly overhyped — it’s good but not great (not even very good). And even after choosing to suspend disbelief so you can accept the overall premise of the series, there are way too many implausibilities (such as insanely insufficient security in a crucial scene). The writers think they’re more clever than they are, and that self-congratulatory sheen permeates the series — and makes it far less satisfying to watch, because complexity has been sacrificed (or the writers just weren’t capable of it).

I’m not sorry to have watched it, but I wish my expectations had been appropriate. Lower yours and you’ll probably like it — I’d give it about 6.3 out of 10.
