I’ve watched the first three episodes. So far, I’m impressed. Unsurprisingly, the production values are top notch. The show looks outstanding. I think the writing is pretty great too, better than the previews suggested. I think they handle the “Fantasy Island” aspect in a way that is very fun. And the philosophical/techno-psycho-AI/behind-the-scenes stuff is done well too. They avoid over-explaining and they include some very interesting ideas without insulting anyone’s intelligence or giving easy answers.
Big thumbs up from me. I really enjoy it. The scope of the whole thing is so huge that I think it will be challenging to keep it compelling for multiple seasons. But for now, I think It’s great.
