This series has a tremendous pacing problem. It took its entire six episode run time to to get nowhere. It should have been eight episodes with the current six condensed into four.

    It’s rated at 7.4 / 10 by critics, it’s just that no one (out of 7) rated it Rotten

    I do agree, the pacing is very bad.

    Personally, I have to start giving-up earlier on those series where the first couple of episodes don’t go anywhere. But I always keep hoping it improves.

    Relax my dude, these ratings don’t really mean much. It’s effectively a large binary aggregation of more nuanced ratings. Also, TV in general gets much higher RT scores because the smaller shows don’t get a lot of coverage so you have (like this show) 12 reviewers who thought the show was at least fine, a 3/5 if you will, which when you look at the detailed rating aggregate, it got a 7.1/10

    This is why rotten tomatoes has the certified fresh indicator, meaning it met the minimum 50 reviewers and has a 60 or above average. 100% with certified. Then it’s actually a masterpiece. Anything else is too small a sample size.
