As one reviewer put it well - "Good but not great"
I'm sure the book series is amazing, I never read it so I am basing the show solely on the viewpoint of someone coming at it from never reading the books.
Some areas feel rushed, as if they needed to push some narratives to get things moving. Not sure why because this type of show I think needed to be developed.
I absolutely can't stand Auggie's character. Her character is the epitome of today's generation. Selfish, instant gratification, doesn't care about the future, not forward thinking at all, doesn't care about the big picture, etc. She literally brings the quality of the show down.
Some things don't make sense though. If the Sophon's are so omnipresent I don't understand how humanity is allowed to do things. But, it's something I can look aside at for the show's sake.
One thing I will say after watching season one - If by the end of season 2 it's shown humanity keeps losing the small "battles" I won't watch anymore. I'm sick of watching shows where the bad guys are always winning. That seems to be the trend these days. Sorry, I see enough bad stuff in reality. I turn to shows for non-reality, fantasy, good stuff feelings.
