I wonder if having all the episodes available to binge would have been better for this type of show. I get the first few were mainly setup, and they may or may not work for some depending on their age or how much old or vintage TV they have seen. And I get that people's patience is a lot different now than in the past, so a slow burn and reveal set in past TV tropes may be a hard ask for some. But I think when we get through the entire series it will be something to look back on and really get it.
