New regime at HBO isn't going to want to drop another 100 million on this show if it has even good but not great ratings. I feel like with most shows, HBO would have already announced a second season so this one's definitely getting a second and third look before they announce that.

And yeah, the reviewers might be onto something. I just think it's hard to judge a show after 4 eps, especially if you really liked two eps and then didn't like 2 eps. Who knows what the next 2 eps or the rest of the season could bring. Just strikes me as odd to say, "The show doesn't amount to anything." so early in a run.

Some of the critiques about a lack of logic in the plotting worry me more, given the people involved.
