I'm a die hard sci fi fan so the premises definitely have me hooked. But I feel like the pacing is a bit off. Not a fan of dumping the whole backstory at the audience so soon at episode 2. Also not a fan of doing a 1-year later time skip. Feel like if they slow down and expand a bit more on both of these events they could've been really good opportunities to show Jack's character growth and give audiences a chance to warm up to his character.

That said though, episode 3 here we go!

Yeah that time skip threw me off as well. Not crazy about the pacing so far...

Came here to say this as well, somewhat confusing. I'm at the end of ep3, without giving any spoilers does it get any better?

The time skips continue in full force. If it doesn't pass the 3 ep test for you, drop it.

It's like Gundam Seed meets Psycho Pass, and not in a good way.

Thanks, you're right. I'm on ep 10 now and I feel like I've gone too far now. I must push through 😢

I also ended up pushing through. You're barely halfway and I still say worth the drop 🙃

I'm at 11 and feel like pushing through. Mainly because I hate leaving shows half watched...
