In the beginning, when it started, it was promising, I guess, perhaps that was because it was a new show, who knows. Then, it started becoming, I don't know, a proclivity of watching each episode when they air as you've already started watching it, so you're obligated, in a sense, to keep watching. Except by that point, you're just doing it as a habit. There were some exciting moments throughout, but it mostly felt like a bunch of filler that was, in reality, the plot, it just wasn't as engaging, anymore. I know that can be chalked-off to being the first season, things have to be established, characters introduced, an atmosphere and feel about it all has to be set, yadda yadda yadda, all while establishing the plot, and keeping the show engaging, the intrigue intact, the interest flowing, simultaneously. While I enjoyed it, every episode, perhaps in a lesser sense, I came to realize that I was just watching each new episode as a habit, and my interest had faded...I don't know when. Of course, I'd watch a second season if there will be one. I guess that, too, is a habit. If anything, I hope it'll be more engaging from the start, now that the establishment phase is over and done with, and most of all, I hope that feeling of engagement remains throughout its entirety, not fading a few episodes in, as it did with the first season, for me.

It used to be a trope in television mysteries that the biggest name in the opening credits that wasn't in the main cast was the bad guy. So you already kind of knew who did it without even watching more than the first 30 seconds.

They were still watchable because there wasn't always a special guest star.

This doesn't follow that trope. It follows the new one where you know who the antagonist is based on race, gender, and sexuality. it takes a little while longer, but still, from the first episode you know exactly who the bad guys are going to be, and how vapidly they are going to be written because of those three factors.

And then it goes a little bit further and does the trope where all the other races, genders, and sexuality are written in a positive, albeit extremely stereotyped why that focuses their entire character around what they are and not who they are.

So, you know, it's one of those.
