Didn't see a post about this series. Started it due to the virus keeping me at home.

Solid, but predictable story.

Acting is Excellent! It took me two episodes to realize one of the main characters was Gus from Breaking Bad. (He totally does a 180 on character here)

Worth a watch.

I tried to watch this but only made it about 4 episodes before the constant screeching of "the white man been oppressin' us!" was too much to take.

The cliches are too much for current year series.

Also whatever attempts there are to complicate the plot more, end up coming off as filler. There's a lot of scenes I just feel like I'm wasting my time. It's not compelling.

Not quite Westworld Season 2 material as far as unwatchability, but you need to be a huge fan of the genre to stick with it.

Overall, I consider it a waste of a great cast.
