Eden

As everyone else has said, the first episode is awful, but the show does get better after that. Unfortunately, what it never actually gets is anything close to good. None of the characters are worth caring about and there are so many extraneous plots that go absolutely nowhere and ultimately have no point. I spent the majority of the 8 episodes bored out of my mind and only stuck with it because so many users said it was worth it in the end. Sadly, it was not.

The first ep was a bit cringey, the characters seemed a bit forced and there was no chemistry between them, but every other episode after was much better and kept me hooked. Binged over 2 days, would recommend!

First episode is pretty bad. By 4th episode it finds its rhythm and is a quite interesting satisfying small town police mystery.

Btw- the story is nothing like the trailer suggests.

Loved it. You have to feel your way in AFTER the first 2 episodes it settles into a mystical, strange, hippie, slightly surreal vibe that drew me in slowly. Then it was addictive, and I had to know what happened. Thought vistas were beautiful thanks to great cinematography, great directing and acting. You could feel place.

Episode 1 was aweful and plenty of reviews here point out that it gets better further on but not by much. Dedicating each show to the perspective of an individual character worked well enough but that technique wasn't all that novel. If you still dislike the series after watching the Andy centered 3rd episode then I recommend you abandon it...as it more or less plateaus from there. I gave it a 6 but is probably a 6.5 but I can't justify rounding it up to a 7. I wouldn't purchase this series on its own but if your provider includes it in its lineup go ahead and take it for a test drive.
