Interesting fact: the show was relased Setp-1. Both iMDB average and median haven't changed between Sept 5th, 4 days after the first episode was released, and Sept 25th, 3 weeks later.

Please use an integer score so I can assign it to the graph. Somebody gave a 6.5. I rounded it up to 7 in the graph, but I'm not sure if he/she would have rounded it up or down.

I give this a 5. I've seen the 1st two episodes and I fell asleep midway thru both of them. Didn't hold my attention.

3/10. Nice visuals, seemed to have nice production value, but since it was boring and I stopped watching after maybe 20 mins, thats as high as I can go,

Didn’t hold my attention either despite the spectacular visuals.

A show should hook you from the very first episode. Some of the best examples of this for me are Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Lost, Westworld, The Mandalorian and The Boys. Regardless of where these shows ended up they had incredible first episodes.

This was a weak premiere, this wasn’t even as good as The Witcher’s first episode or House of the Dragon’s first episode. If you’re spending all this money on a show then you’ve got to make sure the writing is fantastic and it just wasn’t in these first two episodes, it felt like fan fiction.

4/10 start to a show, it could get better but it’s not a show I’m going to watch on a weekly basis. Going to wait now for a couple of seasons to come out and see if it’s worth a binge.
