Just finished the first episode and I'm not convinced yet. Important to know though: Stay until after the outro, there's more! Might be a preview, but it didn't feel like it.Stil, this first episode seemed like they wanted to show us all the little details without actually ever giving a context to see them in. I only got hooked at around the last five minutes of the episode. One hour in, and we barely know anything about the actual story, about what happend or about the characters. It's hard to put into words, but I think I'm still looking for the reason why I should watch this. I hope the next episode will have a bit more...substance to it. With only 10 episodes, I'm not sure they can afford the current very slow pace much longer. Also, of course they had to employ two tropes I'm not very fond of and I hope they resolve these well. Generally, everything seems to fit so far, the storytelling matches the characters as well as the story they are trying to tell and the atmosphere they are trying to create, so I think this has the potential to be a high-quality show. I'm just not sure if it's my kind of quality yet. The take on bad luck as well as people's perception of it certainly might hold some interesting perspectives.
