Just wondering. The show seems to be in kind of an… odd state. I only watched the first episode, didn’t love it, none of my friends expressed positive feelings..

… but it’s got pretty good critical reviews, it’s getting a second season this year, and honestly it often “looks good” from promotional material.

Is it worth giving a second shot? Is anyone looking forward to the second season?

I like it 🤷‍♂️, and I'm looking forward to the second season. It's not based on any book but just the lore and ideas. I don't know if that's what all the hate is about or what. If you take it for what it is, I think you'll enjoy it. If you go in with expectations of a pure adaptation, you'll probably joylessly nitpick it to death (those are basically the two sides of all the reviews I've seen for it).

YMMV, I guess is the TLDR of it. lol
