This show so far has been an unbalanced mess. It doesn't know what it wants to be and it is all over the place. The wokee-woke undertones, which seem to come to the forefront more and more often, surely don't help matters. The show is trying to be epic, but oftentimes it falters in that. The two separate timelines while interesting as a storytelling concept, fail in the execution and end up being a drag.
With the exception of Wyatt and Kurt Russell, the rest of the cast ranges from mediocre to awful. Especially Kiersey Clemons as May (whose character is entirely superfluous and completely useless in the series), Anna Sawai as Cate Randa and Ren Watabe as Kentaro Randa, are just awful (the actors and the characters), boring, annoying and just complete turn-offs. The special effects as well are soo uneven, they range from good to just really amateurish and unpolished looking.
Somewhere underneath this mess lurks a show that might have been decent and interesting or (gasp) even good, but it is buried under soo much garbage that it ends up being dragged down to the lowest level. I don't think that there's too much hope for this series to redeem itself. Lets remember that this is Apple TV Plus after all! Personally, I don't care enough to stick around and find out...
