The first three episodes were good. They set up the major story arc and got me interested in the characters. But with episode 4, things became cartoonish. It wasn't unwatchable, just not very good. The final episode featured a deus ex machina for one of the characters that really bugged me to see (no spoilers, watch for yourself and get disappointed). The ending seemed more of a set up to a second season than a firm resolution.
Rhys Nicholson is horribly miscast in this series. Seriously, ANY other actor on earth would have done a better job in the role. Inaki Godoy had all the acting chops of a high school student reading his lines from a script, and mumbled his way through too many scenes. The rest of the cast were okay, given the material they had to work with.
Some of the plot elements were resolved a little too quickly and with little explanation. Others could have been resolved with just a sentence or two from one of the characters, but got blown into crises.
In all, it was decent but not memorable. Typical Netflix fare these days, unfortunately. If they make a second season of this, I doubt I'll watch it.
