This review is based on the first two episodes only.
Pretty disappointing. I can see that it's probably going somewhere, but these two episodes were not themselves very interesting or enjoyable television.
They were decidedly boring and full of filler content that doesn't move the story at all. I get the feeling the writers were going for a slow build up, but it was far too slow.
I have no nostalgia for the (50s?) era of American television and it feels like they were heavily relying on that as the stories for both episodes felt like something directly out of that era. (A dinner party and a magic show).
Hopefully the larger story that they are telling is interesting, but they largely wasted two entire episodes on corny jokes and a parody of other shows that weren't good to start with. Perhaps Americans will have more nostalgia for this era and that will be enough for them, but for me I could care less. It was exactly as interesting as watching an I love lucy rerun or gilligans island or something equally as trash.
I kept waiting for something interesting or meaningful to happen but it never did. At the end I was left with a feeling of largely wasted time, although I find myself wanting to watch more episodes to see if it improves I feel like they could have condensed both these episodes into probably a quarter of the time and got on with whatever the actual story is.
Just my two cents. Somehow this has 94% on rotten tomatoes which baffles me, but I was expecting something much better than this.
