Don't get me wrong, I like that they're trying something new with new characters and a new timeframe. But... they could have done MUCH better.
Let's start off with pacing, slow, boring, unengaging.
The story is predictable, they say things that are dead give-aways to what's actually happening when they should be much more subtle, they didn't have to specifically say she had a TWIN sister and go so hard on trying to make an excuse as to why it couldn't be her before deciding that it has to be her. And the scene where I truely gave up on the show was the one where she's walking through the streets and alleys to end up at the scene of the murder... or suicide? And I saw it coming from a mile away, I didn't get much further than her arriving, I may go back and finish that scene to confirm but I assume the one guy jumped on it and tried to accuse and blame her for it.
The dialogue is more stale and clunky than the prequels, and that is saying a lot because the prequels have a cult following.
The special effects are nothing new or fancy really, don't get me wrong, they're not bad special effects. It's just that some positive reviews seem to be trying to defend the series by saying that the effects are so great, make it almost sound revolutionary. Not really, it's a show run by disney the special effects are going to be good in most things, and if they aren't particularly good, it is because those special effects are new and they're experimenting with new techniques that need more fine tuning.
