I just started watching but I the writing and world building seemed a little underwhelming to how good its rep was, if I didnt like the first few episodes should I keep watching or just not my taste?

    It reminds me a bit of Fallout, but more if you were one of the NPCs in the vault discovering things the hard way rather than as the MC walking into the situation after all the damage was done with a lot of outside knowledge. It does a lot of simmering, big reveal, repeat.

    Season 3 is half in the past, and that's when things start to make sense on a big scale. I thought that made it fun overall. It feels a bit like a post apocalypse mystery rather than a typical action oriented story.

    I was into it with Rashida Jones too. Good shows are often good because they have a slow burn. It's not much of an arch without it. And it makes the peak more climactic, IMO. It was a surprising death out of the gate. It reminded me of Ned Stark. Rebecca Ferguson makes a great tomboy take-no-shit rosey the riveter type. Sometimes I feel like I can hear her accent underneath the dialogue, but the emotional acting is definitely there.

    I went back and read some episode recaps looking to tell you which episode it really kicks in to gear. That number I think may be a bit discouraging if I put it that way, but instead I'll say that dang near everything that happens is a clue and the more you pay attention to those slow bits, the better the payoffs should be for you when things click into place.

    Ep 4 isn't at its full excitement level, but by then you should be eager to start learning what is going on with some of the storylines, or if not then it may be too slow of a show for you, but everything does pay off IMO.
