OK, I’m going to say it. The rich kid looks like he’s played by a Rick Astley pulled from a time machine back to 1979.

Not nearly enough plot development for sure

This show has fallen into that too-common pattern of following a mostly-different cast every other week with some minor crossovers. That certainly doesn’t help with the pacing. Maybe it will all tie together in satisfying ways at the end of the season. I wonder if I’d feel differently about that if it wasn’t a weekly release.

Yes, I was trying to put my finger on why it felt slower than other weekly releases, and it is the focus on different parts of the global story each week. I did enjoy this week though.

Whereas I'm watching it (mostly) behind, so I'm able to just binge 3-4 episodes and it seems like it's been fine? I think it's probably a mistake for it to be a weekly release, though, but on the other hand a binge drop is turning out to be lousy for the numbers, I guess?
