While reading the reviews about this show my curiosity was immediately heightened up, as there was no apparent consensus between anyone. Some called it woke, some said it wasn't; some called it slow, some said it was not. So I decided to see it for myself and find out if I liked it or not. After watching all of the episodes I can safely confirm that this series is indeed very frustrating. Not because of the plot itself, as it is very interesting, but because it had just so much potential. As most things started getting clarified by episodes 6 and 7, I started thinking that if all the episodes were more tightly packed, faster and more thrilling, and if the details had been planned more carefully, this would have been such a fun show to watch! Maybe it could've been solved by cutting some of the scenes (like the repetitive kissing/sex and the ones that seem to have no point at all), correcting some of the continuity errors, making the dialog faster and writing parts of it better overall, while still keeping the good elements of the show that characterises this as a drama. It just saddens me that, while it could have been a great show without changing much of the main plot, we're stuck with bad writing and lose details. Best we can do now is appreciate the San Francisco views and hope that the second season fixes all of this, delivering something that will make me excited about watching. P. S.: It may indeed seem woke at the beginning but at the end you see it isn't really. That's another thing that could've been solved with better writing.
