JMS is in charge but I don’t trust it and will stick to my rule about modern TV. The original was fine but I’m sure there will be articles attacking it.
Superman and Lois was a pleasant surprise and I’d like to believe that CW is seeing the light but I’m not that naive.
I honestly think they have a blueprint of making a great first season. Stranger Things and Westworld come to mind
The problem with something new coming out that's good is, it attracts all the wrong people who don't give a damn about pushing their agenda on others.
Most great series had rather boring first seasons IMHO, e.g. pretty much all Stargate series.
