A couple of days ago I have posted about how this show is not worth your time, based on two of three total episodes.
Maybe the first two were written by a woman and the last by a man, but instead of a lot of boring talk by a lot of boring characters you get a lot of action in ep3. While it is still TV-show quality, some of it is pretty good.
If we got just ten minutes of what is most of ep3 in the previous two, with less talk and less angry ugly strong women the show could have been quite good.
That's still terrible writing, for ANY intro to media, the writing needs to hook you in on something even (or especially) if it's a misdirection (In anime examples I'd give is Oshi no Ko or ReZero while regular shows I'd go with The Expanse making you think it was just about Earth vs Mars with belters in the middle)
Most people have a 1 episode rule so if you have a shit intro that kills a large portion of your potential audience, it's why Firefly fans hate Fox because them playing it out of sequence ruined it gaining popularity.
If I don't give a shit about any of the new characters, that is terrible writing, agreed. They could have cut down the number of them by half, and flesh out the remaining ones to be actually interesting.
