Not OP, but I wanted to like it only I couldn't bring myself to keep watching. I can't remember if I stopped before the end of the first episode or part way through the 2nd. I completely failed to connect with any of the characters, the setting, the premise or the politics.

I don't mind fiction that's a vehicle for political statements - I like Alan Moore - but it felt like a transparent vehicle for needlessly edgy politics, rather than a beautiful vehicle for needfully radical politics like Alan Moore's stuff is.

But I barely watched it so I know this is a pretty hot take.

It's one of the best single season shows ever done.

It's also mostly Damien Lindelofs work, not Moore's (for the show).

Fair enough. I enjoyed it but there's so much good television out there these days that there's not much point forcing your way through something you're not enjoying.
