I just started watching but I the writing and world building seemed a little underwhelming to how good its rep was, if I didnt like the first few episodes should I keep watching or just not my taste?

It reminds me a bit of Fallout, but more if you were one of the NPCs in the vault discovering things the hard way rather than as the MC walking into the situation after all the damage was done with a lot of outside knowledge. It does a lot of simmering, big reveal, repeat.

Season 3 is half in the past, and that's when things start to make sense on a big scale. I thought that made it fun overall. It feels a bit like a post apocalypse mystery rather than a typical action oriented story.

Im definitely looking for mystery, I suppose I just didnt like any character much yet but I'll keep watching

Juliett the blonde women I assume, thats till where I had watched. I'll definitely watch till the end of s01 see if I like it

I was into it with Rashida Jones too. Good shows are often good because they have a slow burn. It's not much of an arch without it. And it makes the peak more climactic, IMO. It was a surprising death out of the gate. It reminded me of Ned Stark. Rebecca Ferguson makes a great tomboy take-no-shit rosey the riveter type. Sometimes I feel like I can hear her accent underneath the dialogue, but the emotional acting is definitely there.
