That formula of sorta cool to meh is almost every prime original TV experience, for me, anyways.
Best one was Sneaky Pete, and even that one had its disappointments.
Patriot, Goliath, For ude, Bosch... all solid, but all mostly disappointing considering upside.
That said, I’m someone who argues this a lot, and have even levied it against The Night Of and Season 1 of True Detective where the first 5-6 episodes are incredible, by the close out doesn’t match the build up.
