    Hidden Gem
    This is only after watching episode one.

    I am only casually skimming through this one, but I have to say that the pacing and content appear to be better than anything else I have seen. If you have seen disappointment after disappointment in recent TV shows, this one might be the thing you are looking for.

    Production Quality is excellent.

    Writing appears to be excellent, but I am holding judgement for later.

    Performance is near perfect.

    If the later episodes are comparable, this is easily a 10/10.
