Welcome to the world of online streaming and their hard-working marketing departments. Netflix analyze programs as you watch them and see when audiences give up, then, when they notice everyone stopped at episode 2, they write a ton of reviews saying "Glad I watched past Episode 3!" just to try and hook those who would have given up.

It's not great. If you're not enjoying it, give up. Almost any show starts to seem okay to you after three episodes because enough has happened to make you at least accept the characters as real even if you don't like them. And that's what hooks you. It's not a reason to watch four hours of a program you're not enjoying. It doesn't mean it's good just because you just want answers to the questions it keeps asking without answering. And no, the ending is not amazing.

The series itself is competently made. It's very 'New York', and for people who never question their life or their decisions it might be a refreshing perspective. But if you're not loving it at the start, there's very little that's going to change except familiarity. This is no classic. People will not be talking about this show in two years let alone ten. The state of streaming television is getting so bad that if anything different comes up it's immediately hailed amazing.

Netflix are a powerhouse in the online world and are starting to master everything - like pumping out fake reviews, mobilizing social media, getting low level critics to post their media releases as their own. The one thing they still lack is the ability to produce anything that's really worthy of all the hype they manage to generate about the shows they stream.
