I think I'll start with the bad stuff first. I was really looking forward to this show for a while and then after months of waiting I finally got around to watching it and at first I was very disappointed. So I seem to be in the very minority in that I didn't mind Selena Gomez's character, her acting didn't blow me away but it was fine. Her character wasn't actively annoying like the other 2 main characters were. I get they are great actors and I used to love Steve Martin in his older movies when I was younger, but I think the characters themselves were just so unlikable, but that's just me.

But aside from that, it took me over a week to get through the first four episodes, they were just so boring and nothing happened and no meaningful progress in the plot happened aside from a few seemingly interesting cliffhangers. I almost decided to stop watching completely. A character later in the season actually referenced an earlier episode and it seems the writers were self aware of how pointless the first few episodes were: "A whole episode with no stakes." Except I would say it was multiple episodes.

But starting at episode 5, stuff actually starts happening and the pacing becomes much better. I won't spoil it but it starts getting some interesting reveals and the characters become slightly less full of themselves and more bearable. I don't typically like whodunit murder mysteries, but I think the differing personalities of the main trio and the intriguing premise ultimately paid off, even though it was incredibly slow to start, so I don't really blame people who quit a few episodes in.
