Most of Season 1 is basically if somebody walked onto the set of The Right Stuff and replaced everybody’s scripts. It takes into Season 2 for it to really get sci-fi-ish at all, and it’s only S4 where we’re past “The Martian” in tech level. If you are intrigued and just want it to get a move on, yes, it’ll get “better,” but change happens incrementally, and a lot of the drama is earthbound or at least human scale, and some plotlines are better than others.
It’s not really a sci-fi show. It does take place entirely in an alternate reality though, and features newer technological advances, but those are often in the back seat to the drama that males the show so entertaining.
I couldn’t make it past episode 3. Too much talking/drama and not enough scifi. Should i keep going or will it be the same the whole time?

I’m with you. Once again it turns out that I want a documentary on this alternate history rather than a character drama
