This show jumps between two different years, 2032 (small town USA) and 2099 (London, England). In the former we are treated to endearing connections between family, friends and a band of brothers. In the latter we are treated to a visual feast, of world building, scene-chewing acting (in the best sense), and the opulent environs of the 3 main power brokers (I want that china set!).
I binged this show through to the end finding the whole thing very watchable. I don't know why so many people seem to have lost interest, I can only guess they were hoping for more than one instance of military-style action. I will say the final episode felt rushed, muting the emotional impact of some scenes. It clearly set the stage for a second season, that was initially green-lit but has since been canned, a casualty of the writer's strike presumably. Too bad.
The cast was excellent for the most part. The story wasn't perfect. There are things I could quible about but the main thing is I enjoyed the show quite a bit.
