I haven't read the original series, so I'm coming into this with no specific expectations other than wanting the show to be good.
Five episodes in and it's not looking like this show is going to be particularly great. Sunk cost fallacy has set in and I might try a couple more episodes in case the show picks up steam late into the season, but I'd be surprised.
The effects and cinematography are pretty stunning, but I tend to care less about that than the writing which is nothing remarkable. The fifth episode had some cheesy choreography and an army of Stormtroopers who collectively couldn't hit a broad side of a barn.
The timelines aren't exceptionally confusing, but the story keeps jumping back and forth in time including flashbacks for no compelling reason. In some cases we are just expected to accept some kind of event like Gaal's back story only to get the long version later on with no emotional payoff.
