I agree with you. I also see why NBC cut it from the Fall schedule and pushed it all the way to summer.
Plus they are already breaking their own world building rules. This week we’re told that Mara couldn’t know about this week’s character’s Reverie because of confidentiality. If that’s the case then how come they could tell her about the guy’s reverie, from the pilot, before she entered it?
@jbaby_9783 I'm going to blame the pilot just being a pilot. They could have changed some of the world's rules after shooting the pilot but before getting a full series order and not gone back and done the necessary reshoots. (If they start messing with the world's rules more in following episodes, and contradict this new information from episode 2, that stops being an excuse)

This week’s episode was better than the pilot, but that’s not saying much. I think the problem is that the person-of-the-week thing doesn’t fit well into a 43 minute show. This is especially since the shows format requires that the persons life be revealed slowly throughout the running time. There’s just not enough time for the audience to find anything to latch onto with the features character of the week.
This episode did start off with a fun vibe and then decended into a darker vibe. Which is unfortunate because I liked the first part of this episode.
I will give it a couple of more episodes because of Shahi. But, it’s not looking great at this point.
