The first few episodes were good. Then, it got very dull, repetitive and predictable. Slow, boring and so stuffed with filler. It would have been better as a 10, maybe 12 episode show.
This is basically a modern retelling of the Count of Monte Cristo, with a few twists.
Also, Soo Ah deserved so much better.
If you want/like neuroatypical characters It's Okay Not to be Okay is a much better choice. If you like evil villains who can hold a grudge, Crash Landing on You is awesome. If you enjoy good romance CLoY, While you Were Sleeping and period drama Love in the Moonlight/Moonlight Drawn by Clouds are infinitely superior and all have great chemistry between the leads. If you love Park Seo Jun, I'd recommend What's Wrong with Secretary Kim a cute romantic comedy.

@jakeukalane Agreed. That's why I only mentioned both shows having neuroatypical characters (haven't come across that many in k-dramas, at least not as many as characters with face blindness lol).
If you like fantasy, also definitely check out Doom at Your Service. And Jirisan is another great show (little to no romance on that one)
Like a man at a feminist parade, it tries hard but is more self-serving than it realizes.
Historically, movies were often centered around white males who were banal and self obsessed. Well, in these modern times, women now have their turn in this spotlight.
Julie is a 29 - 30 year old woman in Norway who can't make decisions and to whom nothing exciting ever happens, except resembling a lot of other heroines in a lot of other movies. Or maybe I'm just too old and have experienced all of these things in my life, repeatedly, and so don't need to see them reiterated back to me by a narcissistic stranger.

@saint-pauly Well we certainly know that Saint Pauly wants us to know how progressive they are.
Another very boring chapter. And now they sum up three... Also, I dislike the new style of drawing. Eren. Reiner, Bertholt, Annie didn't even look like themselves.

@jakeukalane try a month of separation between each chapters sometimes even two... Looking back, I wasn't found of new characters and old "bad" ones either. And couldn't wait for our main characters to comeback.
It's quit harsh change of perspective, but it's needed for later. And you could always catch up or move ahead of the anime. They skipped some interesting parts of the lore.
Of course it's depends on what you like seeing in AoT. The rest of the story and it's ending maybe not up to your alley.
Hell, it's feels like Snk before and after basement reveal is two completely different stories, sometimes.

@jakeukalane Ehh it's fine you don't like this one, and about Marley? yeah maybe because they show up a bit late to the show is the reason why you don't care about them, and that's okay. Most of the non-manga readers are also confused as well when the first episode airs they were like "Who the hell are these Marley people, where's the main character and his squad?". Maybe this kinda semi-flashback episode is not your cup of tea y'know, everyone has a different taste. Personally I'm cool with it, i get to see how the Marley's protagonist (Reiner) get where he is today. Oh and the character design, it's supposed to look like that, it's a 4 year timeskip after the final of S3 (now year 854), that's why most of the character will slightly change in terms of design, you can read the manga (Highly recommend it, if you don't mind the spoilers) if you don't believe me.
