The story is good, and from what I gather from other reviews, this is because it's based on a book series which many seem to find upper-tier enjoyable.
I gave this 7 stars more for the story than for the actual production, direction and acting. My main complaint is with the directing. There are quite a lot of scenes that could have been way better. Some of this is caused by weak/silly dialogue, and some is caused by plain overall poor direction.
If whoever was in charge had hired Nick Gomez, the director of Sundance's Hap and Leonard series, it would have been a much better fit in my opinion. Right now it just seems like a lot of wasted potential. Hopefully someone will smarten up and hire a better director and possibly different producers for more seasons. Given the state of TV and movies these days, it's doubtful though.
Still overall worth a watch in my opinion.
