I caught a few episodes, didn't think it was particularly good.

Bummer. It didn't take after the book or just wasn't well crafted / compelling?

Both, it is only loosely based on the book and I just couldn't get into it. I love the idea of it, the execution not so much.

It was like the vast majority of streaming TV shows. The first couple of episodes were great and then quality tanks and it turns into a soap opera.

They generally get a good director in to do the first two to set the look and feel of the show then they get the cheaper ones in to do the rest and those guys are suppose to follow the example which the first director has set. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

Same thing with the writing.

[How did I not hear of this before?]

Perhaps you rightly avoid anything to do with 'talmudvision'?

A heroin addiction might be a better choice of vice.

My sister worked on this.

She left before shooting started because her HoD was a psychopath.

I'm also friends with some people who worked on the Welsh crew, all mad.

54 on Metacritic. User reviews are generally good, though if the reviewer makes it to the end of the season then the review is not good.

Peacock is kind of flightless.
