I have seen two episodes and and debating whether to go back for the psychic horse. It has a lot of my unfavourite things. For such a monumentally expensive enterprise, it really seems to have fallen down on the cheap stuff: decent dialect coaching, someone in the writing room with a stable sense of idiom and register, if not a Bechdel test monitor exactly, someone who could point out that "only one woman in the village/fabulous underground mine complex/ethereal city-state has the use of her tongue" looks ridiculous, and undoes all your other tentative moves towards casting diversity.
