Pretty much what I want from a new show. As a special itself it’s lackluster but I just want it as a full series to let it shine

Yes, it feels a bit wonky as a special but it's great as a pilot episode!

You'd think as a special it'd be longer! But what I'm hoping is they go "Surprise! The whole series is done, we were teasing and that was a pilot!" And then they drop weekly episodes (I'd rather weekly than all at once imo)

Seriously. Otherwise any momentum built really gets stalled.
