Absolutely great
Been waiting for this since Breaking Bad. Overal a really good first 2 episodes. The LBTQ community is already pissed off as the first and only ‘lesbian’ character dies in the first episode. Calling it ‘buried its gays’ (Techradar article). Meaning it does not really play into the woke thought.
All in all, the first 2 episodes, woke-free.

Good story. Lead role is lesbian.
I'm through episode 3. The lead role, Carol, was established to be lesbian in episode one. Her partner gets killed off within the first few minutes so Carol is by herself. There was a flashback in Episode 3 showing the two checking into a theme-hotel. There was no depiction of affection beyond the same kind of hug that sisters would share. This doesn't seem to be a LGBT... agenda, just an incidental thing. It still deserves a tick on the woke-meter. There may be more flashbacks, or even future relationships. Perhaps this aspect was just to check the box for the inclusion-Nazis.
The theme of this series is genuine sci-fi. The hive-mind concept is well presented. In short, everyone knows everything that humanity has ever experienced. Anyone can perform brain surgery, fly an airliner, or replace a broken axle on a truck. When you talk to anyone, you're talking to everyone. It sounds simple, but there's a lot to it. Rhea does a great job as the cynical Carol. She's kind of a one-dimensional character, but it fits. According to Vince Gilligan, the part was written with her in mind.
I'll make edits as the series progresses. Good sci-fi is rare. I'm hopeful with this one.
