After E1: this is entertaining but it's not good, the pilot is far too structured around withholding and the male lead's psychology doesn't make a lot of sense.

Anyway the thing I really didn't like about the pilot, beyond all the unnecessary withholding, was how male Smith, after unknowingly delivering a bomb to a residential home that killed nine people (presumably some of whom were the caterers being yelled at when they walked in), with no idea for whom or for what reason he carried out this assassination, lies down on female Smith's bed and is like, "I kinda feel bad for being a drone pilot."

That's neat. It was a poorly written scene.

Seems Trag was right and this will go the anthology route.

Same. It was their chemistry that really held it together.

I have a NYC geography question for epilogue once he’s seen the pilot.
Shoot!

Is the question why is the NYC geography so unbearably terrible and nonsensical in the pilot?
