Honestly, the whole time I was watching the show, I got the feeling that it belongs to be aired on the SyFy channel.
I have heard that to really understand this series you need to read the book so maybe that's the reason the story just didn't seem rich, nor captivating (as I found myself distracted by everything around me and that happens when my attention is lost).
Although you can tell the production value was large, it just doesn't seem like it belongs on MAX, especially with their other huge hits.
Unfortunately, I think this goes in the category of recent shows like the Rings of Power (which I would argue is actually better).
