There are some things about it that I don’t like, but overall it’s good. Unless it drags on or changes drastically I will watch the whole thing.
My minor criticisms are mostly the same as all other detective movies lately. Hyper-intelligent lead detective who is already 3 moves ahead, not so reluctantly called “The best detective in the world”. I find these characters boring for the same reason Superman is boring. Daniel Craig in Glass Onion gets around this by being charming and barely on screen compared to the interesting characters. Mandy Patinkin works alright so far by being adorable and arguably acting as sidekick to the female lead.
Then there are frequent flashbacks showing how the detective is actually even more moves ahead than you thought, and the setbacks were actually all part of his plan. Nothing too bad so far, but I’m sure we’ll eventually get a really long one near the end.
But the characters are good and the story is interesting so far. So I would recommend giving it a shot.

How does it compare against knives out ?
If you liked Knives Out I think you’ll like this show. Similar tone, but it feels like there’s a lot more unfolding here.
