Agreed 100%, Vranir! I like the overall trajectory of the show, but it’s slower than any TV show should ideally be. I’m not sure that the “movie-length stories split up into 3 chunks” plot structure is really a good idea.

Honestly, the easiest editing concept that could potentially fix that is just combining the 3-episode stories into actual movies, with 4 movies total for the first season. None of the atmosphere and slow-burn character building cut out, just reformatting it into a more rewarding format.
