Episode 1, already compelling.

Have you read the books? My wife did and explained the expanded story (not gonna spoil anything). Curious how close they will stick with the source material. Excited either way.

Episode 2,

Mm. OK, it's entertaining enough, but people have to be pretty stupid to believe such a flimsy story of "new tape." Tp4 finds it implausible that a mob like that could be dispersed with that much.
But maybe education just got super bad, and as peasants, but hrrm.. even then.
Overall, not a great direction. We'll see how they make this fit, but whichever way it goes, this segment is horrible writing.
I don't like their machine shop scene, it's way too primitive to maintain the rigs they got. To build+replace large ball bearings alone for example, there's no way a dingy machine shop can do that. They need quite alot of tech infrastructure.

Episode 3:
It's moving in a direction that's interesting at least, despite the weak plot in the 2nd episode.

Solo, hahaha, he's basically Tp4, personality wise. 100% identify.
What is difficult for the writers is, the mob/peasants have to be both dumber and smarter depending on the situation. This aspect of the plot is not well implemented. If they just worked on legitimate bottlenecks to the economy, they could solve this without having to suddenly turn the peasant's intelligence up and down to shoehorn improbable behaviors.
