Instead of the 2020 SciFi series, I started watching this show by mistake.
My initial reaction "OMG.. this really sucks, how did it get made, and more-so why such high ratings"?
After a bit more consideration, I can only guess that it's demographic specific. Maybe if I belonged to the target audience I would see the appeal?
It certainly wouldn't be the first BBC show that was very popular "at home" that couldn't generate any enthusiasm with U.S. audiences.
So, I've only awarded 5 stars but.... your viewing enjoyment may vary.
