Everyone has their preferences and mine is linear storytelling. Occasionally a flashback to give context is acceptable but Station Eleven is hodgepodge that is like looking into someone's dream.
Any given episode is constantly jumping, not just between past and present, but inconsistently in the past. There is no clear timeline of the past, making it impossible to tell from scene to scene how the two are connected.
While the past can help shape / understand the character, too much time is given to it. I found myself no longer caring for the character as the backstory overtook the present.
You watch a show about survival in a post apocalyptic world but end up watching the struggles of life before it ever took place.
