Production value is excellent.

And acting is great, obviously, since they paid top talent.

And the ideas are interesting.

But it also feels small. They keep focusing on random off-center issues, rather than the central ideas. The basic gist (what will future look like with climate change) has so much potential for great and big ideas, so its odd they focus on random side-issues.

The random side issues are the whole point. The show is designed to be an anthology showing how different individuals handle moral issues related to climate change. Episode two is a biologist having conversations with the last whale. Episode three is a rabbi’s spiritual crisis as his synagogue is literally and metaphorically sinking.

I agree with your assessment of what the show is.

That is why I don't like it. It just feels... small.
