I'm watching - but only just! Both of the first two episodes have had moments that have almost had me switching off. The first episode was dreadful; the second less so, so I'm going to keep watching, in case it gets better.
The way that they're deliberately portraying her as incompetent is seriously annoying me. She's a relatively high-ranking officer! There's no way she's got there without being good at what she does - and without being professional, too. I don't want to put any spoilers in here, so I'll just say that her behaviour in the second episode seems incredibly unlikely.
And I agree about the 80s thing. They seem to be putting the period in the foreground, whereas, in LoM, it was just the backdrop - a lovely, detailed one if you cared to look, but this is in your face all the time.
