I didn't mind the jumping around as much. Been reading a lot of mystery thriller novels lately that make use of telling the story out of order, usually from two or three character's perspective. So, this wasn't as jarring. Would be easier to just tell the story in linear fashion, however.
I do suspect I'll lose interest in it as the season progresses. I think it will become another Planet of the Apes story.
I think if anyone missed the shows to date, better catch up by watching the shows online before jumping in the middle of the story. Would really be difficult to follow jumping in the middle now.
