Thats exactly how I feel about it. I'll be putting off passing judgement until at least a second view because initial reaction has been somewhat mixed, but mostly good.
I'm thinking the reason it may be mixed is because the format of the new episodes took some getting used to. I have been enjoying the season as a whole more and more as it has progressed.
I think the format (with each episode mainly focusing on one character at a time) has its good points and bad points. I don't understand why some characters have more than one episode while others feel neglected. I don't understand why a couple of episodes don't seem to adopt the format at all, leaving the season feeling a little disjointed. I do however think that it has allowed each characters story, and all the other arcs throughout, to overlap and intertwine very well and I think it's brilliantly written in many ways.
It's a mixed bag. I'm hoping that I can watch it for a second time and, obviously not being surprised by anything, appreciate it even more and realise that all the little negatives aren't really negatives after all.
