Watched the 1st episode. Two are available now. One a week after that.
An adaptation of the William Gibson novel. I've read many of his novels, but not this one. My guess is the series on Amazon isn't as good, detailed or satisfying as the book. However, not having known the book the 1st episode seemed pretty good. It at least kept my interest and has good possibilities. Same pair of show runners as Westworld (Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan). I hope it doesn't go off the rails the way season 3 of Westworld did.
They could have used some better vocal coaching as the various accents are not great. Not bad enough to draw me out of the story, but not great. The settings and general atmosphere are well done. 1st two episodes are over an hour long. So not dripping the story out like Disney does.
I won't say much about the specifics. Just that if you like William Gibson, this might be an entertaining series for you to have a look at on Amazon Videos. My initial impression is much better than the Rings of Power.
