I was hesitant at first but binged the first three episodes. Much better than I expected and looking forward to the rest of the series.

I was saying the exact same thing.
I watched the first episode and was honestly going to walk away (it wasn't bad, just didn't wow me), but the second episode kicked in and started so I decided to go ahead and watch it... and then I was hooked. :) Watched episode three a day or so ago and now I am looking forward to episode 4.
