It was the same when Orville came out. The critics had seen only the first two episodes, of which two are funny comedy and the third is proper Star Trek like making you think, and they wrote so awful reviews, saying the show didn't know what it wanted to be, and should decide for either humor or drama. While this is exactly what I love about! It even inspired me to finally do the Stargate rewatch I had planned for years. Same feeling.
Of course, once second season came around, they got a rate of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, which practically never happens! So, never trust the critics.
Everything you say about the studios is true. I haven't followed it too closely, but apparently it's not yet sure whether we will be able to book Paramount individually, or only as an added side package to Sky. In that case it would mean you would have to book the bigger service, just to get this one. That's crazy.
I'm pretty new to Netflix myself, for a long time I was not sure whether my internet connection and my old TV can do it. But when I read about streaming in the past years, I always thought it would be one big pool of things, one access, and then one evening you decide what you want to watch, and pay for this one thing. That way those that made it would get the money directly. Why is it not like that? Then you would have not to look which service had what. Just the whole media, all in one place. Forever!
