The main critique (aside from autists who thought it was "ugly) was that they crammed a lot of info into the pilot. In those regards, I agree - there was a lot going on. I think that has a lot to do with lack of experience. Nick hasn't really done a show like this before - most of his previous work seems to be more atmospheric. Time while writing a script feels very different from time when actually watching as a viewer. When you see a blank page, it can feel like you need to fill it up with a bunch of stuff. If you study scripts, you'll notice that not a whole lot of dialog actually happens on each page and they tend to leave a lot of room for action, music, and visual cues to take over. GD felt super dense because A LOT of info was dumped on the viewer in quick succession, but I think that's something that can be evened out for future episodes. Hopefully the lesson was learned by the team while watching the finished episode (and reading some commentary).
