I'm really enjoying the show, and perhaps the best thing about it is that while there are mysteries and twists, the show does not seem built around them. Unlike Lost, Westworld, or even Star Trek Discovery, it does not seem like everything in the plot is designed to lead up to the next shocking twist without much meat in-between. Sure, there are mysteries to discover, and lots of elements of the worlds they are living in are parceled out slowly, but the character stuff seems more important than anything else. A welcome change from many TV shows these days.

A very minor issue: in the first episode, we saw the convoluted and complicated system they have in place to exchange information between the worlds, using complex codes, Orwellian security systems, and multiple layers of people to keep the information isolated. However, in later episodes it seems people travel between the worlds fairly frequently. There are line-ups of people crossing over, they have embassies in each other's reality, and they meet their counterparts (!) over lunch to talk about trade deals. I'm not saying it's a plot hole or anything, the two things are not mutually exclusive, it just makes the convoluted security procedures from episode one seem a bit much.
