Character development has kicked in in Ep 3
The hybrid children are becoming more distinct individuals. The show is also taking advantage of the humor of children in adult bodies, "Am I in trouble".
The Synths are coming alive too. The ships security officer reflects on his life in a way reminiscent of Rutger Hauer in Blade runner.
The "feel" (on occasion) is becoming more like "Alien" too. They even stole some scene elements from the first two movies.
It's getting good.
