I thought it was pretty good and I think it’s watchable without seeing the first series. The very beginning and very end won’t necessarily be as satisfying to you but the middle mostly does its own thing.
The middle was filmed first by a different show runner (eps 2 to 6) and when it was reviewed, something wasn’t sitting right so they brought on one of the original show runners.
To make it feel more like the original series, they made the 1st episode setting it all up, and then added the last 3 episodes. Then they had to refilm parts of the middle to accommodate some changes.
