That’s how I felt at first, unsure if I wanted to keep watching after the first 15 minutes, but by the end of Episode 1 am “all in” with the series.
To be fair, as the viewer, you’re thrown in head-first to understand what is currently happening (explosion of the reactor core) vs. the conspiracy to cover-up and pretend it was a simple roof fire. And part of that experience is to place the event within the Soviet mindset. Also, while the dialogue can be subtle at times, it is the little remarks (or expressions of the characters) that you really do need to pay close attention to so that you don’t miss something.
My advice: give Episode 1 another shot to the end; I think it’s worth the time investment. My wife wanted no part of the show (she thought it would be boring); however, she ended up really liking it as well.
