Dude, I just finished watching the first 2 episode, yes there's been overlaps, as you mentioned in the creative design of the movie. But over all the movie is well produces the cinematography has great quality, and yes agree there's some cringe part (or awkward scenes) but overall I'm also excited how the series goes.
Btw, excellent details on the series evaluation! It was a fun read...
