Everywhere I look the audience reaction seems to have been bad. And with what my friends said, I'm starting to think that it might not just be review bombing but maybe the audience just didn't like it. Remind me of the whole Ghostbusters shit all over again.

Of course it's my friends' comments that weigh the most to me, not audience scores and such. I was just talking about that to show that it doesn't seem to be at all some outlier opinion.

You know how at the start of a thriller movie you might see some events transpire and you're interested

But it didn't interest them and they felt it was dogshit. So it failed to get that interest. That's sorta the whole issue. Starting out slow is one thing but being shit and uninteresting because of that from the get-go is something else.

Imagine watching the first 30 minutes of like, Memento, or something, and complaining that the movie is bad because it doesn't make sense.

Memento was very interesting and great from the start. This doesn't seem to have achieved that. It's nice that you're willing to give this show so much benefit of the doubt so to say, but for most, if it starts as garbage then I totally understand if they expect the same from the rest and drop it. For me, if all my friends say it's shit and not worth my time, then it does sound like there's a high chance I won't like it and that's why I won't be checking it out.
