Since the embargo came off early Monday, many reviews are out based on the first six episode screeners.
Many are unequivocally positive to hyper enthusiastic. Some have a few quibbles in otherwise positive reviews.
In the absence of a dedicated SNW subgroup (yet…), I thought I’d drop some links to the reviews so far to get the conversation going.
Additional links can be added in comments.

I can’t trust most reviews after Picard. It’s a symptom of the larger problem with reviews these days that I just don’t trust most names anymore.
I generally tend to less rely on reviewer’s ultimate judgement on something, but instead go more on more of what they liked and disliked, and what they thought of certain elements. Some things that don’t bother them might bother me, and vice versa. It’s also why I tend to like game review sites that have abandoned putting a number value after their reviews.
