It still was way more complex than most shows on TV. Plenty of characters with wildly differing goals and motivations, at least. It’s not like other Netflix shows which have at best 5 or so characters with the exact same motivation and goals, only difference is some characters are a bit sassy.
It’s still not an “easy” or “simple” show. While mass market US shows can be dumb, I think even Americans overstate the “dumb” Americans bit. There’s definitely plenty of room for intelligent, thoughtful shows.
Remember, Game of Thrones did well, and that’s not a simplified show during its peak.
While it certainly wasn’t a super straightforward show, they cut out a ton of the “complicated” stuff from the books.

Oh, for sure, I agree completely.
