As noted above, I haven't had the chance to see this yet. The scenario sounds intriguing, although the previews and trailers I have seen give me a feeling of "Land of the Lost," updated and upscaled for a more sophisticated, 2021 audience.
I often rely on the ratings and reviews on IMDB to determine if I should even bother watching a movie or TV show, but one thing I have noticed that is prominent here as elsewhere, and that is that the overall rating of the series (5.2 as I type this) is significantly lower than the rating of the individual episodes (6.4, 6.6, 6.8, and 7.5(!), respectively, for the first four).
I have yet to find an explanation for this occurrence, and wonder what IMDB is doing to get it. Don't you?

First of all, I have a question: Could someone tell me why this show has a rating of 5.8, while the individual episodes are rated from 6.8 to 8.1 (the season finale), with most over 7.2? I notice this a lot with series. Something is very wrong with IMDB's ratings. I suspect that the overall series is generated by the first or first couple of episodes (the pilot was 6.8, the lowest of any individual episode), with possible input later from those who bother to rate the series as a whole separately from the individual episodes, as I am doing here. Other than a fix, there is no explanation I can think of. If all the single shows are so good, the show as a whole should be rated higher; the whole can't really be less than the sum of its parts, can it?
Unfortunately, with close to 500 scripted shows on television at any moment for the past couple of years, this one is just about average at best. It's no "Without a Trace," or even "Unforgettable" (never saw "Glory Days" or "Relativity"). This is basically the old show "It Takes a Thief," with a female instead of male protagonist, and a lot less panache, combined with a few clichés: the hero(ine) protects a relative innocent, who is mostly unappreciative of any aid, persuades others to provide aid based on past trespasses or other type of indebtedness, etc.
I look forward to Ms. Montgomery's next venture and hope it is more deserving of her talents.
