I really enjoyed the aesthetic of it, I enjoyed the tone and even many of the major story elements but I found it so hard to track the story. It's unfortunate because the show had the great thematic elements (Mithraic vs atheist war -- mother as a godlike angel etc) and had amazing small details but lost itself somewhere in-between. Why was there a giant worm and why did everyone forget about the giant worm in Season 2 ? This might be a Ridley Scott problem, because, everything I said can also apply to Prometheus.

It's a Ridley Scott problem. Everything I've seen in the last several years that he's had a hand in (another example is Taboo) is visually amazing but confusing.

Yeah this is exactly what Ridley Scott has done for the past couple decades. It always feels like his stuff is supposed to be twice as long, and we're only getting half the story.
