So, the show is about a group of people that are outcasts amongst society and they have to survive while being segregated. You have two groups, humans vs subhumans and some people in the middle. It's a very basic plot, it doesn't mean it's bad but the show has to be smart about it and as far as the first episode goes, it is not. You have some subplots which sound more interesting than the main plot and I'll maybe watch a couple more episodes.
But the main problem of the TV-show is the approach it takes on the matter. We have seen that kind of plot and storytelling so many times already that I personally don't want to see it again. The more one watches movies and shows, the higher the expectations and in this day and age, I'm jaded by these simplistic takes on social issues. In my opinion the show comes too late, 20 years too late. Though I'm happy to see an Australian show with Aussie actors, it's too bad that it has to be in an average (mediocre?) show like this one.
Long story short, you shouldn't have high expectations when watching this. Let's hope it gets better even though the path on which it is now doesn't look that bright.
