You say rambling and disjointed, I said messy, yes all of that. And it took a while for me to finish, it did not draw me in episode to episode and I also thought about just giving up.

But the episodes were pretty short, 30 to 45 minutes. And as I said, at the end of it all, I saw a kind of overarching set of themes that made sense and actually seemed quite ingenious. Clearly, this would have been better if the individual stories were more compelling, but I personally kind of like the interlocking puzzle piece type of plot. And the various other Easter Eggs (Owen contains the letters for "one" Annie contains the letters for "nine", for example). Nerdy as it may seem, I'm a sucker for stuff like that.
