That is sage advice. I think I’ve been doing it wrong, this whole time.

I prefer to think of it as they made a bad show on purpose, and then tried to claim that the reasons why it’s bad are the reasons why it’s good actually.
Don’t get me wrong, the plot (what little of it I did see) was pretty good, and the acting was (mostly) pretty good, the set design and costuming and whatnot was pretty good. Very high production quality. The problems that you pointed out with the writing I 100% agree with, and relegate what could have been a great show to expensive background noise.
Dune Prophecy did the same thing, and it was in those conversations I found the term “3rd screen content”. The studios really are doing this on purpose.
