I think it's pretty ambitious for a kids' show, in a good way. They're trying to touch on big themes like how abusive relationships fuck people up mentally and the aftermath of war in a way that's understandable for kids, and the background space opera lore and character development arcs are pretty great. It really seems like it's been thought out from the start. The music and songs are nice.
There are flaws though, the pacing is a bit shit especially with this bomb format, some episodes are really weak, and sometimes I think it sort of stumbles on itself a bit, but still worth checking out. I think it'll be better when bingeing.
If you do decide to check it out, I'd recommend sticking with it for a while before deciding what you think, though. I absolutely loathed Steven in the first 10 or so episodes, he was such a whiny little fuckup I almost dropped the show. But then he got better and the show started to kick into gear. It's told from Steven's perspective, so the tone changes as he grows and starts to understand what really has happened and what's at stake and what he has to become. But yeah he's a spoiled fat retardo in the first eps.
