Think of the early episodes as a extraordinarily long pilot if you've only watched a few. The animation is wonky and the main character(Steven) can come off annoying. But it also helps seed hidden facts, foreshadowing, and knowledge about the world. As you get a little bit deeper in the series you suddenly find yourself seeing the show has a actual plot instead of a 'slice of life' or 'monster of the week' kind of plot.

The premise is interesting to me myself, not seeing it done this specific way beforehand, and the interactions and relationships are pretty well done. Majority of them feel realistic, or semi-realistic. Either is hard to do well and gives good quality to any show. It also has many references to the shows creators favorite video games, anime ect. which is fun to look for.

I actually hate romance, and will probs seem bigoted because it happens to have female characters, but it also has some undertones of that and by extent representation of lesbian and gay relationships.

Short Version; Well-done relationships, real plot, some romance.
