Probably my only post, but I'd give it time.

I can see both sides and there are many valid points, but this is one episode, not a whole season of etc, etc.

Besides those who don't accept a Latina as Cinderella, I saw most tend to like Jacinda more. It could simply be a transitional period. Some actors and actresses have to grow into their roles and given the interviews, I don't know how they are directed effectively when none of them seem to know beyond the script. Plus: Different Writers are good at different things, as far as I've seen on this show.

Adam and Eddy are plot guys, Jane and Brigitte are character/dialogue gurus, others provide their unique talents.

So, on the basic level, we can see why the episode has a "rushed" sense with only a small splattering of character. Ironically, this season is doing the opposite of Season 1 that slowly delved in. But if that happened, I'm sure people would complain of them using that approach, despite it likely being better.

But it's also what you are expecting to get out of the show. I think this premiere's probably not the best premiere, but how it is structured is actually pretty good for what they intended. Besides various opinions on acting and etc, the strongest complaint would be "been there, done that". But I'll withold on that until we get more.
