I agree that Robert is a cipher, and this made it hard for me to get completely invested in the story. This problem is mentioned in David Barbour's review, which I think describes the strengths and weaknesses of the show very well. Unlike the book, the show is really Francesca's story, which was a good decision, since she is a more believable character than Robert.
