I think that if we get future seasons, each season will cover a big saga. So this season would cover the East Blue Saga, while next season will likely cover the Alabasta Saga. How many sagas, not arcs, are there?

East blue saga is not over yet, so I think next season will gonna be from loguetown to alabasta. Baroque Works things.

I still REALLY hope that this show will be a great hit, and the audience scores and reviews are great so far, but top critics The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, Variety, and Rolling Stone are already doing their best to sink this ship, presumably because the show is not considered sufficiently ultra-progressive and is actually mostly faithful to the source material rather than twisting it almost beyond recognition.
The critics who are more balanced and less "my personal ideological agenda must be 100% accurately and slavishly inserted into absolutely everything no matter the consequences"-driven seem to really like the show though.
However, I am still worried, given the sheer production costs for this series, and that it has not been shown to trend among Netflix viewers yet in Sweden where I live. Then again, Swedes are unfortunately largely stuck in a phase of isolation, weltschmertz, depression, resignation, and darkness, so they mostly produce and "enjoy" morbid, boring, and depressing crime novels and dramas.
However, Forbes at least seems to have a positive outlook for the prospects of this series, so I am really hoping for the best.

Good news, One Piece's Netflix adaptation seems to actually be good.

Probably should have dropped each ep once a week to keep up hype like mawsI still REALLY hope that this show will be a great hit, and the audience scores and reviews are great so far, but top critics The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, Variety, and Rolling Stone are already doing their best to sink this ship, presumably because the show is not considered sufficiently ultra-progressive and is actually mostly faithful to the source material rather than twisting it almost beyond recognition.

Normally I don't participate in so-called woke-bashing but even IGN has joined the ship (no pun intended) and given a low score (6/10) to the series ... I was very disappointed to see that. For reference, they gave the live-action Cowboy Bebop a higher rating (7/10)

Damn, they using a lot of manga stuff

I am moderately progressive (and economically far left), but I find people who get fanatically extreme, zealous, unreasonable, and authoritarian about it very annoying, especially if they insist on systematically completely distorting most highly beloved franchises just for the sake of personal ideological propaganda.
And the irony is that One Piece is a progressive anti-establishment comic book. It just kids around and doesn't take itself too seriously about it.
Hence, for example, despite that Ivankov is a non-binary genuine hero/heroine and played and inspired by a transgendered friend of Eiichiro Oda and his wife, the character ended up funny-looking for the sake of comedy, and despite that Oda has nothing whatsoever against overweight women, Alvida was the series' first villain, but some reviewers seem extremely oversensitive and completely lack a sense of fun and humour.

Hmm. I found a seemingly quite sensible review that was not very enthusiastic despite really enjoying the source material.

Netflix’s One Piece grinds down the greatest manga ever until it’s just content
Much like with adaptations The Sandman & Cowboy Bebop, Netflix does to Eiichiro Oda’s manga what it does to everything: grind it down from art to content.

Here is a much more positive review that I thought was very good.

I haven’t finished shrub yet but it’s kinda bothering me how underpowered they are. Like I get they can’t make them as strong as in the anime/manga but getting restrained by sone ropes or getting knocked out by a glass bottle is kinda ridiculous tbh

I prefer to see the show as a more realistic version, it's still silly and action packed but it's more grounded in reality, and thats fine

Personally think they handled Syrup village really dang well, especially Kaya. I think they handled kuro well for what he was and his henchmen were surprisingly fun. luffy vs kuro was one of the weaker fights sure but i never liked the fight much in the manga/anime anyway. Plus they moved zoros flashback within syrup village which obviously kinda boosts syrup village as a whole

I thought it was decent but it felt like usopp wasn’t as prevalent in the arc tbh.

I still think the syrub village could have been better but I like why they did with the Baratie arc
