Personally I like the plot progression that's been done, each episode has been a little bit forward and highlights a lot in subtle ways by using the cameos. It's not overt like other series have been with twists and turns, but it doesn't need to be. The character build itself is the climax twist. The looming shadow of the growth of now to Oma. And I'm sure Decade coming up will bring some interesting shake ups too. But it really hasn't strayed from any other formula previous riders have used, whether it's blade with their ep3, or so on. The show has the same tempo beats others have had, but in a different implementation. A more gradual character focus that humanizes the perspective more to an authentic degree, while maintaining flair in other ways.
They've been explaining the time jackers and woz along the way. Subtle and gradual, but all the details are there in show outside of the .5 episodes. Though the .5 episodes do make it easier to know what you may have missed. But the show really assume audiences are smart and doesn't treat them like they are dumb, and that's refreshing in how it's so subtle natural character growth. Characters aren't completely stationary, they've grown from where they were since episode 1, with many even attempting to fight against their own changing thoughts and feelings(as we're seeing with Geiz now). It's very gradual and beautiful in that regard.
But the carry over back to the looming shadow of Oma should be coming back up as we get to Decade and what sets that in motion. Ruler vs Ruler.
So far, this show has been as good as any other Rider show, but in different ways. You can't really compare them because they all have their own emphasis and messages of their time. And right now in particular, Zi-O is the exact kind of humanizing commentary of what makes a good ruler that's needed.
