On second thought, after checking an article in FXTribune.com:

"In its early episodes, Beyond devotes a frustrating amount of time to the unfolding mystery of Holden's new powers and how they cause problems for his reassimilation to waking life after his miraculous reentrance into the real world. They focus on Holden's attempt to understand and cope with two realities, a magical one known as the Realm that exists in his mind and bleeds in to his physical existence in present day, and the one he left behind when he entered his coma but which never stopped moving and evolving even while he lie motionless."

and,

"Freeform hopes that by releasing all 10 episodes of the show's first season at once -- it will be available to stream on the Freeform app, Freeform.com, On Demand and Hulu simultaneous with the show's television debut -- that fans will become enthralled by Holden's extraordinary story and binge it in entirety. But by the fourth episode, the story and Holden's character still have not progressed all that far, which makes watching Beyond feel more like a burden one must endure rather than an exciting adventure on which to embark. In light of this, it feels more likely that this rollout plan may actually be a sneaky way to convince viewers to watch more than the televised two-hour premiere event, because if people have to wait a week between each new hour, there's a very high probability they'll grow weary or forget the show even exists."

I think I'll pass, after all.
