Is the hype solely based on this chick playing so many roles?

Not solely, but largely. I think it's a decent enough conspiracy thriller, but I do find myself continually impressed by her ability to play different characters so well. If the setup of the show didn't require her to play so many roles, it certainly would lose a few points in many people's books.

Also, where is this notion of hype coming from? I stumbled upon the show when Amazon Prime got season 1 and put it in a featured spot. I'm not sure I'd have even heard about it if not for that. I guess I'd have seen it mentioned in threads here that I never would have bothered to click on. I really don't think it has enough hype to be overhyped.
