Pros:
- real mature violence
- cool fantasy land
Cons:
- childlike characters
- slow predictable development
Bold to do a whole episode on character development so soon. They must really bank on their hook in E1. For anyone who roughly knows the premise of the series, though, the hook in E1 is expected, so E2 just feels like more predictable backstory. The characters aren't complex enough to warrant this diversion; they're all pretty archetypal. They're also dumb -- like they can't see what's coming.
While mature in premise and violence, I fear the show is already too immature in writing to give me much hope that it all pays off, even though (as usual) I'm curious how it pans out and hopeful for a colossal mind-melt.
