I came in less than 10 minutes into it. I've read reviews online from "fantastic" to "meh". I lean more towards the latter opinion. Don't get me wrong, I was entertained but it wasn't great or outstanding. I mean, there was a LOT to do in the first episode, setting everything up, and establishing all the characters. And it did that well. The best thing is, it has potential, and that's why I'll be watching it again.
One thing that i was happy about, and which surprised me a bit, was how un-sexist it was. When the ladies fought in the rain, they were both dressed in black clothing. I was pleased, because the scenes in the bar were damn near lesbian porn with clothes, something filmed, I felt, to draw in the hormonal teenagers and dateless guys living in their parents' basements. And they very easily could have had both ladies in white or lightly colored clothing, and we know what happens to those when they get wet.
At any rate, like I said, not great, but potential, and that's good.
Afterwards, I watched an episode of the new Doctor Who. I've never been able to get into the Doctor's TV series, any version of them. But a few weeks ago, I caught one and was quite impressed. And this episode I saw, was VERY entertaining as well. I know I'll be watching it more regularly now.
