This is not what I expected at all. From the pilot you gather from the heavy load of characters who are all excellent performers and a plot that not only jumps continents but also narratives this will be a hard show to follow. The pilot is engaging and draws you in enough to remain engaged for almost an hour.
But, when episode 2 arrives, hold on to your horses! There's a Game of Thrones move with a beloved character and just when you think there are too many characters to explore you find that the project is going to give you individual pieces to everyone's lives. And although I am half way in at Episode 4, I'm blown away by how well done this show is.
It feels perfect in execution, I keep looking for a flaw and it may come but, as if now episodes 2-4 make up for the small hiccups that came with drawing us into this world with the pilot. In short stream it and find out for yourself what you're missing.
