I get a kick out of some of the reviewers, particularly for the 1st three episodes, that you can tell didn't even bother to watch the episodes they were reviewing. Reviews, at best, are subjective territory anyway, given to personal bias and loaded with a lot of self-righteousness and arrogance imo, so I tend not to give them much attention. But it bothers me because they do hold sway with a lot of busy people and if fantasy isn't to your taste, obviously this show is not for you. But so far, while there's been a sense of "too much all at once" tone time more than anything, I'm definitely invested in the characters, care about what happens next and caught up in the current plot lines... Pretty much all one cares about when watching a show - i.e.is it worth watching. IMHO, this one definitely is!
