While any show needs an antagonist, I just don't really like Fagin - like, at all. He's annoying at best, and just really not at all entertaining in the least. Up until the very end of this episode, he was just a nuisance and I couldn't care about him.
I'm much more interested and invested in Belle and Jack's hospital shenanigans and that ongoing plot. In fact, there could be some sort of exchange between the two that could've gotten Jack his money back since she's wealthy anyway, instead of him having to deal with Fagin in the first place.
Still, I'm enjoying this as a casual watch, and it's cool to see how they've artfully filmed in the same couple of locations while still making it look like a big part of a city... Let's see what the next couple of episodes hold!
Good start, good setting, good tone, good actors, we will keep watching.

Fagin is so despicable, so selfish and so unserious; I wish I could simply cut him out of the show, because it would make it so much better. He’s honestly not even remotely funny either, and I just find his attempts at comedic relief dreadfully annoying.
