This is Joss Whedon’s brilliant storytelling and HBO’s crudeness colliding. (The HBO playbook seems to think that if they don’t seed a series with nudity, explicit sexuality and vulgarity, you can’t hold an audience. I believe they underestimate their audience). This is a brilliant, multilayered and fantastic premise rooted in the human condition. A flawed protagonist, characters with depth and brokenness, irony, humour, and hard held hope all knit together the narrative. Solid cast (with a surprise fan choice for episode 6) giving full performances. Action galore. I wish it had kept all that and none of the salacious content. I give this series a 9 (superb) out of 10. [SciFi, Fantasy, pseudo-historical drama]
