So this started. It's very much like X-Men in Victorian London. I know Joss Whedon has turned out to be a major d-bag but...the pilot was really entertaining. He does know his superhero stuff still.
This show is in an unfortunate position - Whedon stepped away from it last year, so they didn't get the full benefit of his talents, but still got his stink on it.
Still, magic+steampunk sounds rather cool.
Well, 2 episodes in...really digging this show.
Also, if you're a fan of redheads...I have a feeling you'll like this show a lot.
I hadn't checked out the cast before and for some reason thought Penance was played by Amy Manson because she played Merida from "Brave" on Once Upon A Time. So Ann Skelly is a new name for me. I hope she can do non-Irish accents. Amy Manson is killing it as the baddie.
Yeah, I've enjoyed the acting so far, quite a bit. The two leads have been great, I really dig that evil doctor, and the playboy dandy...what's his name...the Dorian Gray caricature...has been entertaining as well. And that politician with Dr. House vibes.
When you have lots of relatively obscure actors and yet the level of acting is high, I think the director has to get a lot of the credit.
Another good episode...that fight on the lake was pretty awesome - never seen anything like that before.
Well that episode did not AT ALL as I expected. I do hope there's isn't any future parts more as that was a bit confusing. Nice to see Claudia Black again. Laura Donnelly is proving to almost be a better actress than her Outlander co-star Catriona Balfe. "World class tits" is not her only attribute.
The show is currently in pre-production and is set to return to filming the second half of the season this summer.
