The good: Visually pleasing. Cinematically interesting. Good special effects (especially fore TV). Relatively high quality acting. Interesting premise. Lots of attention to detail if you pay close attention.
The not-so-good: Slow moving; exacerbated by the small details that demand you constantly pay close attention. Obvious plot; its the pilot, we know the premise, so we know what has to happen.
Of the summer shows this year, this one is by far my favorite so far. I'm hoping the pacing and obviousness of the first episode were just the necessary evils of establishing the background in the pilot.
