Episode 1 was appalling: clumsy dialogue; unbelievable plot; bad acting - even from Sam West; not a sign of a policeman anywhere, even when somebody is shooting on the crowd from the top of the Mansion House (where the Lord Mayor lives); apparent murderer defended by two angels and prosecuted by a devil, and let out of the court unsupervised when his daughter starts shooting out the courtroom windows with the rifle that should have been Exhibit A in the trial... etc etc
The cardboard characters that the mostly highly competent actors were meant to represent were totally unengaging and unbelievable. Even the brawls outside (some of York's posher) pubs were amateurish. Doesn't augur well for the rest of the series.
Interesting to learn that God (Mr Mountjoy) has wings, though.
