It has been one month since the pilot aired and it caught me by surprise. I am a kind of movie freak that has watched a lot of movies and TV and doesn't get impressed easily. The feeling the pilot gave me was similar to what i felt when i watched the first episode of Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad or The Twilight Zone (Original); i would also add MASH but its a comedy.
It mesmerized me, the lead actor seems almost tailor made for the role, great casting choice and Christan Slater......., saw him after a long time and must say that the way he is handling the part, I am starting to wonder why has he not been working in better movies. The sisterish friend of the lead may be considered a bit weak but not by much. Anyways, the point was that i was in awe of the pilot and during last month saw it 3-4 times.
I was apprehensive that the followup episode may not be able to carry the momentum. We have all seen shows that show promise in the beginning but then very soon stoop down into driveldom, or at-least loose our interest.
This is not one of those. The second episode was at par and maybe even a bit better then the first. The characters are fleshed out during the course of the 46 odd minutes. The absolute power image of the pilot is brought up against the absolute powerlessness that the characters sometimes feel.
I loved it too much, so ill keep on chattering..... you guys go see this. But remember..... you need your brains about you with this one... in-fact you may even need to borrow some from the local chop shop.
Have fun.
