I loved the book. A lot. But this is not the book, this is just an interpretation of it, and as such it is all good.
I was surprised by the first episode, although I had eagerly awaited it. I liked it, despite some choices to cut parts of the story out. I must say that Shadow and Mr. Wednesday are spot on, actor-wise.
This episode, we get to see where the creators of this series wants to put their focus, and it looks like Bilquis and her sexuality driven existence will get all the graphical display it needs to hammer home how she works - completed with very happy male genitalia and all. Well, we get it now :)
The star of the second episode was Peter Stormare's Czernobog. He is always watchable, and he channels here a combination of his Russian MIR astronaut and his run as the devil from Constantine. Not someone you would want to meet. He sweats danger. Love it.
The episode started off a bit slow but halfway through it, it started to shine. How will they do this in 8 episodes when they use so much time to focus on packing boxes, shopping, and cleaning bathroom floors? Time will tell, and I'll be watching.
