And ignore the knowledge of the original novel that this is loosely based on, I would say that for a Netflix type series - this is a reasonable start. The plot is wavy, going from medical science exploration to low-level state authorities manhunt story, with the blood & gore from a vampire angle thrown in. The dialogue is standard network procedural, nothing racy or profane, no sex or overt violence, other than the inclusive vampire attack scenes. The real story is the buddy relationship between Dr Luther Swann and his best friend Michael Frayne, and the prion disease that comes between them, according to the writers. So far I am not seeing a master plan, or even any reasoning behind the events that transpire, which don't become apparent on either side of this war until episodes 4 & 5. I could critique every bad decision a character makes, which there are many, but it would add much to the analysis overall. Preferably wait until the story arc is firmly on its way and the characters and plot arc are firmly established.
