Someone else wrote a review saying that there was nothing likeable about the title character. I don't understand that at all....she is shown in the first episode to be compassionate and kind. Yes, she has a streak of hardness but that doesn't mean she isn't likeable! I loved the episode, the writing, the acting and the soundtrack....can't wait for tonight's episode!
