We just watched both episodes yesterday and today. Like Cho, my wife was a bit surprised by the prevalence of arses. I was surprised at how little they showed... TV MA with a "nudity" warning in the beginning? Yeah, I was kinda expecting more along the lines of Thrones.
(Also that guard chick seems to only exist to take her shirt off in public... and we never get to see anything.
)
I see what you mean, Elv... there really aren't any likable characters. Alex is a wuss, and nearly everyone else is a dick. And not even a likable dick like a Lannister either.
My wife also pointed out the confusion about this "angelic possession" thing they have going on. She's like, "Aren't those demons?" I couldn't say she was wrong... Plus, they started out all wrong by basing it off a movie.
