The number one selling point is the amazing visuals. The show looks glorious.

I am a big fan of Dune and Raised by Wolves and was hoping that this matched my enjoyment, but it failed to quite reach that level, I wasn't quite as engaged.

I was a big fan of the work done by Lee Pace in this. The concept and ideas behind 'Empire' were interesting and thought provoking, and absolutely enhanced by Pace's performance. Also kudos to Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, he is always good. Nice to see Dan McPherson as always in the rougish Han Soloesque role and I like the woman playing the robot. Hope to see more of her character in future seasons.

I found the other characters reasonably uninteresting. Especially the Gaal character. She came off as a bit of a young adult type character. Frustrated me a bit I guess.

1. Not as good as The Boys or Invincible.

2. Undoubtedly a little slow, requires patience.

3. The 'older' actors are excellent - Ben Daniels, Matt Lantner, Leslie Bibb. Josh Duhamel is ok. The actress that plays Chloe looks the part.

4. Really enjoyed the parts set in the 30's.

5. Liked how they didn't shy away from superhero costumes.

6. Better than the CW shows.

I will watch season 2 if it is rewnewed.

Flat characters, very serious, predictable, no fun, no style, moderately interesting world building, passable action scenes.
