Well, I also watched some of it on YouTube and read the whole thing online first. So I didn't go into it completely blind. I'd heard the first season was a bit silly at times. It didn't really grab me right off. The guys playing Frankenstein and his monster did an excellent job though. The second season is earning its keep a bit better. I'm starting to see this guy's style and what effect it had on Covenant.
That thing with the kid though. One of the most brutal shots I've seen in awhile. I've got a cast iron stomach and it darn near grossed me out.
