I've just watched episode 4 and can't wait for the next. The first thing I saw about this show was the cheesy cover art with the roman armored angel standing over this guy who is dressed like a 80s cop and I thought "meh". After a while I came across the page again and saw that Anthony Head is in it so I watched the trailer. This is when I started to like what I saw. The effects are pretty good for TV standards (it's not as well made as something like Game of Thrones but I guess that's more of an exception) and the setting is rather dark and grim.
Seeing "older" actors like Anthony Head or Alan Dale taking a big part in a series is refreshing. Most of the times they just have a supporting role and the rest is done by the generic pretty faces. If you think a series about angels gone bad sounds interesting you should definitely give this one a try. Now to the parts I didn't like. Yes, they renamed the city "Vega" which isn't that believable after just 20 years of war but I think this is something most people should be able to live with. This is after all a fantasy show and it's packed with ancient Greece themed stuff like Helena or the whole political structure of those cities so people should bare in mind that although the show seems to take place in modern day USA it's still fantasy based and not everything has to be exactly the same as we know it.
