Well put together, and with a fascinating and engaging world behind it, Cleverman also has more going on under the hood than is at first obvious.
(Telling that the negative reviewers mostly say they didn't watch past the first 15 - 20 minutes, and also seem to be focusing on what they see as PC messaging.)
None of the characters are black and white, in fact on thinking back, I believe every main character is introduced while committing an act of betrayal. Not that you know it at the time, but when thinking back you realise that they all were.
There are enough intersecting lines of relationship and conflict between all the characters to have a lot of interesting stuff going on, and the fact that they are all in some way culpable or duplicitous (even the protagonists) is juicy and exciting.
Can't wait for episode 2. Well done all involved.
