I can only conclude some of the previous reviews were for something completely different to what I watched myself. These first two episodes were a great time (the trick may be allowing yourself to enjoy things, perhaps without regarding everything through an 'anti-woke' lens). I possess not a moment's hesitation in saying that if you enjoyed the original series, you'll very much enjoy this. Strong performances, thoughtful writing and sharp fight choreography, as all featured before, along with enough humour, blood and sex to sate the senses. A most welcome return. Very much looking forward to seeing where this goes and if Starz have any sense they'll keep it around for a good long while.
