I know this was made from a comic book / graphic novel, which probably is bad for the fans of said novels. However, if you've never read the books you'll probably find the story very relevant to the times we live in. It makes interesting viewing. It's still a little preachy, but there are things that need to be kept on the front page to try and stop them from perpetuating. The writing is quick, interesting and holds a pace. The actors are top-notch. The only problem I have is the very dodgy Karl Urban 'cockney / London' accent. It rolls between a pantomime Ray Winstone and plane Australian. I'm sure they changed other things from the original work, they could just have changed this too. He's a fine actor, he just didn't need to try to do the accent. On the whole this series continues the trend of adding pathos and comedy to the superhero genre: worth watching.
