For an origin story, it felt too messy, which kind of screwed the character development for me. I need more background on Marc and Layla, where they come from, how they met.... Plus I really wish they would explore more both of their cultural backgrounds - Jewish and Egyptian, both great cultures that have much to teach (not only the Egyptian mythology which has much place in the show for obvious reasons).

The pacing was a bit off sometimes, but the ending was very interesting. I would like to see a version (a movie perhaps) that starts the story from the beginning - Marc's origin, how he and Layla met, etc...
