I absolutely loved the All Souls Trilogy, and was nervously awaiting the TV adaptation. I was concerned how they planned to pack so much detail into the show without cuts or long drawn out seasons. This episode packed some serious punch. In a way, it was very rushed, hurrying through the book at an alarming rate. I was nearly exhausted afterwards, because the entire episode sped through every minute like a freight train, and the end left me gripping my chair and chewing my fingers and then wam!, end of the episode. I sat back, took a deep breath and thought to myself "holy christ, what was that? I want more!" Episode 2 can't come soon enough.
