@MegaKillScreen: Yeah, my wife and I watched two episodes yesterday and we're just kinda "meh" on it. It's a bit pretentious, honestly. I really do like the mystery and fogginess of the events, but I don't like how vague the show is with just about every detail and storyline. Plus, some of the acting isn't very convincing.
But it feels wrong to judge the show too harshly based on two episodes. I'm sure we'll watch the rest of the season to see if things come together. I can definitely see the potential, but there needs to be better execution and more exposition if I'm going to stick with it for the long haul.
@sorethumbed If you thought the first episode of SOA was violent... Oh man, there's some crazy stuff headed to your eyeballs in future seasons. But the ride is definitely worth taking. There are some ups and downs (season three being a low point), but the show is extremely entertaining.
