I was looking forward to this as a fan of both Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver, but was disappointed.
I guess there just isn't enough foundational decency coming through in the lead characters to compel me to care about them, especially in the context of the gore, violence, near-explicit sex and general dark, edgy tone of the pilot.
I'm hoping it gets better. After all, the word 'redemption' is in Izzard's speech at the reunion.
This show needs at least the promise of a little redemption in order to (what else?) redeem it.
