Impressions:
I wasn't expecting a lot from this series, but I was hoping for some mid-level entertainment. I saw potential with the cast as they were introduced and they get developed in a fairly satisfying if predictable way. What really makes this series stand out is when it starts to delve into Leo's past, his true nature and what his objective really is. It's nothing particularly groundbreaking, but it's solid and a notch or two better than I was expecting. I'd say if the first episode succeeds in hooking you, you'll find the watch worthwhile.
