From a Spark to a Flame

I had been looking forward to this show for months, and my expectations were positively met! Although not as great as it could be, episode 1 sets up what could be a fantastic show!

Right off the bat, I loved the action sequence at the beginning of the show! Yes, the CGI wasn't that great, but everything else, especially the action sequences, I loved! What I loved more about the opening scene was Harlan's introduction at the club. Absolutely stunning visuals!

Things I didn't like or could be improved: some of the dialogue felt unrealistic, especially the scene between Blake and her father in their van. To me, a lot of Blake's lines seemed unrealistic for a teenager to say. A lot of Everett's dialogue also seemed unrealistic for a teenager. Some parts of the episode also felt slow to me, but this is only episode 1 which is the set-up.

Overall, a decent episode that I would rate 6.75/10 if I could. I can't wait to watch the next episodes!
