So I never read the books but by the end if episode 1 I had ordered all the books to the series. I understand the first 2 episodes being slow because they set the story up. The scenes are really great. The acting is really great as well. I'm really liking the way I guess the protectors are set up it's unique and I like that it's different not the same as others. I like the way lasger has this edgy but professionalism abt him. The characters are well played. I find myself waiting for the next episode. I'm loving the storyline as well it's kept my attention it's hard to do that. I see the show being a success as long as people give it a chance and like the genre. We usually tend to follow it when we like this type of show.
