This show is going to be compared by a lot of people to its British counterpart (Sherlock, though I must be the only person in the world who finds Cumbersnatch a little weird and off-putting. As much as people dote on the show, I thought Luther was a better series), and it can't help but pale in comparison. On its own merits, though, I think it's pretty good. I thought Johnny Lee Miller was good in Eli Stone, but I like seeing him do a more Sickboy-like character, albeit one with a much greater mental capacity. I think he pulls it off. Never cared for Lucy Liu that much, but she plays a good Watson.
My only complaint was that the episode was a little too easy, too geared toward the expected American audience. Hopefully the writers will step it up as the season goes on.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
