Good but wait ...

...is Butcher supposed to be English?! Has Dick Van Dyke's performance in Mary Poppins taught Hollywood nothing?! Karl Urban is a fine ( in the just ok sense) actor but I can think of loads of others who'd do the job equally well AND be able to handle the English accent. Spending most of episode 1 being distracted by the weird mix of antipodean accent and English idiom was irksome but that apart, it's an entertaining show and it's nice to have something out of the ordinary to watch on television.

Very much looking forward to seeing how the characters develop and the story unfolds. The writing is good and the humour works throughout.
