lengthy exposition, bad camera work

i find this episodes a little boring. i dont usually like this sort of exposition though. It wastes time, all of this information could have been conveyed in less time consuming and more interesting ways. i expected not to like the set up episode though, it doesnt deter me from watching the rest of the drama.

on the technical side i dont like the camera work. i think they were going for edgy and didnt make it there. it whips around, is shakey in spots. the opening action sequence suffers from this badly, coming off confused and jumbled rather than conveying the intensity of the situation. the tight close ups arent set up properly so it feels like part of the screen has been cropped out, like wathcing a wide screen movie on a standard screen television.

i'm looking forward to episode two, from what i've read the real plot starts there.
