It's also mostly filmed in what my late father used to called
"Glorious Dark" (i.e. lots of nighttime, 'dark alley', low lighting
stuff), which I generally don't cotton to. And I generally don't like
'color filtering', though with this series it at least makes sense, so
the viewer can keep track of the different "'verses".
That said, while I find the "big bad evil cor****ation" stuff eye-roll
worthy, I'm intrigued enough to see where they're going with this to
stick with it.
