It has a good developing story line and I have found the early episodes built up a level of suspense.
The actors have done a good job to get you trapped into it but I have found it a bit confusing having Hiroyuki Sanada playing yet another inscrutable Japanese hate character so soon after Helix.
The series is definitely work watching but I am concerned at the very slow pace. You get to the end of each episode feeling that not much progress has been made. I can only hope that this is not due to a lack of story direction.
I am starting to feel like saving the rest of the episodes of this series and watching them all in one hit to get some sense of pace.
In all, not a bad bit of SciFi and, hopefully, it will start to progress a bit quicker as the plot broadens.
