2-3

As Hayao Miyazaki once said (to paraphrase): "Episode 1 was a mistake".

Episodes two and three proved to be much more interesting. Allegiances are muddy at best, and betrayal is a dish best served constantly. The show wasted no time (after episode 1) in setting the stage as to why things are the way they are succinctly, and I couldn't be happier with the direction the story has taken. It even reintroduces organ playing bad guy in the first episode in a way that didn't cause my eyes to roll. Good questions, and good answers- Joran makes it look easy.
