Ayyyyyeeeeee, I read slow af but I finished. Overall, really good premiere and very different from the ones we've seen in the past. An entirely new location, new cast of characters, and much less action packed. Saying so, I think it was a wonderful choice to take this direction.

I guess I'll start with the characters, first off since we've got so many newbies. Maia is my favorite, without a doubt. She started off as this sweet, religious chick, worrying about her BFF Nico, then we see her pulling a gun out on Dwight...quite the contrast, and that pulled me in immediately. You managed to do a lot of defining of her character in such a short amount of time. Roz, too, stuck out to me, as did her defense of Dwight. What really got me interested though was that flashback with Gio, whom we saw being trailed by Victor last. Put a lot of questions in my mind. There has been a lot of talk with Dwight, but besides that pretty badass introduction, he didn't stand out much to me, compared to the others. I did love his relationship with Oliver though, who seems to be another mystery to me. The necklace, his pretty iffy relationship with Hiro, his awkwardness. He, Maia, and Roz are my premiere-favorites based on how much mystery and expansion seems possible with the three of them.

The writing was ace, nothing changed in that regard of course, and I really loved the use of flashbacks to get a feel for the new guys. I thought it all flowed really well together with the present-time stuffs.

Then a cliffhanger of course u fgt

Well, great premire, John, and I'm looking forward to Ep. 2!
