I watched the pilot tonight and it looked like Syfy has invested some real money in this one. The premise is slightly more plausible than "Sharktopus".
The premise is so stupid I couldn't bring myself to watch it - figures that SyFy would think it's worth an actual monetary investment.
That's the thing - I tried to just take it like any fantasy but to me it totally fails even as general fantasy. The premise is so stupid and preposterous that it makes the show's world unbelievable out of the box. Add in paper thin characters and the near total focus on political intrigue and "adult" content and it came off as a cheap ripoff of "Game of Thrones".
But everyone loves fat evil drooling black eyed angels. SyFy just may have a winner here.

That is REALLY REALLY BAD for a premiere of such a hyped show. Unfortunately, I think that is a result of the setup sequence in the beginning of the episode. It tells you right off that you are going to be watching nonsense.
Which is also why the movie Legion bombed. Bad worth of mouth that the film was nonsensical.

That was my guess. The actual ratings was less than 2 million.

Like I stated in the other thread, a 1.96 for a series premiere that was fairly heavily promoted and 90 minutes long for a fairly expensive show is a disaster - SyFy's press release is an exercise in massive spinning to try to cover that up a bit. Tweets? Who cares? Tweets don't pay ad revenues in.
