Cleverman - the title not sounding too interesting at first, but meticulously and beautifully chosen, because it forces you gently into this slightly other, mysterious world. A future, only a few years ahead, a slightly slimmer ebook reader, seemingly an iPhone/Galaxy 6 or 7 - not too much attention to the future here. The fiction and the pinch of mystery, at the core surely based on the old ways of some of our ancient ancestors and our own up-to-day and/or future social problems, is imaginatively spun further, seemingly a good mixture of forgotten reality and fiction. The Cast is cast interesting, Iain Glen from GOT is always worth a further look and I'm eager to see the development of other characters. The production of the show isn't spick and span but professional although, no flaws at all. It seems to pay more attention to the story with imaginativeness and creativity than to an overly perfect picture. The feeling is more like Neverwhere or John from Cincinnati, which is good! This series has potential! It build's up many unknowns, reveals just the right amount of them in the first episode. The setting is nicely chosen. It has not much Sci - but also not too much Fi, although the show seems to live from it, which I think is nice. - And it is not overly "produced".
