The art direction and fx in this series, though borrowing heavily from Blade Runner, are absolutely drop-dead gorgeous and so detailed that at times I had to pry my jaw from the floor. The characters, casting and acting are tremendous, especially our wonderful living hotel, The Raven and Poe, its proprietor. At times it slogs and the resolution is somewhat, "really? That's it?", but overall it pays off nicely. Well done, Netflix.
