This started out well enough, sort of, if you can suspend all intelligence and just enjoy hokum. But the more it has gone on the more irritating it has become. Nothing makes any believable logical sense. Who is this Eve? How come she is the keeper of a pair of magic bracelets? Where do they come from? You will never find out. She is nothing but trouble. Why does she give a bracelet to a bad character. Who is she? Can somebody wake me up?! Even Superman has an origin, an explanation of what he is - a backstory - to use that horrible word. All the Superheroes have a cause and effect but not this story. The "hero" becomes weaker and weaker, more and more pathetic, she becomes stronger and stronger - and why? How? Who knows. The last episode is a piece of ridiculous overblown, unbelievable nonsense when we are supposed to feel sorry for the evil one? Really? And it didn't take much effort to get rid of her, too easy. Or maybe there will be the Moriarty effect and she will be back. God I hope not.
I was glad when it was finished. The only reason I watched was because of Nesbitt, his performance holds the whole thing together but his character became irritatingly weak, hysterical and resorted to huffing and puffing, and it seemed he never understood what was going on! Yet another wasted opportunity like a lot films that depend on special effects that are often really good- but the story needs a believable plot, at least some element of believability and possibility. Terminator was fantasy but grounded in logical possibility as is Aliens. Modern series producers think we are all so stupid they don't need to bother with intelligent plots anymore.
