Not an arresting first episode, but bear with, as the plot threads, character development & cinematography (though, too much 'artificial light streaming thru into interior set' going on) improves with every episode. I'm not sure why Barnes isn't allowed to really shine in this; he's good, but his Adams is kept a cipher, when Barnes is usually compelling & scene-stealing. Csokas is wicked fun, O'Mara gives a magnetic Washington, but this is worth watching for Spall, whose foppish Hancock is initially hilarious, before really going on an excellent character arc.
