The show could go any number of ways, but I enjoyed the pilot for the most part.

Soderbergh is good at what he does. Clever editor, too. I'll be re-watching the first c-section scene just to pay attention to the cutting.

And if this first episode was any indication, Clive is trying to make a run at statues.

Is the use of contemporary synth-based music as the score for a show set 114 years ago a conscious attempt to frame the show in a modern context? In other words, to draw parallels between that era and our own? Or is it just an attempt to seem more appealing to the average viewer? A little of both? I found the score well-employed, but a little jarring. Maybe that was the goal, though...
