I highly highly highly recommend it -- and even if at times it seems (especially in the first 3-4 episodes) a bit too full of swagger and over-the-top, stick with it. Especially stick with it for a writer's take on the storytelling; the playwright's skill really does come through with this one. As you get farther along, you can see the story spiraling (following the main theme of the spiral) around to repeat events but for the first time: a similar battle or similar conflict but who is good and who is bad has switched around, shifted position. Worth it for a chance to enjoy such readerly-critique, if nothing else.
