I liked the first two episodes because they were-in my mind-a combination of elements of Batman and James Bond done in a realistic manner. The hero of the piece like Batman has an older man who supports and aids him in his efforts to eliminate evil. The hero interacts with the femme noir with a Bond like seductiveness and with a paradoxical cool distance. The realism for me derives from the interaction of the cast in their various roles in that they do not have a destiny /fantasy based conviction of their success but rather come across with vulnerabilities and uncertainties as to the success of their efforts.The improbability of their surviving some of the firefights and having weapons with magazines-like the nine yards of belt ammunition of WWII fighter planes("the whole nine yards") is par for the genre.
