Very stylish, great fights and characters and quick paced - I love the fact that they actually get on with a story, have things happen and not afriad to "have time pass"

I watched the first season on Netflix and now I'm caught up with the 2nd. I'm enjoying it, 2nd season seems like they ordered a few extra gallons of blood. The world is pretty cool too, but some stuff feels off.. Like, it's so far into the future that they're finding fossilized matchbox cars in one scene, and in another they're driving a cadalac from 1950.. why not an old rusted out 2016 jeep renegade? There's a bunch of other old timey cars but if it's like 1000 years into the future, or even several hundred, I doubt any of those cars would be running let alone not rusted away.
I try to just shut my brain off and enjoy the swashblucking-fu, but sometimes some things stick out. Still a cool show though either way. Characters seem well done and the story is cool. Kinda feels like it came from a comic book, but I think it's one of those once a decade original hollywood ideas.
Do enjoy it. Was a bit surprised it got a second season because I thought I recalled the first season not doing overly well. And yeah, feels like there's a lot more blood this season, or maybe I've just forgotten how much blood may have been in the first. Either way, there's some real gushers.
Season 1 is only 6 episodes so they don;t hang about.
We are watching Season 2 and enjoying - some nice twists and turns after the Seaon 1 cliffhanger.
Def more blood in the Amazon version of the scens above.

all this and the mighty Nick Frost to bring some pig-headed (see wut i dun did there) slacker insolence to balance out some of the earnestness of the other characters
