I think Episode #2 was a lot better than Ep #1.
Still not winning any Emmys, but a lot better IMO.
I mean I think the 1st 2 episodes of "Van Helsing" isn't as dumb as a lot of episodes from Supergirl S01.
And not nearly as dumb as every episode from Jessica Jones IMO.
Better than "Z Nation" and "The Strain" IMO.
Also better than "Fear the Walking Dead" S01 IMO.
Will definitely continue to watch Van Helsing.
