... And that makes this show hard to watch. The stupidity of characters to ignore the forces they are dealing with only for them to stumble into foolish and implausible situations drastically steals any thunder 30 Coins could have. A brilliant opening is ruined by the most infuriating ending you could think of. I don't know if it's bad editing or just lazy story telling but I have an issue when characters do purposefully stupid things just to move the story along. I invite you to just watch the first episode and consider just this little sampling of foolishness: 1. You check on a 2 day old baby and it's bigger than the woman taking care of it and you don't get everyone to come investigate? Just the mayor? Not the priest? 2. You walk into the same house with said mutated baby and you don't bring protection or an army with you? By the way the baby was born by a cow; nope nothing to see here, huh? 3. Women and man are attacked, woman abandons man to get help. (My issue here is the scene makes the woman look cowardly, but she's supposed to be the hero). 4. Woman possessed by devil/demon and shot with bullets is still alive but allowed to ride unrestrained in an ambulance with another patient. 5. Priest and cowardly woman from before retreat to a church to get weapons to protect themselves. Priest tells woman to stay hidden. She instead comes out in the middle of a battle then hides in a... you know what I'm done. The ending is stupid, the characters are written as stupid, and the editing is bad in this first episode. If you watch, take a drink when you see something stupid. I'll give it 2 more episodes but the overall high ratings clearly are bought and paid for. If you're not desperate for something to watch (like clearly I am) skip this entirely.
