Atmospheric and hellish

An intriguing start to the series.

I like the look and feel of the show. It's violent and dark but not in your face, like a subtle menace creeps in slowly and creates a great atmosphere.

We get given a few hints about the nature of Spawn and his bargain with the hell lord, but not everything is spelt out. We also get insight into The shady Dealings going on between the mafia and a senator. Trying to cover up something but I'm not 100% on the details.

My favourite scene is the one in the graveyard where he confronts his own limbless corpse. Very dark.

I won't say it's perfect - but it's pretty good.

Warning: Spoilers
The first episode of Spawn introduces us to the cast of the series. Al Simmons, a dead Cia agent is forced to rediscover his identity as he awakens as the nightmarish hell spawn. Accompanied by a creepy clown who delights in violence and sin, the clown torments him and taunts him to the answer. Meanwhile a shadowy figure deals with a senator, wiping out journalists trying to reveal a secret while in return he gets unlimited funds.

Spawns first episode is moody and atmospheric. Not skimping on the violence nor language. Stand out performance from character actor Keith David. The rest of the voices are also top notch. Also props to the Twilight zone like intro with Todd MacFarlane asking a hypothetical question to the audience.

A must see for fans of spawn, horror, or adult animated shows. I was hooked instantly.
