Agreed
The first episode was a mis-fire in terms of acting, but the digital effects were outstanding.
The second episode is a vast improvement (though it still leaves room for more). They brought in some experienced performers and it seems to have had a positive impact on the entire cast. Now it appears a bunch of Hollywood pros are lining up to work with these guys, even though (if I understand the Creative Commons agreement right) nobody can get paid. They're doing *something* right.
