Fantastic

Take the action and badassery of the first 3 books and turn it up to 11 and episode 4 is what pops out.

Full on squad combat in a major city, unbeatable odds and a group of misfits finally finding their synergy. It's one hell of a ride, yet for everything happening, you never get lost in the chaos.

From an action standpoint, I think the series really hits it stride here.
