Jesus this was hard to watch. All the torture scenes...urgh.

I'm not sure I understand Koen's flashbacks. Is he seeing the future? The possible future, something else?

Also it seems they're going to explore sex trafficking...I wonder if they've done their research on sex work politics as well as they did everything else.

So both brothers are flexible on monogamy? (Or okay with cheating, but I don't actually want to assume?) I thought the red-haired girl was Koen's girlfriend in the first episode, but I guess not?

From the conversation with Aunty Linda about her cancer, I thought his visions were of the recent-past/present.

I'm interested in whatever killed Uncle Jimmy and the kid at sports practice. Uncle Jimmy seemed... accepting?... of what he knew what would happen, but if It's going to go around killing kids that puts a different vibe on it all.

And who do Koen rescue that girl from? Was it some affiliate of Jorah Mormont?

Also I'm trying not to be shallow, but Rob Collins who plays Waruu is quite handsome.

It a mystery. Presumably one that will be dealt with as the series progresses. Jimmy did tell Jorah the Andal that "he would get his spirit", but after that after that he would need to find himself a new Cleverman.

It was only a throwaway line, but I think Jorah said that "until 6 months ago", no one knew that the Hairies existed. So the Zone, the persecution, the blackshirted Department for Being Dicks to Hairies, the concentration camps - that was all established in 6 months?
