He's also obviously reserved and doesn't say much at all. But I didn't necessarily feel connected to any of the characters. It would have been nice to see a human side to some of the pigs in order to feel sympathy for X killing them. After a while it just seems like he's killing for no reason rather than killing for a purpose. It would have been nice, too, to see a human side to X so we can empathize with him. I also wish we knew more about X's past and Leigh's past other than her job. I think this pairing will prove to be interesting moving forward as Leigh can help X since she's been exploiting the bad side of Arcadia through her journalism for a while now. Overall, if you don't overthink this series and just enjoy the brutal and bloody ride l Read Full Review
