Fandom seems fairly evenly divided between those who thought that the fantastic acting of McGann, Fisher and Nicholas Courtney made this a success, and those who could not get past the ludicrously bad American accents and absurd plot (a new American state is being inaugurated, but the governor has done a deal with some demons). I'm afraid I am firmly in the latter camp. The episodes are far too long as well, at 35 minutes each. Really one to avoid.
One star for good old Lethbridge-Stewart, one star for India and Paul trying their best, but honestly, this was the stupidest thing even without some of the most unpleasant voice acting ever. Eek.
