Pretty clear the one storyline we got is all were going to get. But it is growing on me in a good way.

I think her Talamasca character is English. I figured that she was around and must have hung out with real British actors (and other Brits), so I'd think - her being an actor - she'd have picked up how to do a poshy English accent. Hers sort of fades in and out. However, I will say that might be planned seeing as how her character has been in the US for quite some time, I guess.
I didn't get the impression "Helen" was English, especially as she's leader of the New York motherhouse.
But I guess since it's an original work (and I assume an original character, too), anyone's guess is as good as any other at this stage! :) Maybe we'll get more back story for her in time, that'll clear her origins up.

Good series so far!

I'm just not buying Eliz McGovern's accent. After all the exposure on Downton, you'd think she'd have nailed it.
What do you mean? She's an american actor, she played an american in Downton, and again an american in Talamasca.

Indeed some witches. A vampire. The story deepens. True motives revealed. Tensions build.

Yeah, we have questions and at one point we found ourselves playing "spot the vampire".
I do hope we see more vampires, maybe a demon or a ghost and definitely some witches. Given that S1 is only 6 episodes, I am fearing that the one storyline we have seen maybe the only one. Hope I am proved wrong.

We're liking it pretty well - at least enough to see what happens in the next episode. Yeah, we have questions and at one point we found ourselves playing "spot the vampire".

I suppose this one is turning into one that only I like.
On 2nd watch, I will admit its probably a 7/10 show for me, rather than 7.5/10 that I was rounding up to a 8/10 previously.

To summarize episode 2 in two words - "One Week"...yeah doesn't work for me :)
6/10 is still accurate though.
This kind of plot works as a silly action comedy, but not as a serious drama series.

I think you have thought this through a lot more than the writers probably have :).
Re: 1899 - If you decide to watch this you should know that it was planned and filmed with a season 2 in mind, but the show was cancelled before it could be made. Having said that, I enjoyed it.
