Yes, it was very interesting. I wept for it as well. There aren't enough good magical worlds on TV, but there are even fewer good magical worlds where magic is in active conflict with science.
The justice system was kinda meh. It was rather horrifying, yet made sense with magic being the ruling element. It also makes sense, especially if Bacon never invented his method, seeing no need for it. I think it would have worked better in a book, where all the small differences could be explained rather than making me go 'huh?' and pulling me out of the world.
The bullt reveal was an awesome scene, especially with Stockard getting drunk with her new partner. Fun all around.
In the end, I think it was very interesting and intriguing, but would work a lot better if it was written as a book, then made into a TV Series (something like Sword of Truth - Legend of the Seeker).
Oh, and Tricia Helfer was awesome. I'd have loved to see more of her, especially what other stuff necromancy can do.
