Several people recommended this to me; I watched the first two episodes last night. It seemed very promising.
It felt like a slightly slow start -- I want to know what's happening already. If I'd rented the DVDs I would have watched on immediately. But I loved all of the characters (especially the Indian and the Japanese man and the cop); thought the powers were well thought out; loved the brooding feeling it portrayed; loved the armaggeddon forshadowing -- here is something important to worry about; and also the other paintings, having an intermittent precognition explains everyone meeting up extremely well, without any need for weird coincidence.
I made a little graph of the main characters, and how they're connected; it's spiralling together.
