    I think Alexander mostly pulls it off. SecUnit’s internal monologue is a bit flat but overall I get the impression of a genderless being.

    I think the other characters come off as a bit too goofy. There also doesn’t seem to be as much tension as I remember from the books. Only a few episodes in so maybe things will pick up.
