I thought it was fun, though I didn't quite get the rules of the universe... who was a nephilim versus who wasn't just didn't seem to be a consistently applied ruleset. We're told early on that Grigori + human female = nephilim, but then there are several cases where that doesn't happen, so... yeah.
That said, it was fun. I liked Maddy, I liked the secondary cast. I didn't buy the instant love between Gabriel and Maddy, but it didn't really bother me. I just thought it was a fun world, and I liked the different (seemingly, at least thus far) take on Heaven, Hell and the angels. I'm interested to see where it goes.
