This was pretty cool, to be honest. Yeah, the animation was a little cheap, but I love the design of the three main Daleks we focus on here. Usually it is hard to get much character out of these guys but I think they do a pretty good job at having a distinct sense of three slightly different versions of the character - the power-hungry Emperor, the ancient advisor the kind of sounds like Davros, and the crazy kill-happy executioner. As much as the animation feels cheap, the production also clearly puts a lot of time and effort into bringing comic book Daleks to life, all the while telling a pretty neat introduction for a Time Lord Victorius thing. And it does all of that in like 10 minutes while making the Daleks feel pretty creepy and dangerous. I'm intrigued how the rest of the series goes now so I think this first episode did a good job overall.
