Mr Norrell's magical illusions baffle the French Navy and win him the loyalty of Sir Walter Pole, but the magic he performed to revive Lady Pole has released something unnatural into Sir Walter's home — a mysterious unseen Gentleman with thistledown hair. Jonathan Strange's magical ability grows, and he comes to London take up an apprenticeship with Mr Norrell. But Norrell is reluctant to share his knowledge and refuses to teach Strange the ancient magic of the legendary Raven King. Later the two magicians are called to rescue a stricken ship. Meanwhile the Gentlemen has appeared to and enchanted Sir Walter's impressive butler. Each night Stephen Black is drawn to an attic door that leads him to the mansion of Lost-hope, where he discovers Lady Pole trapped in an endless waltz. (BBC America)

And the second episode was very good, it just didn't have that element of surprise anymore. I have to admit that I enjoy the scenes with the King of Elves/Goblins the most, or whoever it actually is, and the reality feels a bit disturbing to me. The storyline with Marc Warren strongly reminds me of Terry Pratchett's books about witches fighting against the kingdom of elves, and I like that.
