Gave it another episode. Not my cup of tea.

I knew Lavinia was going to turn out to be a bad guy. Olivia Williams has spent the last 15 years playing nothing but shady ass characters in everything she's been in.

I dont know exactly why, but i kinda like this show.

I have to confess that I expected to HATE this, and that that I would "hate watch" it for a few episodes. Truth is, I think Joss Whedon is overrated and that the Snyder Cut basically exposed his lack of talent, and I expected to be telling the world to avoid this show.


But half way through the second episode I had to admit it...I actually DO kind of like this show.
I think they're doing a reasonably good job so far with the mix of "powers". They're not tied to X-Men or any known comic universe, so they are free to be original. There's no super overpowered characters yet like on Heroes, but the HBO budget means that they CAN afford to do special effects-based power, unlike a basic cable show like The 4400.

And I'd like to claim that I saw the "twist" coming, but just a few minutes earlier I was saying "This guy with the Warg powers is stupid for not telling his sister about it. Why are you hiding this?" Obviously, that would have been the wrong move.

I guess what I didn't expect is that, even though they're kind of doing yet another take on the story of "Jack the Ripper", they find a way to somehow make the show seem more "lighthearted" than most fantasy shows set in London in this time period.

With the guy with powers like Bran, why do I feel this what HBO scrambled to put this together once they realized Bloodmoon wasn't going to happen, probably called Whedon to help them out.

At least give it the whole pilot .

 

[EQ.]

All the conversations with and about Maladie are overdone and are trying to sell this main antagonist as this super threat but she's just comes off a annoyingly crazy without much menace.

Doesn't seem like she's the main antagonist at all.
She seems like the equivalent to the killer clone in the first season of Orphan Black.

Fair enough, wheelchair lady might end up being the true villain behind it all but I'm less than impressed by the Maladie character.

They seemed to be pointing at the Mad Scientist as the "Big Bad", but then in the second episode

Spoiler

His henchmen referred to the Wheelchair Lady as "The Boss", and when she showed up she talked down to him for saying "ain't we got fun". Because "This isn't fun, this is war."
She's clearly the true villain.

Maladie just seems to be their take on "Jack the Ripper".

Maladie is just there as the first season enemy to give the good guys a W

You can even tell Bonfire Annie is the brains behind their scheme and might even be stronger. Then there’s wheelchair lady in the cut

 

[daemonova]

I don't think this is spoiler talk but from the may previews , the six episodes is only the first half of the season.

Yep. I mean ima see this thru but so far

 

[Bigbigguy]

Watched Ep2 and thought it was kinda mid

This feels like a show Whedon would've done on Fox 10 years ago
