S2-e1&2: And we’re back! Honestly, I’ve forgotten what happened for most of s1. There was one of those recaps at the beginning and I was watching it dumbfounded, barely remembering any of those s1 highlights. Perhaps I should’ve taken better notes here. Doesn’t matter. I get the gist still. And things started coming back as I watched. It took me a while to remember who some of the characters were but some moments jogged my memory.
S2 doesn’t have any toplessness so far but it’s got a lot of entrails. It feels a little grimier than I remember but the world has gone downhill. I admire it’s world building - the human v fae neighborhoods are complex enough and the dickensian steam punk setting works well for me. Now that the row is firmly established, they can carry on with storytelling. Perhaps they’ll burn it all down for this final season. That would be cool in an epically tragic way.
The effects seem a bit better, particularly the pixie wings. I’m enjoying it for what it is. Orlando has a fun fight scene to start - an underground match v 2 goblins (I think - not exactly sure what they were supposed to be) and a trow (troll?) He can’t keep his shirt on but he’s got great pecs so who blames him? Cara still sports those commanding eyebrows and has fallen in with the critch terrorists (spelchuk just tried to swap critch for crotch and crotch terrorists reminds me of another thread here).
I’ll probably see this through now since it’s going to end. Not particularly D00M recommended.
