Alright now, the first 3 eps of s2 are live and I tuned in for the first two. I can’t remember the minor characters that well, only the bigger story arcs like Rosamund and her Asian beefcake swordsman Lan, the werewolf that has visions, the apprentice gals, the psycho blonde witch with thr prominent jawbone…the other characters I’ve forgotten. But it didn’t matter too much. I caught on quick enough to follow.
There’s still a fair amount of swordplay, but it’s not overly compelling. Rosamund is good but her character has one note right now - taking on everything stoically alone. Wolfboy’s visions are better and now he’s with the blind wise dude who is giving him some advice. There’s magic too, of course. The trainees got a new classmate, the heiress to the throne, and that’s a bit interesting.
The end of ep2 reintroduced thr Professor from La Casa de Papel, which was the reason I watched this show from the start so despite saying I was going to bail, I might watch a bit more.
This season feels a little darker than before. I like that. But so far, it’s mostly just more of the same.
