This is by Far the worst season of this show. It looks like a soap opera. A badly written soap opera...
Wtf is happening with the writing on this show? Is that the reason Henry jumped the boat? Are they trying to kill the series?
It's not necessary to follow the books precisely, but if you're gonna deviate this far, at least make it good. Not this trash, with forced intimacy scenes, god awful timeline connections, abismally bad dialog, and the clothes... Omfg... I don't remember a show where the ridiculous costumes bordered me so much. Especially Gerald's, where it looks like he's in some low budget cosplay. Actually nearly everyone seems to be in a very low budget cosplay. The other seasons had kinda goofy looking clothes, this one is just awful.
I'm not gonna even touch on the bad visual effects and horrible environment. Looks like they're almost always on a VP set. I don't even want to remember that wild hunt chase scene... It's gonna make me puke.
There are some outright unbearable scenes in this season, so much that I literally stopped watching midway through some episodes and completely forgot the season was out... Multiple times!... especially through episodes 3, 4 and 5. And when I remembered the season existed, I didn't want to watch this $hit.
It's sad to see the series fall so far away from its original take, and turn it this garbage, being dragged by the mud. I was actually considering not watching the next seasons now that Henry left the show... now I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stop here.
