If you want coherent writing, or just good writing in general, with interesting characters that make interesting choices, don't bother watching this. [try the original graphic novels instead]
However if you're fond of head-walling, or need to watch dumb and reckless people doing dumb and reckless things without logic to back it up with, go right ahead.
The story in itself is great, but that's no excuse since it's taken right from the comics. The show just messed it up - if I am to believe the readers, as I haven't read the comics myself yet. And I do trust them.
I only kept watching because I am a completionist, usually.
But really, nothing excused the try-hard lazy writing, not even, or especially not the way they're randomly trying to be inclusive by just throwing things out there for about a second (yet discarding those things right away each time), like poly, queer or non-binary topics. It's like they're trying to be like "hey if we make our show hetero-normative but kind of touch on a queer subject, like not hate it, then that makes us cool right? Maybe do the same thing with other topics, should get us more viewers right? Right???"
...
Naw.
"First things first"...
Uhm how about duct-taping the bad guy or some shit especially since you don't know when they'll be waking up. No let's just keep her lying on the floor, nothing unsafe about that whatsoever.
Kudos til the non-binary line I suppose, but again the whole show is a bit too much on the tryhard-track for me to appreciate their "lets try and be inclusive" fully.
And I really can't with these kids. Last episode they (although it was an adult to be fair) brought the crown key RIGHT to both crown and Dodge, and now they're bringing both unconscious Dodge AND the fucking omega key TO the fucking door?! What the actual fffffff I just feel like hitting my head against a wall and cry until this episode is over. Just... 24 more minutes.
Just so much is wrong with this. Dodge most likely still duct-tape free (I'm a fan of duct tape plus everyone has that in their house, easy) under there, and now they're trying to open a door they have no clue what does to no-clue-what-end but Tyler is awful positive about that it WILL be an end "Let's end this"... you have no idea how this works, how do you suppose you will end it by opening an ominous door a fucking demon is really crazy about opening? And they all just cast away that odd thought about where the crown is, clearly it would have to have been on Doge, and how come there were no keys on her either, did they even bother to check? No, let's just wrap it up and toss it. And of course we don't get good camera-angles when the bullets fly out, we wouldn't want anyone to accidentally see what happens.
ARGH. I need to stop ranting.
Well after all this baiting for a second season we'll probably get one. Unless they decide to drop it, and I wouldn't be sad.
