2022.10
Starts off strong with an interesting world, characters and action, but turns into a whirlwind of non stop new plot points that barely have time to breathe. The promise of learning about how humans function in a world where an ability we take for granted, sight, is now a superpower is quickly forgotten. Time skips and pacing issues can make it difficult to stay immersed. Even worse are episodes that are mostly exposition dumps. Sometimes this feels like a movie or book that got chopped and stetchrd.
Worth watching first season, dont know if ill continue.
Ep1 Going in cold with a good recommendation.
feels lije a book adaptation. There are so many questions to ask but it feels likr the lore is there; just not overexplained. First episode feels a little too fast like they are in a hurry to get somewhere, but it builds enough trust to continue.
Ep2 keeps up the crazy speed, ending with some new characters as if here is the real story now. I would have liked to see a little more world building by now; maybe let the story breathe a bit. Whats the rush, its such an interesting premise, but hard to justify. I would have liked to see them do more
Ep3 the constant time skipping is slowing down; feels likr we've finally gotten to the story tte story wanted to tell.
Im trying to hold the nitpicking til at least end pf season one, but thrse kids seem like they were copy pasted into this world from a much gentler version. Wouldn't you think the kids of the chief would receive some more training than this? Especially in a situation where they have to e even more extra careful?
One thing ive liked from the beginning is this sort of reconsyructed primitive culture (like you see in Heilung).
Ep4 time is linear, exciting things start happening right away. A nice chase, but the nitpicks are accumulating. Trying to just enjoy the stroy as is, for now.
Ep5 still not talkking sppoilers yet, but this really makes you wonder why htbings unfolded this way.
Ep6 suddenly went from action chase show to every 2 chatacters eill pair off and have 5 min. Exposition. This show seems to like big reveals and big drops for the shock vslue, but i guess the cost of that is we have to stop and info dump,?
Ep7 things start happening agsin,.
I notice the props are getting cheaprt. In ep1 the furs and hides lookef hdbc made. Now are hero is wearing a raincoat with grommets, looks off the rack..
How do these people tame hirses, let alone guide them, ley alohe fees them?
Ep8 done season one. Its ok but... Maybe It could have been edited down to one good longish movie.
For all the time it had, the ending felt a bit rushed.
