Put up with the obvious ideology during season 1 because it was an interesting premise and the worldbuilding looked good, and let’s face it, if there were a sudden influx of fairy creature immigrating to a human land there would be massive repercussions and probable backlash etc, so the antagonism and conflict wasn’t unreasonable.
Gave up by approx episode 4 of season 2 when it turned into more activism than storytelling. The characters no longer made any sense and, as per usual these days, every single person with any power or agency was of course female. Getting really tired of this trope especially after just sitting through 4 season of 12 Monkeys, which does the exact same thing (ps. avoid that ###### too)
As season 2 went on I actually found myself siding with the police far more than the ‘heroes’ which caused most of the problems.

In reply to Brenda Stone.

We’re sorry that you feel that way. It’s an unfortunate reality that we cannot be all things to all people, and that not all of our jokes or irreverence will land with every reader.

That being said, it seems rather reactionary to indict the entire site for a single metaphor. We hope that, despite this singular instance, you will continue to find value in our offerings.

In either case, take care and God bless.

I have to think there is something really wrong with a person that uses animal trauma as an analogy in a movie review. Your writing skill is evident and it was not neccessary to show off using that particular subject matter. How disappointing, as I was finding this app very helpful.

Thanks, I’m not watching this ######. Season 1 was too woke already that I lost interest.

I couldn’t watch this because it was very woke to the point of being offensive.

“one of the main secondary characters squeals out a nonsense diatribe about how her boyfriend doesn’t own her…he’s been nothing but excellent to her and has never treated her as anything less than an equal.”
That sounds like real life!

Thanks for the great review! I was able to vomit in advance of the show, so now I don’t have to watch it! Yay!

Exactly. With a cast and concept like that (and, obviously, budget) I expected much better. I realize they’re pushing agenda but the money they have should allow them better writing, apparently an industry-wide problem.

*** Spoiler Alert ***
You are absolutely right. The moment cognitive dissonance hit me is when they killed off the Prime Minister and his chief female political rival in Reckonings. I thought, “why in the world did they suddenly end one of the better subplots of the show?” I didn’t realize they were hurriedly finishing the last season. Then the show started spiraling down a woke hole. At least, the Communists were portrayed as a deadly, lying, murdering enemy that were utterly destroyed in the end.
