Started off rather well, though with key characters either too whiny or just unlikeable, it wasn't a roaring start in any way.
It sails on fine enough and then by by episode three one sighs knowingly that this is the sort of over-extended series that throw you too too many red herrings, many unnecessary and time-eating scenes that go nowhere.
And oh yes, we need to cater to the crazy woke folks with a totally unnecessary lesbian setup which of course again goes nowhere and fits nowhere in the plot structure (or over- structure).
And the last episode - let's throw in every cliche, every kitchen sink, tap, and plumbing too. Yup. Carnival, Explosions, Ghost sheeted villains, and oh yes make all the baddies die at a go and leave all the innocents miraculously unblemished.
Wait wait. Make the whiny one do a stupid 'brave' act and let everyone forget the dire financial situation he's in which btw the over-stretched behemoth of a 'series' took pains and pains to set up.
Wait wait. Let's make the hardened one atone her past with a cringy visit to her old nunnery.
Wait wait. Let's top it all with a cherry-cringe, and make the overly meek one become the laughably over-brave and assertive lioness she's now become. Huh? 😂😂😂
Seems like no one can make a tightly well-written nicely shortened with little trimmings series anymore. Sigh.
Finally. Ok. Cinematography was good. Fullstop.
