“The actors are doing their best, I suppose, and the world-building is interesting enough, but the writing is uneven and flat. As such, I didn’t understand anyone’s motivations.
Why is this character so warm and affectionate? We’ve barely interacted with her! Oh, but she says that she views the protagonist as a daughter. When did that happen? Do they even know each other?
Why is this other character in love with the narrator? They’ve met like three times. Oh, but the narrator is also in love. When did that happen? They *definitely* don’t know each other.
It’s all like that. Why is anyone doing any of the things they do? Unless the character takes the time to spell it out for us (which happens more often than you’d hope to be honest) we don’t know. The script feels like something written by a fifth grader and then polished by a production team; I won’t be back for season two.”
