This show was INSANE. I went in completely blind, not knowing the premise at all, and I was HOOKED. I loved the concept, and it was so strange but also really funny? and dark at times too. The pacing was a bit slow for me at times but the balance of humour and more serious moments kept it entertaining throughout.
I loved the concepts it played with, and the look into identity and what makes a person themselves. I think Mark is a really interesting protagonist, and the mystery built around it all is really engaging.
I hope they look more into Helly's outie as a character too, as she's really interesting. Overall this show is SO GOOD and done brillaintly. If you haven't seen it go watch it RIGHT NOW!! 10/10.

This season took me a while to get into. The start was great, I LOVED faith, shes one of my fav characters now, I love what they did with her and all her complexities, she felt really well written and interesting, and I love that they left potential for her to return in later seasons.
Buffy and Angel's romance this season was also so sweet. Theyre always a couple im surprised to find myslef liking. Buffy is usually a hit or miss for me as a character, as sometimes she can be really annoying, but also she's always really well written.
I didnt like the creepy cordelia and the watcher stuff, i'd say shes much better with Xander but then again no one is. Talking of Xander thank god he got a bit of a back seat this season.
Willow's arc becoming a wiccan was interesting, especially the vampire willow ep, but I feel her character had very split relevance this season. The finale was great fun to watch, though the wrap up felt too rushed.
Overall it was a great season even despite it's flaws 7/10

This season was probably the worst of the show. ive been watching the show since it started and they did the characters so dirty with this ending. the first half of the season was alright, the mystery was interesting enough, but the last 3 episodes felt like an insult. So many plotlines were left unresolved, as well as the ending feeling rushed and like no fucks were given.
Its honestly so dissapointing to see that after all that, they said the only solution was to erase themsleves from hisotry, rather than face their trauma or find a better solution. Dont even get me started on Five and Laila, that was so so weird. 2/10 it was genuinely insulting ending

I LOVED THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!!! I love all the themes and I think the characters are all very interesting in their own ways (they are all insane) and i love them. my favourite was Claudia (i love characters doomed by the narrative) and louis, tho he is a very unrealiable narrator, but i think that makes him more interesting.
I think it was really cool to see the difference between s1 and s2, the frist really sucks you into the story, and into louis perspective, and then the second takes everything you know and slowly turns it on ur head, and its amazing. By the end of it I had no idea what i could and could not trust, and the show plays amazingly with how memory distorts, and can be used in our favour and against us, even by ourselves.
There is so much more i could say about this show and i will probably write a longer post at some point. 10/10

This season was so good! It felt a lot more interesting than the previous 2 seasons, and the emotional moments also felt stronger. I loved that they finally gave attention to Soren and his complicated relationship with Viren. Talking of Viren, I think they handled his redemption well, though he is still very unlikable in my eyes.
I liked that they had Callum's arc mirror Viren's, however I feel like they solved it way too easily or quickly. I loved Raylas storyline in this season, and it felt so heartwarming and sweet.
I also liked that they went back to focusing more on their wider themes of the next generation and peacekeeping, and I also liked how the season eneded, a great cliffhanger, and a perfect set up for the final season. 8/10, I really hope the next season is as good as this.
