let me just say: this show was just so overwhelmingly netflix. that's derogatory. sure, it had its charm in bringing to life so many of the characters and don't get me wrong the casting as well was pretty much spot-on, it's the writing that ruined the thing. the pacing was off. the dialogue was so elementary—AND THAT WAS THE WORST PART: this show has NO nuance in it's words. people say cartoonish things and the script was just so teen-coded idk why. i was so bored in the second half that i just watched the finale in 2x speed and didn't give af. i get that they wanted to cram the Crows and the Grisha trilogy into one show, but damn they did not waste their time and put a knife into the Crows' story coz c'mon man Six of Crows was such an intricately crafted novel and that just... does not exist on the screen anymore. Alina was highkey pissing me off the entire show because she just kept losing her personality and having no agency in what she does for the most part. Mal was cool, Kaz was cool too, you could say the Darkling was evil right off the bat, Jesper ate (MY GOAT WITH A GOAT HAHAHA HE WAS SO ICONIC), Inej my glorious queen was cool too, NINA AND MATTHIAS AHHHHFHDJJSE. okay i'll stop now.
