I'll have to admit, I've had a VERY difficult time getting into this series.. I guess I'm not a big 'fantasy-genre' fan, but I REALLY wanted to love this series being that Dafne Keen, who played Laura Kinney / X-23 in 'Logan', was the central character.
And I LOVED her in 'Logan'!!! It took me to episode 4 before I started watching it with my undivided attention.
Part of the problem for me is some of the dialogue: It's hard for me to take a show seriously when adults are talking about a group of child-snatchers and they bandy about a name like 'Gobblers' [because they 'gobble-up' the children] to each other, and no one breaks out in a fit of laughter at the childishness of the name... (I guess it's the same problem I have trying to watch a 'Transformers' movie with all the characters talking about the planet 'Cybertron' and 'Autobots' and 'Decepticons' and throwing out names like 'Optimus Prime' and 'Megatron' like these all were serious, scary things to talk about...)
Then there's the 'Spy's Fly'...
I felt like someone had switched the channel and I was watching a 'Spy Kids' movie...
I've never read the books and I'm thinking now that they are YA novels, so maybe some leeway should be given for some of the wording.. AND I know they are somewhat 'period' pieces set in some hybrid worlds that blend the fantasy elements..
All in all, I'm ready for the next episode which should aire tomorrow night.. (I actually didn't get all that pissed at this weeks cliffhanger as I KNOW Lyra's going to be okay, and I like seeing her on her own, defending herself. She's one tuff little cookie!!)
kev.
