A Murder of Woes (S01E08)

Oh well. As expected, nothing was surprising about the first season's finale. What I started suspecting in the second episode proved right, so the only thing that could save me from complete disappointment would have been a perfectly handled confrontation with evil. However, that did not happen for several reasons. The local Voldemort was a pitiful and uninteresting figure, the CGI wasn't very impressive, the sudden loss of the main heroine's abilities was a typical contrivance of incompetent screenwriters (yes, I have seen this many times before), the gods popped out of machines like jacks-in-the-box, and the whole thing felt dull and haphazardly put together. But it was enough for its target audience. / Lesson learned: Like a fool who, as a child, considered provoking the residents of a wasp nest as an exciting experience (until the actual execution), I can confirm that neither a shotgun nor a pistol will help a person against enraged stinging insects :-) (05/19/2023)
