s04e08 — Baptism of Fire

It's still hard to watch it after reading the original source. Before the announcement of the cast for Regis, it seemed that at least he would be able to spice things up a little, but alas. Not only does he absolutely not fall into the type, but also the role seems to be absolutely not his, although the actor is quite good. Milva.. Oh, well, it's like there's no Milva at all. Maeve almost dropped my jaw at the moment, even though I'm trying to convince myself not to be surprised by the lousy casting. It's already a tradition in this series. I was probably pleased, though only slightly, with Filin (Stefan Skellen), and even then with a big "but". I don't even want to talk about the plot, its simplifications and changes anymore. Alas, an absolute disappointment:(

Well, the season is over.
The authors tried to follow the canon at some points, but they were still caught up in some kind of heresy. Starting from these monoliths, continuing by killing everyone right and left (which I generally want if they killed Eskel, dad, I love him very much), rewriting the canon of Kagyr, changing the race of the characters, ending with the fact that Emhyr hired some kind of beast. (I honestly can't remember such a moment in the book). In general, Emgyr is some kind of tube. He doesn't scare me at all.
The only line that came to me was Ciri and the Rats. Leo Bonhart is just as nasty and smug. The head-cutting moment is just as disgusting to me as it was when I read that he came in the series.
Geralt is officially from Rivia. Without taking any points, in general, his campaign is similar to a book one. There are a couple of dumb meetings with Radovid and Dijkstra.
I thought I loved Jennifer. But it seems that the showrunner loves her more. She doesn't live through everything that was in the book at all. She's a bit too Mary Sue here. Everything is working out, everyone loves her. And Philippa and I are friends in general.
In general, thanks for some canonical moments, but in general it wasn't worth it.

Sharlto Corley, what are you doing here? The actor is awesome, I love his projects, but here... Damn it, how much did you pay? X)

What kind of cheap fanfiction did I just watch? Everything is kind of childish and looks cheap and unrealistic, as if the fans gathered and filmed a sequel....

The battle on the bridge is not as spectacular as in the books, but at least it has not been completely fucked up. Although it was possible to remove the terrible episode with the battle of the magicians and fully show the bridge on Yaruga. Ian created a box in which she had never been, and she was partly against her (yes, in the game she was the main engine for recreating the box, but there the situation was tougher, and even so she was not in it, and the main one, as before, was Philippa, who asked Geralt, if everything works out, take Ian away, otherwise it would be somehow ugly to deny her membership in the Lodge, which was recreated with her help), after which protos went nowhere (Skelege?).

On the plus side: Leo Bonart is almost the same sadistic maniac. I hope he will continue to follow the book, Ciri will learn a good lesson from him under all his actions on her.

The season itself is 5/10, if we take it as a separate work, like the film adaptation of "The Witcher" — 2.5/10 (better than "The Last of Us", but it's not difficult).

The fifth season is the final one, and it's already clear that we won't be shown everything that was in the books. The question is what will be removed: Tusent or Tyr na Lia and the entire branch with the king of the Alder people and Eredin, or everything will be removed altogether. I'm afraid they can say familiar names in one sentence, as was the case with Avallak, but it doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not.

Wait, is this the whole season? Isn't it the half that Netflix divided into two parts? Yo, if season 5 is the last, then they won't have time to play out there - they won't fit anything.

⠀
⠀So-so season.
⠀
⠀Milva was the best of all.
⠀ Nimue was also introduced relatively normally . But they won't have time to develop and show her line in any way, the chances are too high, and she will remain a passing fan-reteller of the story about Geralt.
Jennifer had too much, and she was too far away.
⠀

What was that? 🤦🏼‍♂️
There is no season at all, how to put it mildly. It definitely should have been closed after Cavill left.
I can't imagine how you can cram everything into the final season and not descend into even greater absurdity.

Yes, it's a good season. Better than the others, perhaps. More canon, less bullshit, which would be nothing if it weren't so mediocre and dumb. This series has great events. They gave me my bridge, and I'm happy. I really liked Cahir this season. And Regis turned out better than I expected, he speaks quite canonically and his voice gets to the gut.
Bonhart vs Rats - I can't raise my hand to write 'good', but it's powerful. After Ciri's arrival, I even started to feel something, it was played properly.
I think Toussaint won't be here next season, and I'm not sorry. With this Fringilla, it's even a relief. Although Buttercup dropped Anarietta in the fifth episode.

the moment when I know for sure that I have to stop watching some TV series without regrets.

I liked the season more than the previous one
He generally looked through the force
But I still don't understand how it was possible to screw up such a franchise.
And at the same time, I understand that if someone is going to restart , it will definitely be in a dozen years.

I read books 15 years ago, and not all of them, I didn't play games. I don't know the plot and canon, I don't remember, and therefore I can adequately evaluate the series - I liked this season, the Witcher's recast was generally normal, I didn't bother my eyes, I really liked the whole branch about enchantresses (Ian and Philippa ❤️), the branch with Rats was wildly annoying, and how I rejoiced in this series (well, really I didn't feel sorry for them), so this thug is a credit, I hope his actions will bring Ciri back to her true self, but so far I don't share at all that everyone is shaking because of her (looking for, saving, dying) and she's doing shit. That's my IMHO, fans - don't miss it too much)

I probably disagree with many comments, the season is much more dynamic than the 3rd. I watched the 4th, and began to review it for comparison..The gene is good without presentation, but there is also a but... Gena is a playable character in embody!!!Just one "Hmm, Contagion!" and we're in Game 3 of The Witcher, the "Contagion" is brutal, and in this version, I personally liked the facial transformation after the elixir, and there are many good moments! The multi history of Regis, for example. This is a film series based on Sapkovsky, after all! Where at least one series followed the canons??? I can't even remember a movie where the scriptwriters and the entire cast went according to the canons!!!Do you want to minus the ones I liked!!! Liam the second, after all, did a good job!

I once thought that professionals in their field would work on the Witcher to try to reveal this universe and their characters to the fullest. It's going to be a cool cast, great acting. Musical accompaniment. And the level is something like Game of Thrones in the fantasy world, only in the witcher universe. But Netflix decided to shit their pants, and for fans to make a series for one or two evenings, which they won't even remember after watching.

In fact, there were no expectations, what to expect after 3 seasons from Netflix with a cast in the form of a black pampushka by Keira Merz and a gay Buttercup, and ignoring the original book, but I enjoyed it, it went pretty cheerfully. Hemsworth is quite good, the staging of the fights is excellent, Leo, my respects. But the ending with the little one killed me: but what happened to Ciri? Smiling and enthusiastic, the girl took the book.: And now I'm going to tell you how Leo Bonard chopped rats into bloody mincemeat with all the details.

It's the fourth season, and people are still complaining about the miskasts. That would be something to be surprised about.

Regis didn't inspire him, Fishbourne is cool, but it's completely out of place and doesn't seem to fit the character. What can't be said about Leo, he's just as sadistic as in the book. Sharlto Copley is incredibly good, he plays beautifully.

There was an excessive amount of Jennifer, as if the actress had a special contract and she was brought to the fore with the whole Box. It definitely wouldn't be worse if there was less of it.

In general, the season is even OK, despite all this fanfiction, it's even a pity that next season is the last. This means that they will gallop through the plot and cut up a huge amount of material.

P.S. Purely two bros in paphos:

The season turned out to be weak — 5-6 out of 10. There are very few witchers in it. There is almost no difference between Cavill and Hemsworth — not because they are similar, but because the script itself does not give an opportunity to reveal itself.

It's not a bad season in the end, even though this whole season is about preparing for the finals.
I'm looking forward to Jennifer and Geralt's epic battle with Vilgefortz.

It was nice to see Tissaya in the "illusion", she was one of the most beloved characters, And the way Vesemir's death was played out, they just wrote off the NPCs, horror! And how Geralt reacted to the news of his death, no way!!

I'm also glad that the rat squad arc is over. I don't know how it was according to the book, but judging only by the series, this is ala "six Ravens" on minimums. Leo Bonart 🔥

I'm sorry, but this is the most boring and ridiculous season for me (

Let's assume that the series is based on books...If it wasn't for reading books, then it would be quite a good series. Therefore, let's abstract from the original source and just look at what was called the Witches, then it will be quite acceptable and interesting.

The whole Internet: "in the book series, the first two volumes are really good, the rest are filled with water." Comments on maishous: Oh my God, how could they do this to a masterpiece...

The whole season I felt like I was watching some kind of passing generic series, without my own universe. If you'd put the heroes of the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars in there, it would have looked the same.
In my opinion, this Ogre is the same before animation as in the Lord of the Rings))
Cliché on cliché, exaggerating to a dainty dwarf.

As for me, this is the best season, although there is some kind of dynamics, the previous ones went through the force, this one in one go. The new Super Witcher

The season turned out to be much closer to the canon than the previous ones, so I don't understand why the ratings are so low. Even if Regis changed his race, it doesn't bother me. Bonhart is also well-chosen. Considering what the scriptwriters did in the first two seasons, it's not an easy task to get everything back on track. Vesimir was leaked, but he doesn't really play a role anymore. They just decided to add drama at his expense. Liam, like Henry, plays wooden, there are still no witty comments from Geralt.
In general, it's not bad, I'll even wait for season 5.

Tris is sweeping the yard... No, well, of course, we need to start restoring Arethusa from somewhere, but...
and that's how they do it. ©

I also read the arch of rats in the book one line at a time, which is boring.
Liam fits the canonical witcher more than Cavill, and that's fine.
I don't understand, do they want to put the end of the books and all three parts of the game in the next season?

When Milva Maria the squirrel fell off a cliff into the water, she thought at least after such a miscarriage. And how glad I was when Regis found out about it at the 16th minute. I'm like, Oh, yeah!

The toothless queen knighthoods the witcher – smiled, and immediately beheaded rats and into a barrel in front of Tsyri /Falk

Pooja's cameo was the best of the season 😆

I was skeptical about the witcher without Kevin, but strangely enough, the season went very easily, and in some places I wanted a more sullen witcher, although Jennifer compensated for this season.

Damn, in the most interesting place.
I liked the season. I didn't really notice the Witcher's replacement. Liam still managed to win back.
The season turned out to be rich in fights and action.
The ending, of course... I'm very sorry for the rats.

Well, are you glad you didn't kill me?
I haven't decided yet.

The season is great, I enjoyed everything.
I hope Netflix gives us an epic ending in the year 26.
In general, it was a road adventure from the three sides of the main characters and so far their roads have not crossed yet.
I didn't get any rejection from the lead actor, so everything is fine.
There aren't a lot of fantasy series these days, so this saga is going great.
And I read books in fragments, leaving them in the middle, so I have nothing to compare them with)

I have not read books, I have not played games, I perceive the series as something unique and independent.

That's why I liked the season in principle. The plot is interesting. The fights are beautiful and exciting)
And in the final episode, as if the humor was not bad, it was on her that the jokes were more "at the box office."

The new cast isn't always right, though. The new Geralt is not bad. Leo may be an antagonist, but he's a charismatic guy!
And here's Regis... There are no complaints about the actor, but the character did not look like a vampire, but like Basilio's Cat on minimums (except for animation, everything is cool there). Rats are weak too - you can't even empathize with them. They were killed so terribly, but in fact you didn't get into the heroes and you're neutral.

So, personally, I'm looking forward to the fifth season. I'm waiting for fights and carnage, I'm waiting for action and scale!

As for me, Regis, Bonnart and Filin were the best written in the books. In fact, the series is interested in scenes with them, but... Fishburne somehow passed by, Skellen was fucked up, and Leo was not allowed to roam to the fullest, although even this is the best of all. The death of the rats and the events that were taking place didn't bother me too much.

The kneading on the bridge is normal, but the rats were somehow dealt with quickly) Leo Bonart is fierce)

Type did not play it ponano, but the series was just shit, and remained

One of his favorite moments in the book was where he cleaned up the rats. This was also well shown here. And he knocked Ciri down.

Geralt's recast came to me. Hemsworth is a good fit. There's a lot of action in the season, and it was the witcher (Geralt, Leo, Ciri) who looked good. I'm not saying anything for magicians. Sneaking out from under the horse. Leo Banart has an ideal cast. The top antagonist. How he smashed the rats in the finale. Oh. And the actress on Ciri is now in her best years. Pretty kick-ass. I've been enjoying it all season. Regis, despite the fact that it doesn't fit outwardly, minus that, the image is well conveyed. I liked. Like Milva and the Dwarves. In general, the best part of the season is the adventures of Geralt and the ala Fellowship of the Ring company. The rats and Leo are in second place. Of course, the cast for Ciri's girlfriend is a failure, but the rest look normal. The lines of the enchantresses and Vilgeforts of the team are kringe to the 10th degree.

On a high , he passed the rats 🤣 Krasava 👍

God, what a passing "something" season. No, everything was shot at a high-quality level. But for the last episode of the season, in which there were no events promoting the story, practically nothing changes in this series.
As Jennifer was looking for Velgiforts, so she is looking. Just as Geralt went after Ciri, so it still goes. Just as Emhyr was looking for Ciri, he is still looking for her. THREE FILLER LINES. Well, Ciri got rid of the Rats and got some kind of development, and this is literally the only thing that was good and really moving in the season.
If you skip this season and start watching the fifth after the third, it's like you haven't missed anything.
I'm even ready to accept Kevin's replacement, but the filler season is mostly blasphemy.
Leo Banart is the opening of the season, but in fact his arc will only be revealed in the fifth season.

There's too much left in the books for the last season with their pace - at least two would be. In any case, they will cut a lot, but imho it's not scary, as an independent work, the series looks great. All the same, the author's stuff is "based on motives", that games, that old Polish, that this one. If you take off your pants, it looks great.

The recast and casting are good. Regis is not, but Fishburne is too charming, you get into it. I'm used to Hemsworth in the middle. Kim Bodnia - there was a gorgeous Vesemir, but Yaxley from GP is also convincing. Bonhart is great!

The season feels small, as if nothing much has happened. But Liam is fine, he's pulling — although it's not like there's any acting overachievement here, to be honest.
The Hansa suited me fine. Cahir, my dear, I've been clinging to him since the beginning of the series.
Well, Ian is good, there are no words. All the money saved on wigs went to Anya for a wig — it looks gorgeous.

The choreography of the fights is simply magnificent, from 5-second skirmishes to epics for 15-30 minutes. By this stage of the plot, the witcher had already kind of stopped doing professional work - not up to it, but they still introduced monsters, the atmosphere of the games was felt in a new way) Xs, the overall impression is that they are doing the whole project very heartily. It's coming in, although the deviations from the canon are quite strong. It seems to me that if you take it as a separate work, the series works very, very well. There is very little beautiful, juicy fantasy right now.

What was the season about? About how Ciri was searched for and never found.
What would the next season be about? About how they will search for her again and will not find her.

Guys, can you tell me if you want to watch season 4 first, and then the movie about Rats, or vice versa?

Why couldn't Jennifer have transported them all to where they were going before she went through the portal, if there was such an opportunity, so that they wouldn't have to look for any river crossings and save a lot of time?

"Don't you want to suck my bells?"
"I'll think about it..."
Ahahahaha what for 🤣🤣🤣

No, it's really surreal, especially the final episode.
Ciri's line is about nothing at all🤦
But there were also advantages, Jennifer's line was very pleased with the individual Fishbourne Persians, Sharlto and dwarves with a dwarf, and so on ... there are nuances... big nuances…

P.S. Who looked at the rats separately, did something come out?is it worth it or not worth wasting time on this? It's just that Dolph is registered in the cast, it's interesting to see him in this role.😅

Naruto's filers intrigued me more than this season of the Witcher. It's a cheap parody that takes place on TV3.

Well, for all 4 seasons, at least once, but you can say that the scene of killing rats was quite a success.

I do not know how they will fit everything else into the last season) the events before the wintering of the Hansa, Toussaint himself to show, Ciri and the arena, Ciri and other worlds, the final batch, the lake, plus it is necessary to catch up with the drama at the end... Just 5 minutes each... And considering that they come up with a lot of extra stuff... In general, most likely the druids will be in place, and the campache will stomp right to Vilgeforts. Will they even omit Ella?

It's always hilarious that Geralt just wanted to get to the other shore and accidentally became a knight. That's probably all of the pros and cons. Leo came out pretty good.

I imagined the battle of Rats with Bonart like that, plus or minus. It came out tough and powerful. In general, I think that Bonart is a 100% hit. Charisma and fierce anger 👍🏻

Dialogue on the boat
"The open sea will start there soon.
- Is the sea salty?!
- And what, another superstition?
- No, it just corrodes the skin. I'm a vampire 🧛♀️
"Aah...."

I dedicate you to lytsali, gald and Livia 😅😅😅

I feel sorry for the rats

Everyone loves "The Witcher" for its psychologism, deep existential dialogues about good, evil and motherhood /fatherhood.

In general, Leo Bonhart and his battle with Rats are the only bright spot in this whole creation.

Remembering the season in a week's time, only the rat massacre will come back to mind.

Bonhart cut the entire story from the series.
OK, go ahead ;)

Buttercup is purely D&D mechanics: flew onto the bridge, used the inspiration of the bard, ran away 😀

The only thing I've enjoyed all season is Leo Bonart and how beautifully he showed the rats who they are)

The whole line of rats/rats went in the style of some anime or candy Carnival. It's like watching a cheap parody of Pirates of the Caribbean or one Piece.
And then rrraz! Guts from the abdomen, blood from all the holes and sawn off heads. This was not the case in any series of The Witcher. And the age limit was immediately supposed to increase by a couple of years.
But with this amount of guts, the nude scene wasn't revealed anyway.

The last episode turned out to be quite cheerful. As far as I'm concerned, it's a great end to the mid-season. On the positive side of the fourth season, The Witcher (I got a recast), Bonart (a charismatic uncle) and Regis (despite the fact that he turned a little black).
There are fears that all further events will not be crammed into the fifth season and the end will turn out to be crumpled.

Oh, Bonart's battle with the Rats is, in my opinion, the best thing that happened in the series, very spectacular, bravo to the actor!

When Leo dealt with the rats, it was such a mess, just honey

Everyone is thrilled with Bonart, I agree it was cool. I especially liked how he moves extremely fast, faster than Geralt in the entire series.
But there is one thing. His key description in the books is lifeless "fishy" eyes. And here the actor is too emotional. The best of the season, but not 10 out of 10.

The season ended as if it had never begun - I just got into the taste, and now the credits are on the screen. It feels like they've shot all the fun in mid-sentence.
The main characters talked all season about looking for Siri, but for 8 episodes they never got down to business))
The recast didn't bother me much in general, but Liam Hemsworth didn't have the charisma to win back the Herald.

Ahaha. The kids were playing gay pride in the basement, and then the janitor came and dispersed everyone)

Of course, I didn't watch the season (I quit after the first one), but the last 20 minutes are great. I looked at them and was satisfied)

Recently, there have been 3 series based on good franchises with great potential. How about this, Alien Porridges and the new season of the Witcher, where everyone is terrible in their own way, everyone has become complete degenerates and everyone has their own tiny fan base of the same degenerates who, with their face smeared in chocolate (no), are shaking and telling everyone how delicious they were. A truly epic battle for the title of the worst, only one will win.

The fight was equal, three shits were fighting.


Judging by the ratings, they only watched it for Cavill.

I liked the scene with the rats at the end.
But mostly it's hard after the book.
If you don't read it, you'll probably go)

I tried very hard not to be biased. But the recast didn't come to me, for me the Witcher is Henry. Liam has 0 chemistry with Ian. The bed scenes are just a hand and a face, as if they were being pulled by strings in different directions. The second half of the season was more or less interesting, but in general it was difficult to watch. It's a pity that everything turned out this way, but I'm glad that many people even kind of liked it.

How colorful Bonart turned out to be. That's not how he went into the book)

There's a special episode released yet, for some reason it's not on the website.

Everything is fine with me 👐🏼 I've read books twice. I've listened to audio books twice. And I immersed myself in a familiar story after watching this season. 🙌🏼

Fuck, there was a lot of howling about the new Witcher, but the scriptwriters are great, they just screwed up the whole plot of the season, that the new Witcher is the last thing that bothers.

And this is seriously the last episode of the season, are you kidding me?

It's an empty season. One of them was walking somewhere, but he didn't get anywhere. The little one was doing some shit, which ended up being terrible. Jennifer's line had at least some kind of outcome, the creation of a new magical union. The witches dragged me in shorter.

Liam looks like a kid who was given the role he dreamed of at a matinee, no severity, just smiling eyes. And a very weak swordsmanship, they could have trained him better at least in this.

I rarely find fault with the series of this genre, but here I was very bored.

Ahahahahaph, I loved it when Bonhart fucked those stinking rats. In general, it's funny, of course, that, in theory, all viewers should empathize with rats and hate Leo, but the creators of the Witcher took everything so seriously that Bonart arouses more sympathy than the "positive" characters whom he literally dismembers alive. Bravo netflix

Apart from Henry Cavill, I don't see any other actors for this role.

Please explain, where has the Wild Hunt gone? Did Ciri stop being interesting to them because she gave up her powers? But she's of senior blood anyway.
Or is it because she can't be found?

The season turned out to be so "impressive" that when people watch it, they pay more attention to the minor characters than to the main ones - Leo, Skellen, Milva, Reggis and others. Netflix has distorted everything so much that viewers have to wander around like in a maze, looking for positive moments and avoiding piles of droppings from the authors of this creation.

In general, the only thing that comes to me from season to season is Buttercup and his soulful voice and facial expressions, and Philippa's images and outfits.
The rest is like that. The background is not scary.

On the last series I put 4, but only thanks to Leo

Just for the sake of Sharlto Koppli, it was worth watching

Yeah, that sucks. They decided, apparently, to overshadow Cavill's absence with a mediocre script, no main characters and a bunch of guts. Such a low-grade parody of the IP turned out this season. As they said, it's like I watched a bad fanfiction.

Well, I got used to it. The first episode didn't come at all. and the further it went, the more it went...

I don't understand what the point is to come up with some new plots other than books, and shove them into the season, and then end the series on the 6th (or 5th?) the season..milk this cow to the end already, the benefit of the original source allows.
I was also skeptical about Hemsworth, but Geralt himself was shown so little, which is normal. Thank you for giving Buttercup his short haircut back at least in the musical, otherwise I like him less with these locks. And it seems that we were promised another trick from him, but alas.
The rats and Bonnart are canonical, thank you.
Of course, Cahir is more sympathetic in books, but I persuaded myself with grief to get used to this actor in half.
Regis is a bit miskish compared to the books, but I like the way Morpheus played it.
In general, the atmosphere, the music there, periodically caused goosebumps, as a fan of books, I didn't have any high hopes for the adequacy of the screenwriters, but that's what it is.

The season turned out to be neither fish nor meat..
Sometimes it's interesting, sometimes it's too fake and naive... the whole Rat thing was infuriating, especially Ciri's "girlfriend"...
the Witcher looked noticeably younger, as if he had gone on anti-aging treatments, thanks to Hemsworth's fresh face, there was no usual sullenness from his appearance, a kind of good-natured guy who periodically grunted... Well, okay, we have what we have...
who knows how, but I'm waiting for the development between Cahir and Nilva.. I haven't read any books, but it seems the scriptwriters are ready to bring them together...

And where did these horsemen of the apocalypse - hunters go? and anyway, where did the whole line with Ciri's power go? why and how her father became a White Flame. other interesting lines are silence.
I don't really like this season. I rewound the scenes with Ciri. I liked some crap
about a villain and a vampire who looked like a gray-haired Cossack.

gooooooood

Battle on the bridge and beautifully cut out all the rats. It's kind of weak for the season finale. But the whole season turned out to be rather weak than even average.

"So it turned out that one witcher and one Nilfgaardian allied with him shouted, brandished their swords and without hesitation rushed forward, two companions, two friends, two comrades–in-arms - towards a common enemy, into an unequal battle. And it was their common baptism of fire. A baptism of common fighting, rage, madness, and death. They were going to their deaths, they, two comrades. That's what they thought. After all, they could not have known that they would not die that day on this bridge spanning the Yaruga. They did not know that another death was destined for them both. In another place and at another time..."

I was waiting for the scene where Geralt fends off two arrows flying at Buttercup with his sword, "for the first and last time in my life":(

In general, it was shot on a very low budget, some kind of monster was added... why?

In the book, this scene, after a more or less measured tone of narration, was a real climax.

Here, with these wretched inserts about enchantresses, the whole effect of the scene was killed.

And why Maeve doesn't have gray hair, it was a very cool detail:(

But in general, the parts with Geralt's hansa were very good.

It's a pity that next season is the final one.
Probably everyone will be cut.

It's a pity that Netflix doesn't have as much desire or resources to reveal the universe as they filmed Game of Thrones. Such a story is being overlooked, which could be milked and milked..
Everything is kind of cardboard, the taste is identical to the natural one)

Okay, for the whole series, I still found something that I liked. Leo is a straight good hit and the carnage scene is well staged.
Otherwise, the series looks like a declaration of professional incompetence by the entire showrunner team.
