A fun fantasy, with some deeper themes hidden underneath. One of these themes seemed to be the classic “Man is the real Monster” trappings. In almost all the monster of the week style episodes, it turned out said monster either was human or the monster was reacting to humans being terrible.
And most of the named human characters don’t come off too well, but there are some who you end up rooting for more than others.
And the lore of the show is slowly revealed to seemingly be a cycle of conquest. The action is well done, and the performances are great across the board.
My only gripe is that the way the show goes back and forth in the timeline gets really confusing at certain points, and I’m not sure it made things better. But overall, i would recommend this.
