    Fair. Don’t take this as pressure to watch this. But for what it’s worth, “Harry Potter but horny” is exactly what I grew tired of after S1, and they drop that hook pretty thoroughly.

    S2-5 is more like “there’s no such thing as a chosen one. We’re all just fucked up in different ways, and the only way to get meaningful change done is if we try to be better, together - regardless of if we ever manage to grow past that damage”.

    Except Alice. Fuck Alice, she never not sucks.

      Alice was the Hermione-ish stand in, right? What little I remember, I remember disliking her character the most.

        Yep. They changed her pretty drastically from the way she is in the books (which was probably a good idea), but way, WAY overcorrected. I also don’t really like the actor for the role, but that is secondary.
