Best thing about the show are the actors! They truly embodied & give justice to their characters. I couldn't wish for a better cast because what we already have is the best! The acting is stellar, delivery of the lines is on point. GOD WE REALLY WIN WITH THIS CAST #ShadowAndBone
SOC & SB plot are interweaved excellently for me. Like the parts where darkling went after the crows then the crows, zoya, mal, alina teamed up together to beat the darkling, the archive heist, crows at the little palace. I LOVE ALL OF THOSE SCENES #ShadowAndBone
There were times tho that I feel like the the episodes are too short and fast paced and the transitions made it a little confusing for me. I was still able to follow the plot bec I read the books but I couldn't say the same thing for the non-readers who will watch it --
One thing also that I really like about it is the cinematography. There were shots where I had to pause to appreciate the landscape and I was like wow that was breathtaking. They were beautifully captured and I have no choice but to bask on how amazing it is.
The outstanding one for me is Kit Young. Jesper is a likeable character already but Kit's execution made him even more charming to me. You know he was at ease with the role, it was just so smooth and every line comes naturally.
There were parts that I am upset about but I know of them already because of the interviews. I still hope it ain't true but we don't always get what we hoped for. They really did Zoya dirty on this show tho Sujaya is an excellent Zoya.
We all know she's mean and petty but they added racist to the list. And at the end, she said she still didn't like Alina but her change of atittude towards Alina was kinda abrupt for me. Maybe it was because I viewed that her relationship with Alina progressed from -
bad to tolerable to good slowly on the books and I was just not expecting that they went from this to that in season 1 only. This will go back to my comment on how fast paced it has been for me.
An additional comment for the plot, they already unraveled things that shouldn't have been revealed. Well it's their show so they can do whatever they want to it but I'll still say my piece. It kinda ruin a special darklina moment for me when they revealed the Darkling's name
You know it was supposed to be part of his mysterious persona but I don't feel the same level of mysteriousness he has in the book. I guess they included his name to make him more human and not just someone evil that will be called The Darkling throughout the show
It just that his name revelation scene in r&r is very important and impactful for me. I also feel like they already bare him to the world instead of revealing his layers little by little
I maybe spouting shit here but let me share my opinion in peace. It's not like you will read this long thread anyway 😆
I have to talk about Darklina bec mam their kissing scenes are spicy and saucy and their chemistry is off the charts and I love their exchange of lines. The toxicity of this ship is very much obvious but how can I not be into them when their relationship is so complex
strangers to acquaintance to forest dates to kissing at the war room table to kissing again on the war room table to manipulation to you are not alone to who you are to talks about power to how there's nothing like them to fine make me your villain. It was very interesting
I shall continue this thread but I forgot most of the things I want say. I shouldn't have slept 😆
