Good news the whole thing is GOOD!! Last two eps were a little weaker than the rest imo but I really enjoyed the whole thing
Casting/performances was the best part, everyone was excellent, character really carried over or was even improved from the books https://twitter.com/parallali_/status/1385819762601578501

so many props to Archie Renaux in particular for just *bringing* it with Mal, they clearly knew what was off in the books and just made so many improvements to his character and perspective
it’s important to the story that we care about him like Alina does and dangit! I did!

SPOILERS from here forward prob so proceed at your own risk
I really liked the Crows added storyline pretty much up until the last ep, having them interact w Kirigan was... weird
He is such a large figure & they are supposed to be very small at this point still

Mal/Kirigan fistfight in the sand made me lol in a bad way more than once
Darkling backstory flashback was clunky (bad hair bad HAIR) but necessary so not too fussed (CGI for dead bodies was SO bad in this bit, I said “YIKES” out loud at one point lmao)

Ben Barnes got me feelin some kinda way the whole time but his argument with Alina in the tent in particular was SO GOOD from both of them
He’s all control (with slips that are *chef’s kiss*) and she’s all emotional highs/lows and it’s
So
Good

Everyone was perfect but Nina’s casting/performance was the MOST perfect, I am not taking questions at this time

ALSO thank fuck they cut that weird fight scene b/t Alina & Mal when he shows up to the Little Palace the 1st time
I cheered when Alina starts on abt her relationship w Kirigan &he’s like “you don’t have to explain yourself to me” & it’s just a NON ISSUE

idk if this’ll end up the minority or majority opinion but I’m glad they didn’t just go for the Alina/Mal romance immediately?
I *think* they kiss in book 1 but I’m here for the decision to either take it slower or just have em be ride-or-die platonic

I like the decision to make amplifiers that much more fucked up by having them need to be integrated *into* your body but I am a little sad to loose the Antler Collar As Jewelry Aesthetic(tm) for Alina

I think I’ll have more thoughts later as always, sorry this is a Grishaverse account now lmao
