I really enjoyed it! I loved the soundtrack <3 The cinematography was pretty great also, I liked how the world had a very retro feel to it, and you see characters using typewriters rather than laptops and mobile phones
For me Klaus was the sibling who totally stole the show, I’ve been a fan of that actor ever since he played Nathan in Misfits, and he was incredibly charismatic and engaging whenever he was on screen. I loved that final moment of him learning to control his powers alongside Ben. I was really expecting to get more of a backstory on Ben actually, it seemed strange to not even mention how he died, although I assume that will come up in the second season?
Five was another favourite of mine, that young actor was so good at playing a 58 year old man trapped in a child’s body, he really impressed me at how he managed to pull off scenes such as playing drunk (which he wouldn’t have any real life experience of obviously), or the scene with Dolores where he actually manages to make you feel sad at him saying goodbye to a mannequin
Hazel and Cha Cha were favourites of mine as well, I loved how the show had them with their somewhat mundane and typical work complaints about the bosses, only with the heightened reality of Hazel pointing out that wouldn’t it be nice to just do your own thing and kill the people that you want to kill XD I wasn’t sure what to make of Hazel’s romance with the old lady from the donut shop at first tbh, but I thought the show did a good job of selling it in the end and they were very sweet together
This will probably be unpopular, but I was surprised though to find myself struggling to relate to Vanya, even though she seems to be pitched as the main character/obvious audience touchstone? ( Read more... )
