The dialogue is especially strange and the acting is passible in places, but everything else about this show falls pretty flat. People saying that they're "taking the story back from Marvel" and saying that it's educating those who "think Marvel tells the actual story" are idiots. Not a single person thinks that anything Marvel does is comparable to Norse mythoglogy, and if you think that this show does Norse mythology actual justice then you're very wrong. Yes the scenery is nice, yes some of the acting is fine, and yes it's competent in places and makes for average entertainment, but the many aspects of it that were straight up bad or painfully meh could not be ignored. There are quite a few parts where the show does something funny without realising and the characters are very inconsistent and clumsily written with moments that are comparable to the damn Twilight saga. The climate change message is also welcome, but poorly done.
Overall this isn't really worth your time unless you're looking for a dumb teen drama to laugh at or if you just want something on in the background while you scroll through Twitter to feel good about yourself for having Netflix in the first place.
