I like this show very much, but am docking 2 stars for the loss of the character Alex which was to show that 'there are consequences and add it adds reality' to paraphrase the blurb I read. I think that viewers have been misread about this. Some may go for it, but I'm sure that I'm not alone in hating the loss of major characters. It isn't reality that we're watching, it's fantasy and you can always leave main characters alone to satisfy the viewing public, especially when the loss of one is not true to the book. Don't upset the fans, as happened in Harry Potter when too many of the well-loved characters were killed off by the author; Game of Thrones which had illogical, annoying and sometimes ludicrous plot lines and poor writing, especially the ridiculous finale, and some sequels including a couple of Star Treks and Star Wars where characters bound together by adversity and love are then shown as separated through circumstances etc. It doesn't wash. The kind of love that has endured through thick and thin, endures through thick and thin, and strong characters have strong characters, if you see what I mean. Producers and writers are so bound up in themselves, taking themselves too seriously, that they sorely misjudge what the viewer wants from fantasy. Drama, yes, but they want their major players to emerge intact from bad situations. The loss of Alex is a loss to the strength of the cast.
