Insubstantial But Fun
14 February 2023
This YA series has interesting ideas and a likeable cast. The world-building and character development are economical but the premise isn't difficult to follow. The tone and effects seem appropriate for the intended audience. The show never quite manages the sense of danger or intensity it often teases and conflicts are routinely resolved too quickly and easily. As a result it can feel insubtantial. Conversely it doesn't get bogged down by the ponderous pace of many shows that try build tension and drama. There's a briskness to the plot that helps sustain an affable momentum and keeps things engaging.
