Hope the season gets better from here

I hate to say it but this ep was boring. I know they need a chance to set new characters & plot points up, but it was seriously uneventful. I went from being keen to watch the whole season in one hit to feeling the urge to switch to something else.

I'm also so extremely disappointed to see a lot of great characters gone. I was looking forward to the newbies but this episode didn't highlight any particularly likeable ones.

Finally, I know that this is set in a world where the UK has pseudo-US style schools so Moordale was always a bit fanciful, BUT... this new school... come on. It's ridiculous. I know Gen z are wonderfully switched on & inclusive, but this was just pushed to the point of irritating.

I'm still going to keep watching. I have my fingers crossed that, even if it's not the best season, at the very least, the beloved characters that haven't been banished into the ether will get a satisfying finale.
