I heard about it before but haven't watched movie or animated adaptations, mostly because I was never interested.

What actually picked my interested was the setting of the TV show and the whole mystery thriller approach (in a way I thought it's going to be more world building oriented)

Now here is the thing, I like the show for most part but towards the finale, everything felt like half measured and rushed to an ultimate disappointment final climax.

Why build all that tension and plot around supposed 'destined' nemesis, only to have it handled so poorly.

The second season really needs to address this. The show had a strong start and then mediocre attempts to keep you engaged, for me at the very least started everything to fell apart somewhere after the episode 6.

Now, there is a lot of promising material lay out for season 2and the character building and characters have not disappointed but this show is not all about that, it has overarching plot that needs to be handled better.

Another thing is the whole we have all this supernatural beings and casters, but we are not sure how to handle them, as in trying to keep everything mundane, while undeniably dance at the edge or magical.

It just doesn't work. Second, we need more context of the world around. Like, more about outcasts and normies, how exactly do they come to live together in some sort of neutral agreement and etc. More about Nevermore, the show totally missed the spot there.

I get it, majority watch this as plot around one of their favorite family members, that is makeshift Elena Sherlock, but seriously though it won't hold for long and the show needs more subsistence if it is to continue with more seasons (and it has potential, as far as producer's imagination goes really)

For me this was fun to watch for most part but it left conflicted and not so much engaged. At the end, i didn't really care about unsolved mysteries, it didn't grip me to hold my breath until the next season, for no other reason than how awful last two episodes were and how sloppy 'curtains are down' reveal wasn't handled (not to mention cliche)
