I tried to watch the first episode maybe 8 months ago and saw the huge spider looking monster in the first scene and thought it looked ridiculous. I quit watching it right there and moved on. I was stuck inside a couple weeks ago and after reading some reviews decided to give it a second chance. I am so glad I did. I watched the entire season that weekend. If you like fantasy and magic definitely give this a try and don't let the first scene scare you away. I am a sucker for that stuff but feel like most times it can be slow getting to it. Not the case here. It kind of gives me GOT vibes with the going back and forth with different storyline that meet up. I think its much faster. Witches, dragons, monsters oh my, its got it all in the first season! I don't think i was ever bored with it. The only thing is I am still kind of confused on how the law of chance or whatever works. I really have fallen in love with this show and the characters. When the storyline meets up BAM end of the season. It leaves me wanting more but that is no surprise. Can't wait for the next installment.
