Let's be clear: this is not a hard-hitting premier drama. In tone and style, it actually feels more like something from the heyday of the 90s or early 00s before shows like Breaking Bad or The Wire set TV on a different trajectory of "seriousness."

But because of the fact that dramas often seem like they're trying too hard to be the next great piece of art, rather than just entertainment, this show feels like a serious breath of fresh air.

It's often silly, arch, and campy -- and a lot of fun.

It might be easy to dismiss it as Twilight-adjacent, but the show is more intelligent and nuanced than that, while also giving room for the actors to have fun.

My guess is that if you liked the serious elements of Buffy, and the lighter elements of Outlander, you'll love this show.

For people expecting high drama or high fantasy, it may not satisfy, but otherwise this is probably the most addictive show I've come across in the past few years -- and it's miles better than the books.
