So I recently started watching this show (and finished Season 1) which is apparently based on books. I reaaaaally enjoyed, nearly at GoT levels! A lot of female mains which was nice. Can’t wait for season 2. Has anybody else seen it? Thoughts? Theories for Season 2.

Its a bit scary, but depending on your DD I think it would mostly be okay. No real nudity or sex scenes that I can remember, language wasn’t particularly foul, but don’t quote me..

I’ve read the books. Found it interesting that the very pale blonde main character is now Asian looking at that this is now used to justify suspicion and abuse of her. I tend to agree with an Asian heritage critic I read who said if you’re going to insert an Asian in that role, it might be nice to think a bit harder about how it affects people, when you haven’t provided any positive scaffolding around it. In the books, both Mal and Alina are fair. Here’s a typical fan art. Other than that, I think they’ve done a bang up job, though I’m not sure inserting characters from Six of Crows is doing the Alina story any favours. That said, I’m really enjoying Kaz Brekker and his crew. Might actually be the best characters in the show (like I said, not really doing Alina, Mal and the Darkling any favours). Well worth watching.

We’ve watched about 3 episodes and are enjoying it is far.I’ll see how it progresses for me. We are all a bit surprised the fantasy lovers in the family haven’t read the books so they have been downloaded.
