I enjoyed this a lot for the most part, the acting was good the story's were involving and the special effects were very well done, especially on the Birch her twisted self, of the double story arcs I liked the one with the Wiccan-esc misfit girl with the purple hair who witnesses a murder the most, I thought it went on for one episode too many though and it should have ended with that poor girl being dragged down under the ground into the Birch's cold embrace, the story felt wrapped up fine right there. I liked the other story with the strange girl being held virtually captive by her seemingly cruel foster parents...until it becomes apparent that her story is an elaborate origin story for where the Birch came from, uh I really thought that was rather unnecessary, I like the idea of the Birch being a lethal dark spirit of vengeance and nature personified who mercilessly slays the chosen victims and does not treat those kindly who abuse her unearthly powers of the wood, a lethal benevolent and savage guardian, not a former human girl with silly mystery powers who confusingly transformed for some reason when she finally used them to their fullest and whose own reason for having said special abilities was never made clear, I did like how it gave the Birch an added element of tragedy, for on some level she is still a mother and a protector who lost her own child in life and exists in death to mercilessly protect the innocent should they call upon her in times of desperation, but on the other hand that was a daft thing to do, as any monster is more powerful and intriguing when it has a little mystery to it! So in closing, I think they did a decent job with this series and it was a gripping and satisfying one to binge on one go! Hope they do more as good as this in the future, later! 🌳 💔 💀
