It's quite difficult for me to fathom the drop in quality from episode one to episode two. The first episode was one of the most magnificent television productions I've EVER seen. Beautiful visuals, huge budget, tremendous performances, a good translation of the source material; everything was absolutely marvellous - as close to perfection as it gets.
Episode 2 however, has reduced the show to (so far - I'm only halfway through) what can only be described as lacklustre young adult fiction. It's uninteresting, boring, the budget is halved. The performances are not in the same key as the the premier episode.
I don't have much else to say.
Apologies to the creators for being critical, but there is drastic drop in quality from episode one to episode 2 - so drastic that it's obvious to basically anyone.
Hope everyone is doing well either way.
