E7: Opens with the Tokyo Alley fight that Silvera discussed in our interview.
And it’s a sword fight. A decent one at that.
This episode is worth the watch because the creation tale comes together. Plus the sword fight.
E8: The season finale. It leaves a lot unresolved, open ended for next season. There's a major mcguffin but overall, it left me wanting.
Ultimately, I feel like this failed to capture the comic. It only told a few of the dozens of story arcs in the comic, and it told them in a laborious fashion. I would've given up on it earlier but felt obligated to see it through. I'm still perplexed about why Netflix wanted Den to interview Silvera. He does some nice work here - the superhero fights are the best part of the show - but they are too few and far in between. It was fun to chat with Silvera, and I made some money off that, so it's all good.
I do like Chloe. She's the standout gem here.
Reviews are poor but viewership is high and Netflix has invested heavily in Millarworld - the new cinematic universe from the creator of JL. Consequently S2 may already be greenlit.
For DOOM, fast forward to the fight scenes. E1 is watchable, then skip to E7, and if you're still watching, might as well check out E8 but prepare for disappointment.
