The series was off to a slow start, season 1 I found to be more unnecessary. It serves more as a prequel to explain why Mina Abrams (Allyson Moyer) is after Daisy Peterson and how she serves to help set up the plot and action, but season 2 is levels better. I'd say start with season 2 then go back and watch season 1 if you really want to but it's not really necessary. There are more Easter eggs than anything which why I wouldn't require you to watch the first season. The premise is original and fun, and it seems to get darker as you proceed.
I really like how they give the other characters in Gan Adan some screen time where you can understand them more. Shevan (Terrell Cooper) has a wonderfully written speech in episode 12 of season 2, where he explains Fox's parents and why he follows Rath's command. Rath (Steven Acedo) has a great and eerie speech in the finale and you just end up understanding why they're doing what they're doing. The Fortmount characters aren't exactly great actors. That's my only really negative comment about this. Priscilla, played by Briana Celia and Bethany, played by Jorgie Mason were the only ones in my opinion that did a great job. Melanie Tornroth, could have done better. Yes, there were times where she was great and those scenes were usually with Monroe Hayden who played her love interest, Fox. Together, Melanie was at her best. Their chemistry was oozing off the screen and they sold their kisses. However, she did not do a great job with most of her lines with other actors. There wasn't any feeling in her words and her facial expression stayed the same so there was no indication that she had a soul. Ricky Garcia also needed work at times. He said a lot of his lines so slow that I wanted to sleep. The actors in Gan Adan were very good. There is no doubt that this is Monroe's show. She nailed every scene she was in and took me back by the amount of emotion she was able to bring at the drop of a hat. She played Fox in such a nontraditional way that it was alarming. There were times she was so charming and careless and as the scenes proceeded you could literally see the loneliness the character feels and the weight of being "The Chosen One" getting heavier and heavier. You could tell she voice acted before because her voice would get so soft and breathless in emotional moments and it was absolutely heartbreaking. The best actors by far in this are Monroe Hayden and Terrell Cooper.
Overall, this show is great and I'd share it with my friends and family. Keep an eye on this!
