We've been watching the series and managing to overlook the teen romance high school carry on as the basic premise and gorgeous world building has been enough to help us overlook the missteps, but Ellie taking the Crown of Shadows key home with her was just unforgivable.
I don't know if this detail was in the original comics or not but it was a back smashing straw of a clunky script that should have been corrected.
Ok so Ellie needed to take the key back to her house but find another way to make that happen rather than 4 dumb people didn't even think for a second that it might be the exact opposite of a smart move.
Make Ellie panic, make them have a fight and her leave,
This show has so much potential, just look at His Dark Material to see how you can take the material seriously.
This is a wonderful intriguing idea of a story and it does hurt to see it treated without the respect it deserves, and to see the audience also disrespected by serving this terrible plot device to us. How dumb do you think we are?
I love the FX, general story, most of the actors are ok and some of them are good, the setting, and the set design and props. Who ever designed the keys did a lovely job. Take it to Series 2 please but step up your game and make these characters and their actions at least believable. Thank you for making this show.
