What an absolute banger way to start the new season! Any fears I may have had were proven wrong. The sense of humour, zaniness, absurdity, yet with the thrumming pulse of a big tender heart, are all still intact from season one.

I love Ruibo Qian's turn as Zheng Yi Sao. I mean, obviously representation galore. But also I love the sultry timbre of her voice, strong and powerful, and her facial expressions promise an awfully great performance to come.

Lovely to see the New Zealand coastline already being put to beautiful scenic use!

So happy to see Spanish Jackie be a part of it, and the Swede really is husband material, I'm glad he's getting his happy ending. One down.... several to go.

Also I already deeply dislike Ricky but you gotta give the actor his due, he threw everything into every line and it was great.

I think a lot of fans knew things aboard the Revenge would be pretty grim, but... wow. Like, wow. But I was so JAZZED to see Madeleine Sami. Between her and Ruibo we're going to be getting some good female contributions to the ensemble, which I know was one of the few notes many had about last season.

I really watched this one and thought, oh yeah, we are SO BACK. I knew this was going to be a wild, but great, ride.
