lovely series so far

last night i watched episode 3

Spoiler:

very enjoyable scenes with Auntie M (Medusa) also nice hearing Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) from Christopher Cross at the end of the ep love that song also the soundtrack btw is same composer as for The Walking Dead (Bear McCreary) shows how versatile he is


anyways, comparing this series to the films, not bad acting work either from these teens
