They changed half the cast almost arbitrarily and I spent the first 20 minutes being like :jesse-wtf: trying to figure out what happened.
Apparently there was like a 15 year time jump or something but most of the characters that didn't change actors look pretty much the same.
Anyway, the show remains very mid, but this bugged he hell out of me. I kinda feel like they went through all the trouble just so they could have a young looking actress get mostly nude in the first arc. Either that or some galaxy brain scheme to save on labor costs.
Feels like it's moving both too fast and too slow in different ways
The timeskips feel off but also how in the hell is it taking the king this long to die? He was old and sick in the first episode
I knew some people IRL that are both sickly and ancient and yet took decades after that observation to die. Every single one of them seemed powered entirely by spite and Fox News.
I like that his life is dragging on and on, but damn they keep cutting to black as he's passing out tricking you into thinking he's dead this time.
:so-true: The walls are closing in
