I argued here that the whole HP shit was worth it because it was going to imprint in the consciousness and brew beneath the surface. Libs see it as tainted and that shit isn't going away. There are real moral concerns bothering them deep down.

FB1 was mid at best lol
The plot beats were nothing special, but the actors were funny and had chemistry. The main guy got to be an animal geek, and the sad cop realized cops sucked and that this animal guy was more her level.

So of course, the sequels immediately contrived stupif reasons to split the party and doubled down on the grimdark stuff that just barely held together in the first one
