 I guess the fairytale apocalypse is over. 

And even though I saw it coming I still hate that they used sexual violence against a teenage girl to hammer home the fact that that guy was a predator, because it felt lazy. But they’ve embraced all the other tv clichés so I’m not surprised they went there. I did like how Ish delivered justice though because with the way their society is set up,  the idea of a prison is a dream. 

I also liked the virus retuning, because  it ups the stakes a bit. 

But despite things picking up, the show has been pretty mediocre. Maybe a one time drop would’ve made it flow better. Had it been more than 6 episodes, I think I would’ve dropped it.
