Well, that’s flattering, anon! But, hmm, I don’t know if it does improve to your tastes, if you’re struggling to even watch. It may just not be your thing. I didn’t immediately rank it as an all-time fave back then, that happened after s4 when I was able to say, okay, I really loved what they did in s3 and s4, but I did like the first season. I liked Dutch and Johnny even when Delle Seyah wasn’t around. It was funny, fun, and HJK is just always going to be super gorgeous and entertaining to watch.
I really loved the deeper mythology that unfolded around Aneela, who casts a shadow over much of s2 but really only appears in 2×10 and after, but to understand her parts, it’d help to know about Khlyen, who pops up randomly from the start. Maybe skip to s3 and just watch the previouslys and pick up things from context and go ahead from there?
