What Did The Spy Think?
Although brave in its decision to tackle a world in which everybody is blind, for which it deserves every praise, the show's lack of multiple plots robs it of any dynamics and makes it a borderline unwatchable affair with bad costumes and uninspired sets and production design. Momoa playing the
same character for who knows which time in his career and the deeply disgusting character of the evil queen (with an almost ridiculously atrocious performance by Sylvia Hoeks) who prays by making her subjects satisfy her orally, which only has a shock value and no other purpose, makes this flat show even worse. I cannot imagine how Apple ordered the second season of something so crucially bad.
