sometimes i will look at a character and go "oh they're totally trans" and be wrong but the reason is never because they're perfectly cis. it's just that the character would be happier if they were allowed to not fit into the traits and expectations of their assigned gender. basically some characters are too rigidly confined in the expectations of traditional masculinity/feminity and it makes them unhappy--while they aren't necessarily trans, getting to live outside those rigid confines would make them way happier. but other times i will look at a character and go "oh they're totally trans" and be completely correct
- Poynton is a Faustian nightmare, and Adrian Lister did an absolutely fantastic job. It felt like he was channelling Othello in his magic scene. He's an excellent villain
- Rassalas/Amadin and Roxy are really cute
- I didn't realise, but the actor who plays Charles is Frank Dillane. He played young Voldy in Harry Potter 6, and his father is Stephen Dillane, who played Stannis Baratheon in GOT
- Polly Honeycombe is perfectly named
- Sofia is a Goth Queen
- Louisa Harland had fantastic chemistry with everyone and was just generally a badass
- I don't usually care about fight scenes (Princess Bride aside), but the choreography looks good to me
- tonally, the show is pretty inconsistent, but it kinda works? I appreciate things which can be serious and can be funny, can be dramatic and have honest, human moments
- v strange to think that Tottenham was ever, well, sort of a village. If you've not been there, it's now an especially rough part of London with a rather nasty MP (super antisemetic, still received like 70% of the vote in 2019, if memory serves)
- Joely Richardson looks like she's having a blast every time she's on screen. Good for her
Finally:
- I adore Nick Mohammed when he's on Taskmaster, and he's delightful in this, too. I certainly wouldn't mind having him as my guardian angel fairy imp thingy
