Wayward
i was pretty disappointed by the time i got to the end of this :/ there's a lot of interesting set up with no real pay off
leila, abbie, and rory's actors were all really impressive, sydney topliffe was most compelling to me! i was pretty interested in the storyline at the academy (that's what i came to the show for), but it was never fleshed out enough bc we kept going back to laura and alex, but nothing rly happened w them? i don't think i understand the conclusion of laura's storyline or the cult in general. maybe i'm just bad at symbolism, but i don't rly get the door motif either🤷🏽♂️ if i'm just dumb i'm happy to own that <3
anywaaaaay, ACAB. i love having diverse types of queer representation, but i was so bummed by this. like the point of alex (and everyone else's character in this) is that he's complicated and not fully likeable, and as an audience we must find ways to empathize with him since he's one of our main POVs. but i don't want to try to empathize with a cop, let alone a violent cop. boo :(
...still sad about daniel, kid should've made it out
