    Such a great start! The premise isn’t very original, but I trust the story to go places we don’t expect!

    They went a little too clownish with Aniq, which I didn’t love. Season one was strong, so I’m going to save judgement until we get further in.

      Fair point, thought it was a little over the top with him at times as well.

      Despite that, have been enjoying it so far. I just try to take it as it’s presented, a goofy whodunnit played for laughs.

        Definitely. I watched the second episode and it’s clear we’re getting hyper-skewed, stylized, unreliable narratives/recollections, so I think he maybe views himself as clumsier and more foolish than he really is.
