So, I’ve already dropped the sequels to #MisfitOfDemonKingAcademy & #ByTheGraceOfTheGods because they just dropped me into the middle of a huge cast of characters that I could barely remember.

Now, let’s talk about #InSpectre (my thoughts on the first episode of the previous season are here: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2020/01/12/in-spectre-2020-first-episode-impressions/)

Too many characters? Nope. The lead duo ONLY* with key interactions re-established.

Too much unfamiliar content? Nope. Basically a monster of the week to get viewers back into the swing.

* Well apart from the monster of the week and the deftly played Greek Chorus of Yokai whose commentary served as a useful refresher on the rules of the series. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GreekChorus

THAT’s how you do it when there’s nearly a 3 year gap between seasons.

Sequels not doing well this season. Dropped, and also dropped #ByTheGraceOfTheGods S2 - that wasn’t bad, and I do remember enjoying S1 well enough.

But if I’m struggling to remember characters, and struggling to remember why I should care, well, meh.

(Same for #MisfitOfDemonKingAcademy)

Let’s take a look at S2 of the #MisfitOfDemonKingAcademy
