Review of Alloyed

8/10
They landed it

Finally, dialogs that doesnt seems to have been written by corporative robots. We started to care about some characters that needed much more screen time.

This last episode give me hope for the next seasons because this one was a snooze fest that care more about checking boxes than developing characters. Finally, we have some writing that actually mean something aside from pretty quotes and advance a global narrative.

I dont care much about the chronological adaption. Yes, they squeeze 2000 years (ish) into one generation. But i think, it was necessary. Either that or kill every mortal each episode with a 100 year time jump. It would have been a nightmare, story wise.

The last episode doesnt redeemed the season, wich, in my opinion, was very badly paced with a bad focus. Some scenes were cringe and badly acted and scripted. While the visuals are always extremly pleasing, I did not care about any character aside from Durin and hi wife.

In this last episode, they had no choice to go full throttle, overcompensating perhaps for lack of rythm of the season.

One scene still drag for way too long and again, focused on the wrong characters.

I am hopefull for season 2. But please, kick the corporate boomer out of the writting room.
