Review of Rusalye

Shadow and Bone: Rusalye (2023)
Season 2, Episode 2
7/10
Good story, abysmal choreography
17 March 2023
All in all I am really liking this second season and the actors are doing a good job in portraying their characters. The dynamics are great, a bit of intrigue is kept alive and the plot is not too contrived. The CGI is really good and even though some of the costumes (privateer-group) look a bit too obviously like plastic and don't make much sense (tiny, thin throwing axes) it is alright!

But what really threw me off this episode was the terrible fight-choreography. This is not the actors fault, but clearly just bad writing. The last 20 minutes of this episode where honestly hard to endure as the cast was just flailing around and made the most illogical and dumb choices in a situation of life and death.

This could be really great show if the writers would put a bit more effort into the fights.
