Shadow and Bone: Rusalye (2023)
Season 2, Episode 2
8/10
How can the quality of two fights happening at the same time be so different?
21 March 2023
The hand-to-hand combat was abysmal this episode, the choreography was fine, if nothing special, but the silly sound constantly drowning everything else annoyed the heck out of me, making a passable fight into a terrible one.

On the other hand, Jesper's gunslinging was outright BEAUTIFUL to witness, some of the best gunslinging I've seen out of modern television. The acting is great, his flamboyant choreography might be off-putting to some, but it fits his character perfectly. The magical gunslinger was never a trope that appealed to me, but this one just works, and as a result, he stole this episode's spotlight in a single action sequence, much like last season.
