Agreed! I'm at ep 21 and the silliness of some of the scenes is hysterical and frustrating simultaneously. I'm reminded of daftest elements from certain lakhorns, Indian serials and Bollywood films, where logic need not apply. Some risible and fake CG in some establishing or action scenes. More worrying is how romanticised some of the angst-ridden dysfunction and downright physically abusive scenes are with the main pair, which the following scenes doesn't even address! So dismaying and immoral. This could easily be triggering for some victims.

What a waste of some truly talented actors, An absolute mess (albeit, an aesthetically pleasing one). I'll give the book a go, though.
