I thought this was supposed to be comforting
I thought they did a great job for most of the show and I felt like I went through all those tough times with the characters. Then ML was packed off to Switzerland. I guess Sam-dal had to succeed on her own without him telling her to chew and it was his dream but come on. They only just found each other again. Nope, suddenly they can do anything and cope.And the next thing: no real closure on the villain character. I guess she got cancelled too but we could have revelled in it a bit.
Overall I found it a great watch until the end when I found myself very grumpy.

It gets there eventually
The good:There are many good moments littered throughout the series. Humour, sadness, interesting events.
It was nice to see Quebec City, a place I’ve been to many times, be featured so prominently. The old town is really a magical place in all seasons.
The casting was good. It did take me a little time to warm up to the ML but he won me over in the end.
Visual effects were definitely good enough. No real complaints. Some of the more practical effects were good - not everything has to be CGI.
The bad:
The real let down for me is the soundtrack. I am not usually so conscious of the soundtrack in a show. I’m sure it’s having its intended effect but it’s felt rather than noticed. However some of the songs repeated throughout the show were grating.
It was hard getting past how much of an unpleasant person our ML was for the whole first half of the show. You have to be messed up after that life but that’s a long time to have matured but seemingly not do it. It somewhat saves the age difference issue since ML and FL both acted like children together.
The pacing in the middle section was pretty slow for me.
Overall I did enjoy it and would recommend it to others who like supernatural stories.
