Review of K

So I understand not liking it but some of these reviews make it sound worse than it is. Let's start with what it did well. It is rather pretty and frankly, the world is fun and interesting. I would love to see more of the world because there are definitely some other things that can be done. It was really good and for that alone, I fun watching it. The story was a bit much especially towards the end (not the actual ending that was a great way to end it though, it was just the last few parts). It kept doing twists and theyweren't all that bad but again after a certain point, the twists went from interesting reveals that furthered the mystery to reveals that were there just to rush the story ahead when it didn't earn it. The reveals they showed towards the end while not necessarily bad were definitely premature.

The characters were fine but nothing amazing. Some say they were all the same (loner silent badasses) and while I understand that criticism I think there are enough different types of characters that it isn't fair to say that. It is mostly the kings who are like that and that is sort of commented on and makes sense for what they are going with. Now what can't be forgiven is that they don't develop at all. I can't think of an example of a character being developed and some really needed to be developed further to make the characters better. They should have fleshed them out more at the very least. They have really interesting characters with good concepts but for them to work in the story and to make the good concepts into good characters we need them to be fleshed out and they weren't which was disappointing

I think someone said it best that this is a 24 episode series that got 13 episodes. The plot needed more time and so did the characters. Plus the world was interesting enough and a lot of it was left hinted at and unexplored that it would have been entertaining. It had a lot of potential and it developed that potential further but it just never paid off.

Ultimately I had fun watching it and if you are interested in this and you want something fun with some good potential to watch then this is for you. If you're in the mood for something serious and better developed then stay away.
