- Still, it got me to read the book series which is similarly excellent. And who knows, there may be a renewal of the series? I've heard rumours?

Is this really just a Stuff You Like video in disguise? I'll let you be the judge. And hey, I have heard a rumour that all isn't lost for Lockwood & Co's future on screen. But I'll believe it when I see it.
Seriously though I LOVED the books, they are hilarious and very sweet, I could go on about them for half an hour, easily XD
Oh, also: buy my book! books2read.com/juststabmenow
Thank you for the review! ❤ We know, Netflix only owns the distribution rights for the show, so there is a hope that it will find a new home. Also, Complete Firction, the production company, hasn't told the fans to stop campaifning, so we do believe there is a chance it will be picked by someone else!
Oh my... a rumour you say ? 👀
If you liked these books, Stroud has another series that I read first and still like better: The Bartimaeus Trilogy. It begins as a two POV narrative passed between a noir-radio detective (who happens to be a snarky demon) and his "client", an over-ambitious magician's apprentice. Together they stumble headlong into a plot to take over the government of an alternate history London, and many snarky high-jinks ensue.
As the series progresses, the character depth scales quite well, and there are solid emotional punches to be had and great callback moments.
Please elaborate on this rumor...PLEASE JILL
YES IVE BEEN WANTING YOU TO REVIEW THIS
i loved the books and was super excited to see the show and how good an adaption it was. I’m glad you enjoyed it 😁
It's extra annoying it got cancelled, because the show runners knew how long they wanted the show to run. They planned to only need 3 seasons to cover all the books. They had an end point, and it wasn't even excessive. 😭
Rapidly coming to the conclusion that a) Jill liking it and b) Netflix cancelling it are two of the most reliable markers of precious stuff that people should be watching and enjoying. And yes, this show had a lot going for it and really didn't deserve the axe.
Im still SOOOOOOOOOO mad that the second season was cancelled. It was so fresh and interesting, plus all of the cast chemistry was incredible. So upsetting. It was barely marketed
It wasn't marketed at all in the US, just a wee bit in the UK,sadly.
Right?! I saw it scrolling on Netflix and thought it was something else because it had absolutely no marketing. I eventually gave it a try and it's honestly one of my favorite shows now. So upset season two was canceled!
What annoyed me was the reason, the cgi to was expensive, they blow a small nations national debt on Rebel Moon, but the modest CGI on this was too much...
@@kithric4878 sameeeee, here in Italy it was even hided in favor to advertise other boring romantic/sexual shows. I know there are petitions tho Idk if I can sign them because they are from USA or UK.
My 13 year old daughter took up fencing because of this series (books first then Netflix). She was devastated when it was cancelled.
Hope she keeps up with fencing anyways!
Netflix has been starting a tradition of making a good show and then dropping it for absolutely no good reason. There are actual oneline articles on it, and the possible reasons are fascinating. It's also a big reason why i dont bother with netflix 90% of the time 😅.
A friend put it best: "Streaming services are acting on; If a series does not start off like peak GoT/TWD, then kill it, instead of looking at the starting numbers for some of those series that did well, they are working off the wrong metrics."
she is back!!!! run protect the chesse
Wow, I 100% agree with everything you said. I was so looking forward to seeing how they would introduce and write Holly from the books. And quite frankly, making Quill Kipps from the TV show an eventual Lockwood & Co employee, is much more believable than making the book version of Kipps a member. Just a supreme job by the screen play writers and the casting director.
Lockwood and co the Netflix series is AWESOOOOME. I'll sorely miss season 2.
JILL! WELCOME TO LOCKNATION! 🥰❤️ I watched the show and enjoyed it, but then I got a mere chapter or so into the first book and was like… WAIT WHAT THE HECK, THEY CANCELLED A SHOW THAT WAS SO FAITHFUL TO THE BOOKS! I also absorbed them in about as little time as you! 😂
The show is legitimately one of the BEST and most-true-to-the-source adaptions that I have ever seen. They obviously made some superficial changes, like you mentioned, but kept the core of the characters/plot/setting/etc true to the books. I really had only 2 qualms (Skull wasn't unpleasant enough, and the change to the climax in the catacombs), but really--that's not very many qualms! I was devastated (but not surprised) when they cancelled the show. I hope the best for the young actors, for they all did a great job. I'm so glad you liked the show and the books!
If you liked Lockwood & Co, you would likely LOVE the Bartimaeus series by the same author. If L&C were a 9/10 on the witty humor scale, Bartimaeus is probably around a 14.
On your reccy I'm check them out at the library. Thanks!
YES! Bartimaeus is so good!
The best part of Skull in the books was how much he reminded me of Bartimaeus
I can't decide which I like better... it always took me forever to get into a Bartemeus book, but they always were fabulous.
On the other hand, I had a hard time living life and not just inhaling the Lockwood and Co. But I didn't like the end as much...
I love them both!
First picked up The Ring of Solomon in a tiny book store in Up State New York and loved it! Great series. I even used it as my Discord name.
I subscribed to Netflix for a month to watch Lockwood & Co on the strength of Jill's video about the fight scenes, and was not disappointed. I also watched Dune (too many compression artefacts) and Enola Holmes 1 & 2 (which I recommend) before my month expired, so I got fair value.
The Enola Holmes movies were awful adaptations. Got annoyed at the first one and literally couldn't make it through the second. The books are amazing, and do a much more believable job of fitting their feminist heroine into Victorian London.
@@The2wanderers Having never read the books any relationship to them didn't matter to me. I thought the films mostly stood up on their own, but I'll take your word for it that the books are better. That's usually the case with films of books anyway.
I watched the movies first, then read the books, and I like the movies until I read the books. It's kind of a "you cant go back and like them as much" for me. I think it's because I'm pretty aromantic, and Enola never falls in love in the books (they really aged up the Marquess in the movie, he's a little whiny brat in the book) and I liked that more. The movies are still great, tho
It's actually really fascinating because I had the opposite reaction - I loved the movies so read the books because people seemed to like them, and really wasn't impressed. I still love the movies, but personally wouldn't recommend the books. On the other hand, I read the L&Co books because I loved the series and read them literally 3 times last year as a palette/ mental cleanser and came away each time pleased (and yes, also am exploring his other series). It was excessively frustrating and stupid for Netflix to cancel this as well as Julie & The Phantoms and still for some reason keep Emily in Paris going despite the corruption topping the racism and statutory r@pe within the show itself. Like, what are we doing, Netflix?!? Two wholesome shows with loving fanbases and... this mess.
@@The2wanderersI personally didn't enjoy the books or films of enola Holmes, all depends on the person really!
The end of Season One did make me go back and reread all the books and it has continue to hold up as great world building, fantastic character dynamics, and a solidly plotted mystery series that just builds on itself in a way that I will forever be envious of as a writer.
I'M SORRY, WHAT? I WAS SO EXCITED FOR SEASON TWO!
Yeah man same here 😢😢
Sadly, it was, but check our bio of how you can help save it!!! ❤🫂
So was i
It was good, so of course Netflix axed it
I don't know if you've heard, but there's a petition to try and save the series.
The books are fabulous, the show was so good, and the Lockwood and Co books kept me alive during a mental breakdown
What!!?? The time I find out there's an adaptation I also find out it's cancelled! 🙈🤣
Liked the books a lot📖🥰
They really under marketed this show! Which I think was the main issue. It was great but no one knew about it because they didn't promote it!
@@whakkinell5762This seems to be a common issue for Netflix - they only seem interested in lowest common denominator junk. They'd rather lots of people watch something than a solid but smaller audience really enjoy something (even though they don't make money per watch, the entire point of them creating content is to have a diverse catalogue to attract subscribers, not for every show to have the absolute broadest audience possible).
it was an incredibly faithful adaptation!! netflix are fools for cancelling it!
A set of books that come highly recommended (do not look up the Disney film (they mashed up the first 3 books to make one film and still got it totally wrong and in the wrong order etc) is Eoin Colfer and The Artemis Fowl books
I loved Artemis Fowl so much growing up. The later books did get a bit odd in places though. The Arctic Incident is probably my favourite, though I suppose I would have to read them all again to check... :D
Reading Artemis Fowl to my kid was *great* fun! I didn't realize they'd been around so long - I would have also loved them as a kid 😄
@@thefaboo I had to read them because I was a children's librarian and part of the book awards
I decided a while back that I will treat Artemis Fowl as a 4-book series.
please don't remind me of that movie, I was burned enough as a Percy Jackson fan. Also, I seem to be the only person who likes all the books up to the Atlantis Complex, mostly because that's the first one I read (by accident) and the nostalgia is always there
Jill, we can safely welcome you into LockNation with this video of yours. I'm really glad you enjoyed the books. YOU GET IT. 😁
This show (& the books too!) is amazing, thank you for bringing attention to it! Why does Netflix have to cancel their best shows 😭 (also yes, the deleted scene is hilarious, you can really see Lockwood go through all five stages of grief lol)
NOOOOO THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT???
This is so incredibly timely as I'm just starting the third book now on a friend's recommendation and LOVING them! I was unsure about the Netflix adaptation, but I'm very excited that it's good and I can watch it whenever I want because I finished the first two books already. 😁
Ooooooh you're in for a fun time with the rest of the books and the show ahead of you!
I read the books because of your last video where you reviewed it, so I watched the series and then I HAD to read the books .. loved them...
Yes, the series was so good! It was so nice to see all beloved characters on screen, even though it didn't last.
Straight up: I don't start watching any new television series unless it's had at least 3 seasons. I am so sick of seeing stuff canceled on a season 1 cliffhanger. Don't end your season on a cliffhanger unless you have another season greenlit.
Unfortunately, unless season 1 sees a LOT of support, there will typically be no season 3. Not watching early means it will die before it gets to the point you want
But ending season 1 on a cliffhanger is the best a show writer can do to try to secure a season 2 greenlit. It gets the audience wanting having something to look forward to. It is unfortunate that studios often don't lease to the audience.
The Persuaders doesn't even end on a cliffhanger and I have STILL never gotten over there being only one season of that show!
I LOVE that you did a follow up video for this because your initial video introduced me to the series which I promptly watched and read in the space of about 2 weeks 😂😂
Made me so mad they canceled it!! This and the cancellation of shadow and bone :(
never independently heard of Lockwood and Co until now.
I bought your book this past Saturday, and I’m almost 200 pages in! As a young author it was incredibly inspiring and I’m so excited to see how it ends! I love both the book and the TH-cam series, thank you for making them!!
I just discovered this series a few days ago and was blown away by it. I don't normally binge something in one sitting but I couldn't get enough of Lockwood & Co. I'm incredibly disappointed that it wasn't picked up. I'm reading the books now just so I can see how the story threads tie up.

Lockwood and Co
1 year of LockwoodandCo
Handing Lockwood back to Universal Studios to revive the planned movie adaptation for Lockwood and Co. like it was originally.
Oh? Rumour? :o What is the rumour?
I need this series to return on our screens so bad, the book content is so good!!
From what I've heard, is that Netflix has the distribution rights to the series, but it was produced by a separate British production company, so Netflix doesn't own the show in it's entirety. The hope is that once Netflix's distribution rights expire, the production company can get someone else to pick it up and they can continue the show. I wouldn't get my hopes *super* high or anything, but there is a bit of hope there :)
I absolutely loved this show. The actors worked so well together and Ruby's RBF just made it for me 😂. I was so annoyed that Netflix cancelled it, but it did make me but and read all of the books - which is something, but I couldn't help but imagine what it would've looked like on screen 😢
Just got your book for my birthday. I LOVED it! I couldn't get over how well written everything was. I said the most unrealistic thing about the whole book was that Caroline's drafts were so well polished.😂
Can't wait for the audiobook, though, because I enjoyed the excerpts that you read so much, and I had trouble imagining all of your wonderful expression in my head when I read the rest of the book. So sign me up for that!
I also just read the books after falling in love with the show and agree. It made me sad to see how good of an adaptation it was. I had to greive no more show all over again.
Okay I finally got to TH-cam at 1pm my time which is a few hours after you uploded it and if you just heard a fangirl screech loud enough to be from a popular sci fi or fantasy series con pannel from the direction of the west coast of the US, that was me seeing the notification. Thanks for the upload and hope you're settling well into your new house.
The books are so excellent I was scared to watch the series cuz I didn't want to be disappointed but now I'm disappointed in a different way :'(
I have to say that i bought and then literally (but not literally) inhaled your book in about half a day. It was a very good read. It was fun to see how you adapted the webisodes in to a flowing narrative.
To predicate a SYL episode, you need to clean up and wear your pendant. Unless you have misplaced it for safety in a shoe again.
This was my little sister and is favorite book serene and they did the show PERFECTLY. Besides the weird romantic tension between George and the intellectual now woman due to gender swapping- I forgot her name. We were absolutely crushed when we heard it got canceled- and dang it Jill you just reminded me how sad that makes me! 😂 the snow was so bloody good. How do we get Netflix to change its mind??? Are petitions actually helpful??!!!
Not when it comes to building developments in my village 😂 Still, you might have better luck - I'll sign the petition too!
I have really enjoyed your "Stuff you like" videos in the past, and you've given me good reading suggestions. I've give this book a try, and I'd ask you to consider doing more "Stuff you like" when your plate is less full.
Thank you for your work.
I loved this show! I am so upset that they cancelled it!
Wait, there are actually more than 3 books to the series?
I think I ve read them 3 years ago and loved them back then but was very dissapointed with the ending of the third book and couldnt find a 4th back then (probably wasnt released yet).
Anyway I should give it another try :)
Yesss! The series is amazing! There are 5 books in total and the 3rd one is quite heartbreaking but the rest won't disappoint you. ❤
Oh my goodness thank you so much Jill for making this video. You have made Locknation and everyone in the save campaign so happy!!! ❤🫂
Definitely a great show and concept and VERY disappointed it was cancelled :(
Thanks for the reminder! I watched the show after your fight scene review and put the books on my Christmas list, but they were below your book so I didn’t get them (got yours though 😁)
Now I have to go see if the library has them.
If you are in the USA, at least the first audio book is available through Libby. Great free app !
The way I’m rereading the books rn cause I miss the show 😭
Netflix cancels shows after one season, cause they have to pay the authors a decent amount after that. They get a big discount on writers' fees and cast salaries and directors' wages in order to get the first series off the ground, but in return, they put increased monetary benefits for the cast and creative staff from series two onwards.
And then they skip on paying those out by simply not making any more series. If your show is not a huge enough hit to keep drawing in fresh subscribers, then Netflix will not be paying for further series. And considering how many people are subscribed to Netflix already, it should be no surprise to anyine that Netflix keeps cancelling shows after one season...
I love "Just Stab Me Now", and my kids loved the cover!
Yeah, i am also very sad!!😢
Can't wait for the 1940 Z! IMO, that's still the definitive Zorro movie, just barely edging out Antonio & Catherine.
I watched the show with my mom and we both loved it. Will borrow and read it from the library sometime this year, because it's too good to let go of.
Oh my goodness another Lockwood and Co video 😍 what have I done to deserve this gift 🎁
I was so upset when I saw it got canceled. I went on a rant to my friend for like 30 minutes 😂
Nooooooo, I was so excited for a new season of Lockwood and co 😢
Thank you! Finally some Lockwood love!!❤❤❤ under-rated as a book series and as a netflix series.
Mentioning "The Mark of Zorro", just wondering if you might ever consider a look at the 1920 silent film version. If only because 1. it would be interesting to hear your perspective on filmmaking and sword fighting from the dawn of cinema, and 2. that film still ranks as one of the most life-changing film experiences of my life. I saw it at a concert hall with the incredible Paragon Ragtime Orchestra providing live musical accompaniment, and before the film started a presenter came out to introduce the audience to what the theater experience was like in the days of silent films; you were not there to simply sit quietly and watch the movie, the audience was 1/3rd of the experience! You were encouraged to cheer for the hero, boo the villain, swoon for the damsel, gasp in suspense, laugh at the comedy. And I guess I drew the cosmic lottery because by the second half the audience was 100% committed to sparkle motion, and the energy that that enthusiasm generated was indescribable, aided by a fantastic film and a phenomenal musical performance. True, my mother and I both ended up almost bedridden with the flu by the time we got home, but despite that I will forever remember that and pine to relive that experience.
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the books!! They're some of my favourites, and now I'm here to rec the same author's Bartimaeus trilogy as well^^ there's a lot of similar themes but there is 200% more snarky, including snarky footnotes not unlike good omens, and one of the main characters is literally centuries old so there's a lot of fun historical flashbacks as well.
Now I'm going to go reread Lockwood ❤
I read the first book years ago as an adult and loved it so much I read the rest of the series in about a week. It’s so much fun. The author has a newer series called Scarlett & Browne that’s also excellent. (I confess, the opening lines remind me so much of Jill: “That morning, with the dawn hanging wet and pale over the levees, Scarlett McCain woke up beside four dead men. Four! She hadn’t realised it had been so many. No wonder she felt stiff.”)
I read the books ages back but bought the series for myself as a Christmas present and binged them over my holidays. So thrilled you liked them too!
Jill Bearup, I'm so glad you are back.
Your sparkling ebullience has been missed.
I love your hair today! As much as I want long hair tutorials, I am loosing so much hair every day I’m tempted to cut it short to see if it helps.
Please, please, please, do a Percy vs. Clarisse fight analysis from the Percy Jackson tv show
I loved your book It was very fun!
I DEVOURED this show, and I never watch anything these days. I watched it three times in a row, and loved it so much I bought the books...only for Netflix to cancel it. Pretty sad to see awful adaptations get renewed for multiple seasons but for actual good shows to be canceled immediately.
Your book is amazing. I sat up til 3AM to finish it.
Yes it was supremely disappointing to realize last year that the show wasn’t getting a second season, especially when enough people did seem to like it and it spent time on Netflix’s top 10 list. I’ve definitely gotten to the point where it feels pointless to like anything new and get invested because the likelihood that it will be allowed to grow and continue is close to zero 😂 and it’s not like they tried very hard to market it which just begs the question of were they going to cancel it all along? 🤷♀️
I don’t normally have Netflix (since I know I tend to binge watch too much), but decided to get it for the month of May.
Your Lockwood videos were why I checked out the series and I love it so much! Have you ever watched something and immediately thought, “12-year-old me would have loved this!”? It’s fun, creative, and the banter is top notch. Thanks for sharing and for reminding me that Netflix cancelling a show is not the worst they can do to it 😊 🗡️ 👻
Love that you’re speaking about this show!!
I literally bought the entire book series bc it was so good!! I’m really mad that they cancelled it >:(((
Watched this on your earlier recommendation and loved it. Meant to go read the books, but then got distracted by reading the entire Murderbot series in about 8 days, and forgot about them. Not reading anything now, so I think I'll give them a go.
Always happy to get a little something new for a series I really enjoyed.
I've rewatched the series numerous times and listened to the audiobooks over and over. The soundtrack is fantastic!
lockwood and co came out as i was going from child to teenager and they always came out in october or november and i always asked for them for my birthday and this is one of my favourite book series of all time. i revisited the first one when the series came out and they‘re still great as an adult. i honestly need to read the whole thing again because i forgot the ending but it is 100% the best book adaptation i have ever seen.
it‘s almost bizzare seeing people care about this so mucg all of the sudden because for a long time it was just me in my room with the book in my hand and when i first started getting into online fandom, there was nothing, this is great.
Finished your book JSMN! loved the story line, flow sorta hard to follow but the crossed daggers breaks were very helpful. Maybe a variety of crossed daggers for each universe? would be helpful. The authors personal life mixing in with her characters life was nice but plays better as video shorts vs book. With some minor improvements would love to see a second book.
Absolutely gutted to hear that Netflix canceled Lockwood & Co! 😔 This adaptation had so much potential with its thrilling storyline and fantastic characters. It's truly disappointing to see such a unique and well-loved series cut short. The chemistry between Lockwood, Lucy, and George was electric, and the eerie atmosphere of the novels was captured brilliantly. Here's hoping another platform sees the value in this remarkable series and gives it the chance it deserves! #SaveLockwoodAndCo ⚔✨
it feels like there’s no room for slow burn popularity shows anymore: it either has to be an instant overnight success with no marketing hinging on casting popular actors, or it immediately gets cancelled after one month circulation
Havent watched the video yet but i watched this after i knew it was cancelled expecting just a good show but ITS AMAZING! I read the books right after watching the first season like 4 times and it got me out of my reading slump 😭😭😭😭😭 this show will always be in my heart and i will always cry that it was cancelled.
Skulls character development throughout the series! 💀💀💀Oh I love him 🖤 wish we got to see the rest of the story unfold...
A decade ago, there was a Lockwood movie adaptation originally planned by Universal Pictures. Now that the Lockwood TV series was cancelled, it’s possible that Universal is still planning a Lockwood movie adaptation which would unfortunately NOT be connected to the TV series.
I adore the work of Jonathan Stroud- his "Batimaeus Trilogy" was a staple of my childhood, and a book that I come back to whenever I get the chance, and they're the best "Book you loved as a kid that still holds up 20 years later".
Strong recommendation for the 3 books of the trilogy- "The Amulet of Samarkand", "The Golem's Eye" and "The Gate of Ptolemny", as well as the prequel book "The Ring of Solomon", even if they might not give you the sort of material that makes for a good video. They're just lovely books.
Netflix just had the nerve to suggest I rewatch Lockwood & Co. I will rewatch it when you make some goddamn more of it.
So happy you loved the books, Jill! Still hoping for season 2
Ah, RUMOURS! The only thing more versatile than cheese 😂 I await further developments most eagerly 😉
I will never get over the cancellation of Lockwood & co, I genuinely grieve the characters and stories we never got to see on screen, Holly in particular, shes my all time favorite and im still devastated that ill never see her in the show
I am books fan since 2018 and I am adult. They are excellent. Was afraid to watch series, because it is almost always disappointing, especially these days. But oh gods, how good it was. It's been a year, and I still hope for the renewal, maybe on the other platform? This is a gemstone in a pile of rocks, really. Fingers crossed.
Thanks for spreading the world about my fav series, Jill!
Stuff You Like episodes are always welcome, stealthy or not. Adding this to my watch list!
I watched it before I remembered it was a series of books and I actually have the audiobook version of the first book. I loved the show and was so sad to hear it was canceled. It was just added to the list of Netflix shows that were really good, yet they canceled anyway.
I had the EXACT same experience while reading the books and realizing just how good of an adaptation the tv show is. Ugh, I love this series (both books and show) so much.
Yes! The series is so good. I absolutely loved it. The whole world building and characters and mystery and all the cool, supernatural stuff. Plus, Lucy and Lockwood have amazing chemistry. All of the acting is superb, but the actor playing Lockwood might be the best one - and it's his first screen job! I bought the first book in the series right after watching the show and I'm slowly (don't want to finish the good stuff too fast) making my way through them.
The only thing I can take from the cancellation of this great adaption is that the show got so many people - myself included - to read the books!
They did a lot of filming in Kensal Green Cemetery and used its name in the programme. I live near there and saw some of the sets, fake coffins etc during filming and have identified all the locations they used there. However, while the chapel they used is there, and has a working coffin lift as they showed, the catacombs they filmed in were elsewhere.
I actually read Lockwood & Co. years ago, and I liked them so much I bought them. (For context, I work at a library where you can check out any number of books for free, so buying a book is a sign of great esteem.) What really captured me was the lore - there was a definite, logical science behind the art of ghosthunting and -fighting. The characters were likable, too, but solid worldbuilding was the main draw for me. When I visited the author's website at the time, it said that there were talks in process of adapting it for TV, but nothing ever came of it, and I kind of forgot about it.
Fast foward several years, and I heard there was going to be a Netflix show. I was ecstatic but apprehensive (as I am anytime there is an adaptation of a book to a visual medium). How well would the producers translate it? Answer: they did FANTASTIC. It was so well done that while I noted the occasional change of ethnicity or gender (and viewers who have read the books always do), it wasn't jarring, because the characterizations were excellent. I don't watch much TV as a rule (and thus don't subscribe to any streaming services), but I binge watched the series with my brothers while visiting them, and I loved every minute of it.
I can't even tell you how devastated I was to hear the show was cancelled. If it were possible to crowdfund the production of a Season 2 (and 3, if needed), I would open my wallet SO fast. But I know that's not likely. It's just so frustrating.
Amen to all of this. So sad about the cancellation. Netflix hates me I guess.
I’m so glad you read the books! They are a delight.
It was so annoying cause I was like "hey finally a show with a cool world that sucked me in and it doesn't feel like garbage" and then nope, cancelled. I'm hoping Jonathan Stroud gets another chance with his Bartimaeus books though, despite probably being harder to adapt for a lot of reasons
Neat video, accentuate the positive indeed.
Hmmm . . . there is an idea that "Netflix-cancels-show-after-one-season" should just be all one word . . .
I love that show so much! So annoyed that it got the Netflix chop. I will now read the books based on your recommendation :)
yeah, I really enjoyed this. one of netflix's best recent.. so yeah, they cancelled it..
In the realm of Netflix series that don't get enough hype, have you considered analysing the fight scenes from Blue Eye Samurai? There's some epic fights from duels to 1 v an army, and some great uses of environment, and some awesome character writing alongside! (I would tentatively say even well written strong female characters! 😱) Would defo recommend.
