Falls into two common traps

1. Loses the sense of fun adventure to focus more on romantic melodrama or grim, brooding trauma. Scene after scene after scene of two people standing in a set making stone-faced pronouncements.
2. Only one character has a sense of humor.


If a show relies on a single person to bring levity, it needs to be sure that character is actually funny. The very bizarre performance by the actor playing Janzo is more embarrassing than interesting. And incredibly inconsistent.

I have no idea what kind of character they were going for. Is he a very intelligent? Is he dim? He lurches between these two depending on what they need him for that episode's plot.

And in season 2, he's all cleaned up and a...heartthrob? Except when he's not.

Missed the mark in a few areas. And I'm a fan of lower budget, campy adventure stuff.

You've reached the end.
