I really like this one. Is this one, a very compelling Narrative? No. Is it very stupid? Yeah, but it’s the entertaining stupid.
This Serial is, to me, 60s Doctor Who doing a B-Movie and doing it quite well, because it’s just really entertaining. Professor Zaroff is such an overacted Character, and I am all for it. His Cliffhanger around Episode 3 is iconic for a Reason. Similarly, we are continuing the Path of ‘Throughton being a silly total Menace’, which he does very well.
The setting itself is realized quite well for the most Part, I don’t really have anything to complain with it, it gets its Job done and is charming.
I think this Serial is a bit of an Improvement in terms of Polly, she feels much more like herself, similarly I really enjoyed the Chemistry between Ben & Jamie in this one. While the Side cast is by no means anything to write home about, they still are memorable enough.
