Shadow and Bone: Show Me Who You Are (2021)
This episode got me hooked
As someone who never read the books, I didn't see a lot of these twists coming and they were enthralling in my opinion. This is terrific acting, storytelling and visual effects that basically forced me to binge the remaining episodes. One thing that really stood out is the pacing of dialogue, progressing the story and dramatic/comedic timing - these were noticeably great from all sides in this episode.
By the way, those complaining about "wokeness" are honestly just revealing their outdated discomfort with same sex scenes - Jesper's mid heist romp like a felt natural step for his character and introduced a lusty, reckless dimension, much in the same way we saw a surprisingly pious side of Inej with the summoner and multiple folds in Baghra's intentions this episode. Alina is great here, and Kirrigan struck the perfect balance of intrigue and darkness (no pun intended) as usual.
