I was watching this show Talamasca, but after the main character proved himself to be a huge dumbass episode after episode and the only interesting character — a witch named Kevis — got killed in the same ep in which she was introduced, I stopped watching it.
It’s not good and it’s extremely repetitive. It needed more of what Kevis brought and less of everything else.
“the only interesting character — a witch named Kevis ”
Very bizarre storytelling…. give a character a major character introduction and then knock her off almost immediately…. makes no real sense. Were they trying to sucker punch the audience or did they not realize how much the actress did with Kevis?
Elizabeth McGovern is doing what she can with her underwritten character (and Burton in the first episode had promise) and I even like the idea of a vampire listening to Georgia Satellites, but the main character is just a black hole of infantile anger and dumb-assery and I keep wanting terrible things to happen to him.
I’ll probably finish the season but wow, what a waste of potentially interesting source material.
When Kevis was introduced I was like, “Wow, she’s obviously going to be a main character for sure, so we’ll have something better than that impulsive, clueless sop of a protagonist sometimes!”
And then the writers fridged her right away. I think they didn’t realize how much the actress brought to the character in such brief screen time. And if they did, really failed to capitalize on it. I was almost yelling at my screen when she was killed off.
Jason Schwartzman was good as Burton, though. The show had so much potential, so poorly realized.
