i'm watching it, I'm on either ep 7 or 8, and it does get better as the series progresses. Notably, when Blackbeard pirouettes onto set. I think if it hadn’t been all over my dash, I wouldn’t have stayed with it.

But the ensemble cast of characters do evolve to become wonderful and the various characters are both nuanced and rounded it their own ways. The ensemble is kind of lovely to see, rather than the crowd solely existing to be foils for Whatshisface and Thingymabob.

But… do I feel fannish about it… nah. Not yet. It’s good as is it. I get fannish about things where I see room to play.

Most folk I know are involved in 911 (and ilk) but I can’t get into those series—I loathe watching and waiting for the emergency to unfold on the screen. I’m really only fannish about The Old Guard, at the moment.
