Hansel and Gretel gets a Russian updating in this whimsical, but oh so pointless story that uses the 'fairy tales are real' set up to little real effect. In the sober light of day, she has to enter the witch's realm to get the curse lifted. Pretty drunk, Kenzi calls on a witch from her childhood days and curses Dyson to be hated by all women. The supposed comedy around the house-tidying Brownie falls dreadfully flat and even Ksenia Solo's usually fun Kenzi can't make it work. The dream stealer is revealed early on, so the mystery here is fairly short-lived and the twists that it tries to hide until the end are predictable and dull. Topīo's investigation into why a whole building's tenants have lost their minds leads to bad dreams and brings her into conflict with the arrogant new Ash. The rest it is made up hints about darker storylines to come (Trick's real identity, the struggle to get Dyson his love for Bo back etc) that fill out the rest of the running time with meaningless, pointless codas.Ĭonsidering the build up that the episode gives to the hunt, it turns out to be a total damp squib and the way that the rules of the hunt are outwitted isn't half as clever as we might have liked. The main plot here is slight and at least ten minutes short of the running time. The election of the new Ash is to be decided by a stag hunt, but the Stag is a light fae who has one last request to make and makes it of Bo. The pace of the plot doesn't leave a lot of time for banter and character stuff, but that's likely to follow in future episodes. The plot is pleasingly complex, pleasingly gruesome in places, but is blessed with a massive anticlimax at the end, something that plagued the first season. Bo must stop them, but Dyson's return complicates matters with his strange attitude toward her.Ĭribbing its plot from the legends of Arthur (land linked to the mystical leader, swords and stones etc) this opening episode of the second season hits the ground running and makes no attempt to fill in any new viewers on just what's what. The Light Fae are in disarray and a travelling group of cursed Fae use this opportunity to seek out mystic weapons to sever the land from their control.
