On this watch through I’ve become pretty convinced that this is six ~1 hour episodes condensed into 3 movies. Apparently the writer/director describes the format as a “hybrid of traditional television content and movies.” Hmmm…
For me, I think it works way better as a mini-series. It’s the only thing that explains the severe lulls in the tempo as we pad out some backstory. This is entirely forgiven in TV shows but absolutely skewered in movies.
Since my first watches, I have grown to love the little world and lore set-up here. I think the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
Also, it’s got a feminist streak a mile-wide, which I am here for.
