This was pretty good. It reminded me a bit of Carnival Row in terms of building a new fantasy world. The actor that played Billy Russo from The Punisher makes a good lead shite stirrer and the special effects and overall production value were pretty good.

It did have a few issues, they throw a lot at you in the beginning just overloading you with the background, and the last episode of season 1 you need to watch at night with all of the lights out. It's as bad as that episode from Game of Thrones where most of the episode is too dark to see the fight.

No where near as bad as that GoT episode. On the same tv with both and no problems with Shadow and Bone for me, GoT though was dark as hell.

I watched the whole season last weekend and enjoyed it, overall. But what I quoted of your post is absolutely my biggest complaint and it's more than just the last episode. I cannot stand that. Do these editors not do their job? You can't tell me not one editor or someone from the VFX department watched that and didn't say, "You think we should make it brighter? I literally can't she anything going on."

But aside from that, I really enjoyed it and will watch if they make another season (which I assume is definitely going to happen as the source material is a trilogy book series from my understanding). I would like to get more in depth on the background of each "state" and the previous wars and such. I may pick up the books and see if they have more along those lines.
