Looks like Blue Eye Samurai and Owl House
Blue Eye Samurai wants to be grounded and moving, yet also an adolescent power fantasy, and it suffers for it. It's still quite good, and I try to grade on a curve when something is ambitious, but IMHO it's way too flawed to be "peak tier."
Also, the end of S1 is a total cop-out IMO.
I really enjoyed it up until that point, even if it was a bit of a mess.
Agreed. Apart from just being kinda so-so and cliched and a Marvel-style sensory assault that assumes emotional arcs are completed by stabbing and shooting things, it reeked of "You have to renew us because the story's nowhere near done!" That's understandable as a business move by people whom Netflix will happily fuck over, but it's bad storytelling when you know perfectly well that Netflix might fuck you over, and history has shown it won't be effective either, due to the aforementioned over-fucking.

Fowler did NOT need to be left alive. Any number of ways the writers could have Mizu find the information, especially once he dangled it.Absolutely agreed in all counts!
TBH if they'd just done as you say in your spoiler, it would have been one of my favourites ... because I like messy and unfocussed stories (my favourite comic book character is Tank Girl)
