Gave Born Again another shot.

Hi! Some of you may remember me from a post I made last week; if you don’t, the gist of it was I had to stop watching born again because they killed a certain favorite character of mine in the first episode. I had just binged watched the whole 3 seasons of the Netflix show and had gotten very attached to that character and related to them greatly and it felt like the rug was being pulled out from under me. I still hate the decision to kill them off, but I recognize that the way they went about it is cognizant of how these tragedies unfold in real life. So I decided to give the show another shot.

Here are my unsolicited thoughts, in no particular order:

Delighted to see a certain newer villain pop up, even if he’s there for very little.

Frank’s back! And so is the moral crisis!

No but seriously that scene almost reduced me to tears again. I don’t like the general writing but the show does have its moments. Frank and Matt’s report picks up almost precisely where it left off, and that speaks volumes to me.

I like Kirsten. Her actress and writing is good. Kirsten was always my favorite of Matt’s love interests (excluding Karen because Karen), though I do wish they gave her as much sass as she has in Waid’s run.

I never cared about Vanessa and Fisk’s subplots so I don’t really have much to say about them, other than the actors both give stellar performances.

Matt has no more fucks left to give in this season and honestly I love that for him.

Should I continue updating with my thoughts?
