This is funnier than I expected. It coasts a fair bit on the comedic chops of Maisie Williams, Sian Clifford, and Mawaan Rizwan, but those are excellent chops.

This is very cute, with a slightly silly amount of twists. Can't wait to finish the last couple of eps tomorrow.

I'll check it out. Williams was funny in the 2012 Olympics ticket scalpers sketch that she did with Patrick Stewart, but most of her non-GoT work seems to have tended toward Arya-adjacent Plucky Girl in Trouble or Something. [glares briefly in the general direction of New Mutants]

I found this series entertaining, but a little aimless. I'm not sure what this history behind it is, but yeah, the vibe is a little "write something kind of action-y, set in modern times, for Maisie Williams to star in."
