Couple quick points in the spoiler block below.
1. I'm not fond of the implication that abstraction is irreversible. It really feels like Caine's arc is supposed to demonstrate redemption for one's acts, but where is that for Ribbit? And we never even _learn_ what happened to Queenie. Eternity is a long time to stay dead (or the next best thing).
2. OK but I still love Caine so I forgive Gooseworx for everything
3. The Jax character arc is ... interesting overall. Continuing from (1), it feels like the author is trying to say something about the magnitude of their crimes, but the point feels muddled. Cool to see more trans representation in media though!
4. Aww, y'all don't get to see the fish come back to tell you not to post spoilers. Now that the episode's out, it's probably kosher [to share it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NXC7SIZrAc).
5. I think it was about a ~6.5/10 overall -- quite watchable, and enjoyable overall!

Also saw this one, but I had to cram the first 7 episodes into just a few days before the release. It was good, I thought. I noticed that it was intensely melodramatic, with each major character getting an "I learned something today" moment. And I think the Caine redemption could have been more sacrificial.
Big Kinger fan though. Also had to convince my kids that a certain character is trans. Resent my Xennial ass all you want, progeny!
