    Can I make it to episode 10?

    I'm really trying here...I've made it to episode seven, but it's getting harder and harder to watch. The acting is HORRIBLE...the dialog is forced and hard to watch. The story line is labored and is taking too long to tell the viewer. I want to make it through to the end to see how it wraps up, but know that I'm not enjoying this at all...except for the music! The music is one thing almost everyone likes about the series. I'll post something after I make it through to episode 10.

    A day that was

    This episode feels like a retread of its predecessor, albeit with a slightly different angle. Vanya's storyline was particularly compelling. We got to see her struggle with her newfound powers in a different light, and it added a layer of complexity to her character. Leonard, the enigmatic villain, also emerged as a more three-dimensional figure. The episode skillfully balanced the familiar beats of the previous episode with new twists and turns, keeping me engaged throughout.

    However, there were moments when the episode felt a bit repetitive. Some scenes dragged on, and I couldn't shake the feeling that we were treading familiar ground. Additionally, the focus on individual character arcs sometimes overshadowed the overarching plot.

    Despite these minor drawbacks, The Day That Was is a solid installment that contributes significantly to the overall narrative. It's an episode that rewards close attention, offering subtle character development and laying the groundwork for future conflicts.

    A Must Watch Show

    Finally a time travel show I wanted. which following only origin story. makes sense. where things actually changes after time travel. No stupidity like other time travel shows where we keep seeing same characters from different timelines with OMG moments. and where even after time travel nothing changes. Hope to see many more seasons.
