I'd never got round to watching this show before and oh BOY what a mistake! I'll be retracing the earlier seasons in the agonising week-long gaps between these episodes. Absolutely gripped.

SPOILERS (in white)

Not sure how much of this applies to the earlier seasons but I do love the feeling of expendibility of the characters - seeing Roberts' throat cut this early was not expected. Likewise, what the fuck has happened to Miss. Sidibe? (Her power is so hilarious and awesome)

I also love the equality-message undertones. No, it's not majorly subtle, but it is interesting and there's enough surface level action that it doesn't feel like we're being beaten over the head with it. The scene where Bassett refuses Paulson the magic just because she was born into the wrong family - so beautifully ironic whilst also being SOOO frustrating, but that being the aim, I love it.
