I fell in LOVE with the Midnight Robbers folklore/campfire style of storytelling. The narrator’s voice felt so comforting, even as they were telling you a dark story, it felt okay somehow…  as if even if were scared, the narrator would always guide you in the right direction, towards a good story. Tan-Tan is a complex character who comes from many adversaries (maybe too many???) I would love to see this animated or in comic books because the imagery was fantastical and dark-whimsical, totally my cup of tea.
