Weak as hell new main plot line. Returning main cast is great but the new additions fell extremely flat with the exception of Jayden.

The way the world is being treated by the author in this spin-off is honestly such a let down. The original series held this almost… lovecraftian-ish feel to it in terms of what the laylines were derived from and how Ronan and other dreamers interacted with it. But here, it’s been molded into something that is so cookie-cutter by having it be an extremely evident phenomenon.
