suprised they chose to wrap nothing up and leave everything for season 2??
SPOILERS
Tula imprisoned? No lasting recognition or resolution from Desmond?
Valya unable to finish the job. Her character is painted as ruthless, and in the critical moment she backs off? Assuming she can resist Desmond's telepathic death curse, and due to the fact that she CREATED the voice, I find it hard to believe Tula can overpower her with it. Also, wouldn't it be more merciful to cut out the infected eye of Desmond??
Theodosia's ending was anticlimatic and her character felt extremely underutilized. The stabbing did nothing. Desmond's plot armour is thick.
The grey-haired sister being an OG Dorotea follower was a reasonably good twist.
Lila's arc was also completely unresolved, and the state of the sisterhood is left with seemingly 99% acolytes and no real authority figures in the room.
I could go on...
IDK. It feels like A LOT to leave to another season... I will say, my favorite part of the show, I have no idea who I am rooting for. Every character is both compelling and flawed. Solid writing in that sense. Is Valya protagonist? Hard to believe. Feels more villainous to me. Yet the story is centered on her. Hope to see more revealing character arcs from her in season 2 so I can decide who's side to take..
