Review:
Rating: Watch it / [It depends] / Skip it
  • It's got a lot of style. I can remember certain sequences and the composition of scenes more than the actual plot. The show isn't as good at delving into characters. Arthur has a plot line this season that should be more compelling than it is. That's not to say nothing happens this season. There's plenty of plot developments, but that seems secondary to making great looking or violent sequences. Few shows can make their characters look quite as cool when just walking.
