Mini-Review: Galavant

This show isn't the best; I do not hate the show but I certainly enjoy it. Catchy tunes (Alan Menken~!) but not the best written. The comedy can sometimes be funny (mostly due to delivery than the actual lines) but I often finding myself if I had been on the writing team, I would turn stuff on its head rather than doing some of the routes taken. It's less deconstruction and more parody; even Merlin has better deconstruction even though it's an all safe show with pointless character deaths and have so much potential if the writers get into their heads that the magic reveal that fans wanted would spark the change that the show so dearly needed.

Like Merlin, whether it is a fairy tale land or some place in actual history lost is up to whatever you think.

The main characters can be fun. While they aren't as dynamic as Richard and Madalena, they can be sweet and their actors gave a great performance.

I do love Richard and Madalena. While not well-written (as per rest of the show), they are interesting enough to keep up with to just see how far they will go in achieving their goals and what they are as people. Even Gareth who got some development in S2 has some great chemistry with Madalena, mainly in due with how they are both horrible warmongering people and they understand each other on a twisted level.

The romance is not the best written. It does have potential, though; I just want them to talk and explored their relationship could mean instead of singing about developing crushes. I personally thought the Chef and Gwynne have more development than Galavant & Isabella and Richard & Roberta. Madalena and Gareth have better romantic development than our heroes' romances.

Both season finales are fine, enough for each character. It does show how far each character had gone so far in their journey at least in the final season.

While I'm aware that the show is unlikely to be renewed, it does have a fanbase and I hope these people the best.

Despite the characters not the best written even at their most likable, I am still doing the Arcana.
