i enjoy it, but as v says, the infodumps were not a good look. rewatching woeics afterward and seeing how well they integrated the education really brought home how poorly the new series handled it.
eh, i just consider the new devineaux, julia, ivy, and zack to be separate characters who share their names with the previous characters. i like them all as characters, even though it was disappointing after my hopes got up for ~my~ zack and ivy to appear.
You know, I think the Netflix Carmen would have been better if they had done good flashbacks. Carmen was a teen right? Why not do flashbacks of when Carmen and Chase were partners and working together? Or when Chase was chasing Carmen? Or more about when Carmen quit?
