Shadow and Bone Season 2 rewards those who take the time to find their footing with a high fantasy adventure for the ages. There’s a slew of new characters on deck here—most delightfully, a merry band of privateers—but even more enticing are the increasingly fraught bonds between our central characters. Read full review

Basically, this story gets better the more time is given to it, something that certainly can't be said for all fantasy series. But unfortunately it does suffer more than other stories when it's given such strict time constraints. Read full review

It’s when he [Barnes] gets to tap into The Darkling’s deeper feelings—in particular, during a scene with the wonderful Zoe Wannamaker as Baghra—that you feel you understand this man, even if his every action is still wrong. It’s this understanding and insight—a combination of great writing and excellent acting—that makes this season, despite its missteps, worth watching. Read full review

We complain about how impenetrable the world of Shadow And Bone is, but we also know that the story is an enjoyable adventure. We just wish things were a hair easier to follow. Read full review

Shadow and Bone Season 2 feels a bit crowded, but the writing remains strong, successfully merging stories from the books into one big picture. Read full review

How—or whether—the changes from the source material will ultimately pay off (or help the series get back to its more character-driven roots) is a question only time can answer, but Season 2 never quite makes the case that these shifts are necessary or exciting enough to make up for rushing through this part of the story.

Mei Li and Renaux truly give their all, imbuing Alina and Mal’s relationship with the right amount of earnest pining and steaminess. But the show still falls back on YA tropes, failing to ramp up the sexiness in the right way. ... Shadow and Bone accidentally lets The Crows snatch the spotlight, making every moment they’re off the screen — and there are a lot of them — annoying. ... Shadow and Bone isn’t great. But you can’t call it boring. Read full review

Shadow and Bone Season 2 is not as fleshed out as the first season, but it still has some diamonds in the rough. The action sequences, which are not as prominent as in the first season, are still entertaining and fun for how few there are. Also, some great character arcs like Jesper areShadow and Bone Season 2 is not as fleshed out as the first season, but it still has some diamonds in the rough.

Also, some great character arcs like Jesper are good, but they should have been explored more than some of the nuanced political polts that are somewhat convoluted.… Expand

the Crows made it feel like I was watching two shows, it made absolutely no sense and I wasn't at all interested. The seasonal finale was kinda garbage, too. Bad writing.
