In my honest opinion, I LOVE this show so much. The overall tone is similar to Godzilla (2014) and paints monarch in a more negative light compared to the newer legendary movies.
Although the show is mainly based around the humans, they tell each of their stories really well and expand on a lot of in universe lore.
Cate Randa is the main protagonist that we mostly follow and they show her PTSD from g-day and her father leaving her really well. And she's a lesbian, gay people are awesome!! Oh and she's the grand-daughter of William Randa, something something legacy of monsters.
And another character that I really like from this show is Lee Shaw played by both Kurt and Wyatt Russell. He is really cool because he's a character who first appeared in a prequel comic that came out like 8 years ago. But he's really complex and tragic, with basically losing everyone he ever loved. And maybe its just me, but there's a lot of parallels with him and Cate and the way they both deal with grief and losing people. And he also knew her grandpa and grandma!!
Anyways, don't listen to the people pooping on this show because they're either homophobic or are monsterverse fans who constantly need to see Godzilla and another titan make out for 30 minutes. Watch the show its awesome!!
