These remain entertaining and fun for me without ever reaching thrilling and compelling.

The series is kind of like old episodic television shows, where they'd have a “monster of the week” plotline. There would be some really great character actor guest stars. In this case, they'd play Shiro and Sanya and recurring character Johnny Marcone. The world-building and some of the supporting characters are good.

As for the overall series arc so far, the conflict of the Red vs. White Court is missing any real stakes to make it interesting, and as for Harry's romance with Susan, I'm not feeling it. Sex scenes aren't enough to tell a story of their connection.

I did enjoy the Archive, though and I hope she returns.
