Well I won't say things aren't dire, but there were a number of moments where I cheered, or at least went 'phew', which I call a win when the stakes are this high. Way too into this series to go into details without immediately being in spoiler territory, but glad to see my faves up and about. 😏 
I appreciate the blend of 'world in crisis on political and environmental level' and 'world under threat by super powered villains'. I'm invested!
