Juliet is driving me crazy.

This has become very immersive, and I feel a similar pull the audience of The Show must feel to uncover its secrets. If only Juliet was more relatable. She’s incredibly naive with her decisions, and she’s a bit grating.

There’s a sense of entitlement to Juliet that I don’t like, and she’s very self-centered. I don’t really care about her, and yet I am intrigued by the mystery of The Show. Something dangerous seems to be lurking behind the illusion, and I want to know what it is.

It’s like trying to wrap your head around something that WANTS you to be confused and mesmerized at the same time. Something foul is afoot here.

Like the main character, I have no idea what the frick is going on, but it’s all very pretty here. *looks around in wonder*

Reminds me a little bit of The Night Circus in terms of setting, combined with an evil-stepmother fairytale.
