Oh, exactly! She is less aggravating in S2 (or maybe I just got more used to her), but Magnus (and Alec) shine! I also very much like Luke and Simon, and Izzy kicks ass! ;-)

YES!!!! ;-)

Thank you! Some of them came out a little darker than intended, but overall they're not too bad. One day, grasshopper! (on the other hand, if you're a sucker for a pretty face on a guy who's 6'5" tall, GO WATCH NOW. Alec... I'll say no more!

I totally get that, although I tend to be the other way around because I'm usually disappointed with what they do/don't put in movies/TV from the source material, whereas a book fulfills so much more in my imagination, but I will admit that in this case I had read it first. They do stray somewhat from the book, but the one thing they kept integral to the story was the Magnus/Alec relationship and that pleases me inordinately, so I'm there!!! Not to mention Matthew Daddario's so-pretty-it-hurts face!!! I am so shallow...

LOL! I have to laugh as my hubby also asks me about things that he doesn't understand or follow when we are watching things together... even if I DON'T KNOW ANY MORE THAN HE DOES and we are both just seeing something for the first time with no prior knowledge whatsoever... *rolls eyes*
