A lot of the dramatic scenes, though <i>well written<\/i>, often come off as incredibly abrasive because the series has no grasp whatsoever on the notions of subtly and nuance. Everything is always incredibly loud and shaky and scenes that are intended to show triumph, grief, fear, and other emotions all just give a sense of intensity instead, and this heavily affects the immersion of a lot of key scenes."}
