In comparison to many other series that have come in this era (because we all love to compare!), the stakes are as profound as any that we’ve seen, but with a particular character driven twist that I hope will surprise and delight people who watch the movie.
A mild counterpoint, because I totally get where you’re coming from:
Section 31 is probably the one setting that should be high stakes, all the time. Like them or not, this is kind of what they do.
