Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (aussie.zone)

Has anybody been watching Monarch so far, and have any thoughts on the series so far. I've enjoyed the moments where the muto are around, but I'm not entirely sold on the whole shadow organisation tied up with the muto and just generally being kind of generically secretive. I enjoy it enough to see the season out before forming any big opinions, but I am interested on what others have thought so far.

I've watched all available episodes so far and whilst I'm hoping that something good will become of the show, so far it seems to suffer from the same thing almost every other show does these days: insert a few titans here and there or something else relating to them and fill the rest of the time with often pointless drama...I'm storming off, but oh we're on a ship, didn't make it far, ...I'm not going with you, j/k ofc I am, ...why aren't you talking to me/why aren't YOU returning my calls/dead silence etc

For example the 'past' scenes with grandmother, have shown her to be a much more likeable character than any of the three main characters in the 'present'.

I did like the tune from ep2 credits enough to record it, as I couldn't find it in OST, so there's that

The people conflict definitely seems forced for effect, and consequently doesn't really hit the mark unfortunately. I agree with you on the grandmother, as she seems to be the closest to an actual person compared to the stereotypical military men she's surrounded by that could have been pulled from any other similar series.
