I just do not find this show to be particularly engaging. When they did show like Drum Corpse Bride and that bunny show, I felt they were starting to finally carve out an identity as a bit camp and dare I say it a bit Velvet Knights-esque. Since then they seem to have just gone a bit...vanilla. Nothing distinctive about this show. And that’s unfortunate because Academy had begun to carve out a unique space for themselves.

I thought they went a very different direction in 2018 and 2019, not very successfully given the talent they had, and then took a turn back toward whimsy last year, but the time for that seemingly had passed. This is a very solid show with its own charm and elegance, and if not the most riveting, it works well and could be a productive new direction.
