What we know
They’ve sidelined the harfoots, introduced a Stranger Things star and thrown in full-blooded romance. It’s probably not enough to stop the fantasy prequel feeling boring, though It might seem strange to characterise the leading streaming show from one of the most dominant corporations on the planet as a scrappy underdog.
