[Netflix] Shadow & Bones

It's actually more adult than I would have thought. It's a harsh world but it's not GoT.

Fairly graphic violence, prostitution, some racism, and pretty passionate kissing, but they cut away before the sex scene.

I meant more in terms of the casting. I heard it was all very young?

They are not in their teens (I can't watch that kind go show anymore). I would say the characters are in early to mid-20s.

Oh, sorry. I'm not a great judge of ages, but the main characters could all be in their late teens to early twenties.

Spoiler: Characters, Spoilered For Size

A lot of late teens/early 20s to reflect a world with mandatory conscription, and a high mortality rate.

Very good analysis. That also explains why they are so proficient at what they do for their age.

I dig it

its a very CW like cast, the main characters are all 20 somethings (maybe the General I'd put at 30s) but there's a pretty good spread of support characters.
The setting helps to keep the characters interesting and without too much annoying angst

The queens attendant (make up artist) said she’d been using her magic powers since she was 3 and in training since 11, so even if she’s just 20 thats 17 years of practice.
I assume that Ravka starts training its soldiers while they’re still children too - was that the purpose of the Orphanage?.

Finished it up. Think got a little weaker again towards the end. I think a few more episodes could have done well. Not liking this new era of 8 episode seasons...
