I think yes, at least for season 1. I haven't read the second book or watched the second season.

The arrogance is what's so stunning. Who needs expertise?

Any and all continuations and adaptations of Locked Tomb should be injected 💉 straight into my veins thankssssss

I just took a benadryl because my eyes hurt. It helped a little
