Although the racism is the central plot point, i feel the show spent a lot more time discussing what women were and were not allowed to be. Like in the little house in the mountains sequence, that was much more about Mizu's inability to fit in the mold of the traditional wife than anything

I figure Season 2 is similarly gonna look at English gender relations... although tbh i have literally zero idea what those were like in that time period. The Stuart period, apparently.

It vaguely irks me that we never learn why/how she forges the sword in the first place. It doesn't matter but they make a whole things about how sworddad can't do it and whoops murderlass did it offscreen without him noticing. I wonder if they had to cut something.

to be fair she did do it wrong. thematically its fine, its just they showed sworddad couldn't even melt it which made it weird.

there definitely feels like cut sword content. The way the confrontation with Fowler in the castle resulted in Mizu's sword shattering felt like a lead in to 'new sword doesn't get broken by bullets' bit that iirc was never used.
