I really enjoyed season one, but I'm very uncomfortable with the romantic threesome developing in the second season. I was hoping that they would not explore a romantic plot between Ben and Ryn because he works really well with Maddie and because I find Ryn really childlike. She's only been speaking for a few weeks, she has to have everything explained to her, she is in effect a toddler and it feels really wrong for her to be engaging with the human characters sexually and even worse that this interaction should be a threesome/polygamy. This is only emphasised by the fact that she is so much shorter than the other two characters; it feels like they are engaging romantically with their daughter, not a consenting equal. One of the things I liked about series one was that it had characters drawn to Ryn but not necessarily sexually, they could be intrigued by her but retain their own relationships. I'm really disappointed they've decided to go down the obvious romance route in the second series. I hope it improves in the second part of the season as the first season had real potential.
