    Really enjoyed the first series of Vigil, but this second series has just got more and more ridiculous with the plot.

    English must be a nightmare for non native speakers to learn. The two words which are almost identical don't rhyme, but one of them does inexplicably rhyme with a word which ends completely differently.

    Or the same word with two different pronunciations depending on the context...

    It was utterly ridiculous, tbf there were warning signs early on but I stuck with it to the contrived and very predictable finale... must have cost a fortune to make.
