![]() If it feels like two different shows, they almost are by necessity. What is repetitive and plodding in the story threads that dominate the rest of the show becomes much freer and agile when attention shifts to the “crew on a mission” side of things. There’s a noticeable difference every time “Shadow and Bone” hops from the Alina storyline to what’s happening closer to Ketterdam’s organized crime hub The Barrel. This season, the crew takes on demolitions expert Wylan (Jack Wolfe) and Nina (Danielle Galligan), who has the gift of being able to hear and control people’s hearts. Along for the ride with Kaz on his various journeys are the sharpshooting, wisecracking Jesper (Kit Young) and the nimble, ghostlike Inej (Amita Suman). The group is led in spirit, if not always in action, by the enigmatic, gloved Kaz Brekker (Freddy Carter), a stoic ringleader with connections all throughout the seaside scum-and-villainy hub of Ketterdam. ![]() ![]() Parallel to all that talk of Alina and The Darkling either saving or destroying all living things is the far simpler story of a handful of crafty criminals trying to make their way through a seedy underworld. ‘The Diplomat’ Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix ![]()
