More drama than action, adventure, or sci-fi, but a good overall build-up to the coming movie.

Pretty much every episode without a titan was trash IMHO, but it was simply because I was expecting to see more titans and learn more about them. However, if you look at the series title, it says “Monarch” - this is about people (an organisation), not about titans.

That being said, some story elements were inconsistent, like regular humans surviving a building dropping on their heads and coming out with a “broken” leg that they can walk on without a cane? I've had a broken leg before, and I couldn't walk.

So, regardless of my disappointment about the lack of titans, there were other elements that made this not live up to its potential.

Lastly, a few of the episodes did well in giving the audience an idea of what to expect in the future film, and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
