Hooray! Constructive criticism!

Yes, You are correct, rockymike; this could have been all mine, but it was my final decision when this property was conceived well around 10 years ago. Whilst I was creating it, I was very well aware that this was not entirely original, and somebody such as yourself would point that out. Thank you! To counteract this, I am already thinking of releasing a more original property, similar in vein to this series, but with everything all my own. (In fact, the original IP is already made! I just have to make a series, so stay tuned!)

Oh, and the 'set-up' episodes? I am sorry to say, that it's just my current style (as much as viewers mostly don't like 'set-ups' or 'cliffhangers'. As a result, this series won't be for everyone...). It's there to leave the audience wanting more.

Like you said 'I can't wait to see the next one'.

Thanks for your insightful comment!
