The Bastard Son and the Devil Himself
We weren’t surprised when this show got the axe—with little promotion from Netflix and no ads anywhere in the U.S., it seemed as if The Bastard Son was being treated like, well… a bastard son. The most frustrating parts of this cancelation are the fact that not only was this an incredible first season with a wonderfully acted and poignant script, but the setup for season two promised to deliver even more of everything we loved about season one. The finale, where all three main characters centered and confirmed their love for each other, was such a heartwarming way to end a season that included fratricide, torture, and flashbacks of indentured servitude that we were sure that despite all the odds, this show would get a return. Pour one out for the canon polyamorous ‘ship, Nabrilise (that’s Nathan/Gabriel/Annalise, for those of you not up on the terminology). We didn’t deserve you.
