Warning: Spoilers
I got to episode 3 before I had to call it quits. I understand the necessity of showing the dark side of humanity, however none of the main characters have any redeeming qualities nor do any of the supporting characters. The only character that is tolerable is *spoiler* the only male lead's little brother who ends up in jail with him. *end spoiler* The main tension of demonic shinto priests (never thought I would write that sentence in my life) isn't addressed until much later in the series which causes a lot of confusion. Hints are made at this witch named "Zenobia", who is Japanese, but these hints are conflated with Chinese cultural ties which is very racially uncomfortable.

Multiple times do you see people get punched in the face, all of which are minors. One is *spoiler* police brutality on the part of the male officer *end spoiler* which felt extremely unnecessary in that moment and wasn't fully addressed as to why that action was done.

I wouldn't recommend this to literally anyone. I tried to get through half of the series before writing a review but I couldn't stomach it anymore.
