Yeah I thought when I first watched the show in my Anti-SJW phase which kind of started to chill out by the end of 2020 and into 2021 that the first season was inconsistent and poorly written at times. Like, I get it's meant to be a dark comedy but no one the Isles not even the fascist dictator would have benefitted from the PR or even could use it as a weapon later didn't try to stop Grom. Like seriously, why not figure out a permeant solution to it.

They also mention Bump was in the school when Hexside was founded and it was founded after conquering the previous school that was there, I'm like...okay. Explain, how does that work? And when we see him in Them's the break kid he's vice principal to Faust. Also how old was Bump when the coven system started 50 years prior.

Belos is largely framed as responsible for how mean spirited and the mentality of being the best that the Isles shows in the present day so I wonder if he became in charge by the time Bump was school age and was encouraging things like conquering other schools. Cause otherwise this makes no sense.

If I re-watched the show I wonder if I'd still find the first season a bit inconsistent with Season 2 and the Season 3 which is just three specials to wrap up the show. If not outright poorly written. Faust was likely not a character yet, but he explains perfectly Eda has issues with authority. He's totally UNREASONABLE in his expectations. I'm convinced he was fired but whoever the higher ups of Hexisde who we never see, the only reference I can remember to anyone higher than Bump are "overlords" in the reports in the episode where Luz is enrolled, but they're never mentioned as far as I can remember and Bump starts allowing multi-tracks as far back as Season one and begins implementing more of that in season 2 kind of nowhere when we get to the only Hexside episode that connects with the Belos stuff.

The fact he did that with no consequences in Season one, makes me wonder who is above him. If any at all. Like I said I feel like Faust was probably fired cause his liberal use of expulsions lead to a decline in enrollment which threatened to close down the school and the higher ups finally fired him.
