‘The Letter for the King’ is only two-thirds the fantasy show it should be

The Letter for the King on Netflix is an odd fantasy series.
It’s honestly impressive how much The Letter for the King just assumes everyone is already on board with its characters, world, and stakes before it charges forward with the story.
That baffling, unfinished tone permeates most of The Letter for the King in a way that seems especially strange with the knowledge that the show is based on a book.
That character didn’t need to exist, and adding queer representation to The Letter for the King simply to walk right into the genre’s most trite and boring trope is weird.
The Letter for the King is streaming now on Netflix.
