The ‘Knights of Guinevere’ Pilot Brings Some Good, Surreal Sci-Fi
['Justin Carter', 'Germain Lussier']
Gizmodo
After this summer’s KPop Demon Hunters provided a successful (and ongoing) bit of originality, that momentum continues with Knights of Guinevere, whose pilot premiered this past weekend on YouTube.
Created by Dana Terrace, Zach Marcus, and John Bailey Owen, the creator and key writers on Disney’s The Owl House, Guinevere feels at once like its own distinct, freaky thing while also being informed by the trio’s previous (and truncated) collaboration.
That’s made clear right away at the start, where a young girl named Olivia Park is working on an android in a dark room.
While unaware of the value of this specific Gwen droid, Frankie thinks fixing it could help her rise above her station and get a better Park Planet gig.
Like The Owl House or Steven Universe, Knights of Guinevere uses wide shots and background details to convey a history the show is unable (or unwilling) to fully spell out at this juncture.
