Cancellation after three seasons is no excuse for never looking into the
murder of [spoiler] at the end of the first!

I describe it as "Hogwarts meets Narnia, not for children," but that's
very loose. The school is a home base through most of the series, but
we rarely see classrooms after the first season.
I bought the Bluray so you don't have to. I keep meaning to start a log
of questions, most beginning with "When did", to answer in a rewatch.

I quite liked Poe (the AI hotel manager). How's the second season?

Is there a way to watch it short of buying discs?
Netflix no longer offers season two.
