Do you know when you watch a TV series you didn’t expect to enjoy, but it gradually grows on you, and by the end, you’re loving it? Then comes the second series. A few key characters have changed. Your first reaction is: “Hmm… I’m not sure. I was used to the others.” But you give it time. Because the storytelling is still in the hands of the same writer. That’s how I see this new Aston Villa under Unai Emery. There are question marks, of course, and some new characters will take time to grow on you. But after what the previous “series” achieved, perhaps those question marks should be met less with apprehension and more with curiosity. We know the storyteller. We know what he’s capable of. So give it time. Enjoy the ride, the new memories. And let’s see where this series takes us.
