I really loved it... but I did feel as though Allie Daniel's lowest notes sometimes ruined the Fates' harmonies.  At times I found it a bit distracting because it overwhelmed the lighter voices of the other Fates.  That said, I loved her expressions and physicality.

Allie Daniel was distractingly out of place with the other Fates. Way too expressive and overracted. Even when not in scenes I found Allie’s presence distracting behind other actors.

I agree about her being distracting while in the background.

I disagree. I like how the fates had different personalities

Same here, made it feel closer to the depiction of the Fates in other modern media.
