You know I just realized why I absolutely did not feel uncomfortable while watching shadow and bone even once. Its because of how no women were sexualized in it even once! Usually when watching shows, costumes, scenes, dances always sezualize women so badly and to such a degree that you just have to skip past it.
But then, in S&B you can see how there was literally not even a single instance of this. The Keftas? they were the same for all genders. That scene in which Alina took a bath? beautiful. no sexualization at all, instead they told her she smelled like horses. Inej's rope-dance-acrobatic sequence? absolutely no sexualization, just pure talent. Inej's costume? also perfect. Why aren't all shows and movies made like this?
