What the hell happened? Love, Death & Robots has been one of the better anthology shows the past several years and after Black Mirror completely fell off, I was always happy it existed. Four seasons and all the creative juice is spent? What the hell was this season? It got off to the worst possible

Andor Season 2 review So this is how good Disney Star Wars dies, with waning viewership. I might consider myself a fan of Star Wars, but while I wouldn't necessarily consider myself a hater, I think it would be more accurate to label me one than a fan of Disney's contributions to the franchise.

My second Kdrama inside 10 days, hooray... The King of Pigs is a show I might not have much to say about, because it wears its heart on its sleeve, which is to its advantage for most of the time. It probably makes it tougher for me to have too much to talk about thematically since its stance on bul

If I had a nickel for every time an enjoyable piece of media came out in the 20th century about a town that is just weird and unusual and it had "shop of horrors" in its title, I'd have 2 nickels. As always not a lot but, strange that it's happened twice. We need Pet Shop of Horrors to be become an

Weak Hero Season 1 was entertaining in terms of the story and plot, but it was the characters that ultimately made me cautiously optimistic about a second season. Going in, my worries where that the plot about more gangster stuff would vee

It's been a little bit over 2 months since I touched my last Kdrama, which should make me given I wanted to at least put them off for a month right...? Wrong, because the reality is those 2 months have felt like half a year, which can only confirm I'm long past the point of no return. Move to Heave

In a month's time, Sir David Attenborough will turn 99, and I find it poetic that a man who has had such an influence on so many of us when it comes to what we've learned about nature, should be blessed with such a long life. Asia continues his series of covering the wonderful wildlife on display a

Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World Season 2 review Wallahi, I am finally done...This show is never beating the harem allegations. Have you ever had one of those watershed moments while watching a show or film where you sort of ask yourself "what the hell am I spending my time watching..."?

It takes real talent to make a miniseries about an afro rocking samurai voiced by Samuel L. Jackson who is hellbent on avenging his father's death, somehow boring and ultimately more tedious to sit through than it has any right to be. Afro Samurai is unfortunately not as cool as it thinks it is. Th

There might not be someone in the world more dismissive of a "genre" they haven't really began to explore, as I am of the "isekai" genre/theme. I had forgotten that I saw the first season of KonoSuba (spoiler alert I was not a fan) and therefore thought I hadn't watched a single one of these shows,

Another BBC miniseries adaptation of a Jane Austen novel, I guess these are just things I watch now...Thankfully there doesn't seem to be more, apart from maybe 1, left (I hope so). Sense and Sensibility doesn't have nearly the compelling character work from Pride and Prejudice, but it is still an

Anime shows often suffer a second season curse, but not always because the show takes a weirdly long hiatus. Sometimes, they simply aren't as good as the first season. Beastars season 2, when I first saw it nearly 4 years ago, felt like the rare anime show that continued to live up to its great firs

I first watched Season 1 of Beastars in November 2020, and found it thoroughly enjoyable and a compelling watch. In preparation for watching the first part of Season 3 (which I didn't even know was out until a few weeks ago), I thought it had been more than long enough for me to revisit the show. K

Sigh, you'd think that after 3 decades on this beautiful little blue rock, I'd have a firm grasp on my taste in films and shows... When I watched Pride and Prejudice in August last year, I said this at the end of my review:

Welp, I suppose this is what being free on a Sunday afternoon leads to, so much for my hoping I can put off Kdramas for at least a month... When the Phone Rings is a strange show because while I enjoyed most of it, it introduces more and more nuance to its intricate story to the point where it can'

An anime show set in the Edo period of Japan, created by the same guy behind Cowboy Bebop (which I had totally forgotten but started to suspect after 2 or 3 episodes before looking it up), coming out in the 2000s, was there really any chance I wasn't going to enjoy this? Samurai Champloo gets an im

Really? Is this how I'm gonna start the new year? Five days removed from finishing my last "K-drama" in Beyond Evil which I started on Christmas, I started another one on New Years (at the unfortunate persistent recommendation of my guide into all things Kdrama). It took me 7 months last year to ev

Around 3 weeks ago, I concluded one of my goals for the year (that wasn't even a goal until I realized I had 1 more to reach it) of watching 10 anime shows with Casshern Sins. Naturally, as I have come to expect with anime shows,

I have known about this show for close to two decades, my older brother having recommended it to me from the start but I never really got around to it. Once I knew about it often being cited as the best show to have been cancelled too early, I suppose I didn't quite want to experience that let down

There was a point in time (probably when I was getting into anime in the 2010s) where I thought 24-episode anime shows were the way to go. I would have looked down on the "modern" desperation to cut down everything into ADHD friendly consumable duration...Now granted I still don't like this insisten

As the spiritual successor to The Life & Times of Tim, Ten Year Old Tom might not reach the highs of that show, but I did find it to be more consistently funny. It's scope each episode feel more limited to the overpopulated "adult animated comedy in school" category, but along with a lot of entertai

Quite simply put, Adventure Time: Distant Lands is Adventure Time: the cheap fanservice miniseries. I've known about its existence for a good 2 years (still late to the party knowing anyway) but I've never been too convinced to check it out. Perhaps it was lingering doubts because of the weakening

I haven't seen Fawlty Towers since I was a kid, but I'm glad I finally gave it a rewatch because it's even funnier than I remember. As a kid a show like Mr. Bean was arguably my favourite comedy show besides Tom and Jerry, but my father also introduced us to this show as it was most likely his favo

Ah shit, here we go again...Again. It's always fascinating to hear about different interpretations of hell, particularly ones where it is depicted as a place where "too much of a good thing is a bad thing" is made a reality. A place where something you would love is given to you and for a while you
