Arcane (2021–2024)

Is this real..?

[10/10 · 20 November 2021]

I'm speechless ... From the very first few episodes, this was a 10/10, and by the ending, I've just finished as it came out it unquestionably solidified it.

The Animation style is so unique, from every single point you can perceive or study it like it's remarkably intermingled with emotion to exactly portray such characteristics and emotions in various scenes.

I've never witnessed it done so beautifully, leaving such a mesmerizing scent in the back of my mind.

The voice acting was FCKNG INSANE. Some of the best hands down can feel it as well as, including the best animation I've seen. Your brain and heart can notice it. The Story was just utterly astounding, as captivating as the rest of everything I've listed was. I'm shocked they've made this series so perfect(as of writing this on season 1). I rarely get emotional or tear up but, to my surprise, this show somehow did it so fast over a short time where you don't have such a significant connection with the characters as you're indulging and watching the footsteps. The twists and turns it takes are phenomenal. From a psychological sense facing, much much more, for which I'll leave it short at that.

The Choreography of action scenes was Superb as well had you dialed in as if you were watching a real Prime Mike Tyson fight in the front row seats.

The music conveyed in a way, what they had to paint over your mind in which was a Perfect Picture.

There's no rounding up on this one every God damn thing was 10/10. I'm in love with the show also I'm waiting on the second season now.

Don't miss watching such a masterpiece in your lifetime.

My Name (2021)

Hypnotizing show! 100% Worth watching for sure!!

[9/10 · 28 October 2021]

Where do I start? It was an incredible show from beginning to end. I can't stress that enough every scene every minute you're in a panic, cheerful rooting, or filled with anxiety on what you think is about to come.

The real-life aspects of this show from how skewered and mind draining working on a field where your life is always in danger, have to play double agent and zero time for personal life from one side. It's Dark it's utterly a psychological masterpiece taken from many angles. Chock-full with revenge, anguish, secrecy, backstabbing, love, and a hell of mesmerizing action sequences subduing you with antagonizing character development and thoughts.

I was in such awe, I stayed all night long awake right after watching the first episode, and then the desire increased with the second even more furthermore so on finishing it with no breaks at all.

One thing that stood out to me was also the end. I would've certainly loved it if it went the other way. To my surprise, I was pretty sure it would have indeed but, I guess that's why it didn't so you, wouldn't expect so giving you just one more last bit of an extraordinarily astonishing face and shock. I reckon giving you footprints to where the direction-of-the-story most likely will end to then saying 'Nahh" in so close to the finish sounds genius. Every piece from start to finish precisely comes to play, zero neglect, not a thing is there just for filler.

Great acting, majestic storyline, storytelling, impeccable visuals, choreography, and writing. What else could you want more? I recommend watching this show fully 100% incredible!

Locke & Key (2020–2022)

Finished 2nd season waiting for 3rd one. Entertaining to say the least!

[7/10 · 23 October 2021]

Well, I just got done finishing the newest season thenceforth was the second at the moment I'm writing this review. Although the reason I waited and didn't review the 1st one, was that I expected some improvements & whereupon is exactly what I got, in some areas on the second season.

Going over the basics of course the story/lore is very captivating, different, and astonishingly unique. Which is odd and surprising these days. However, what left me a bit frustrated in the first season was the lack of what seemed of imbalanced chemistry and plot holes in which the writing could've been better, maybe harder to do so but if at least avoided and in doing of such it could have been with almost no flaws.

In the second season, we get some loose ends shut off but still, there are some plot holes by the end I could myself see a better way of doing such things according-as that wouldn't leave some plot-holes which I won't spoil here, but for sure not as many as the 1st season, therefore, that's an improvement on that part.

On the other angle, it got really interesting, the story followed up got Dark with more of a serious tone, storytelling on the past was done brilliantly I might add and to a greater extent Acting, in general, got better you can notice it with some of the teens that played their roles of when they were themselves or "pretending" really well you could notice the change(even the brief ones) and that's a huge plus. Sure there's some "ahh why is this drama in here now it seems forced and unnecessary " but for the most part it followed up with many twists I didn't see coming as well as I did in the first one.

The "Superseding" of villainy was well done.

If the first season could barely touch a 7-star rating this second season made it undoubtedly at least 7.3 - 7.4+.

Well, it was a very very enjoyable ride, a new world which is in truth unique and intriguing to get into and I unquestionably recommend watching it, especially the second season which delivered greatly and quite on par with my expectations. I am much more inquisitive going forth on what they have planned for the 3rd season, to be honest, I can't wait.

Midnight Mass (2021)

Shockingly Unique! 100% Worth it!!

[9/10 · 18 October 2021]

The slow start goes perfect with the tone but also leaves you with sprinkles of craziness here and there to always keep making you wonder and theorize.

It's indeed fantastic from a human depth of understanding life, faith(blind faith even), and the depths of darkness a human can go of their selfishness but still call or hold themselves up as if they're a saint that can do no bad... only good.

Acting is superb, storytelling follows up and leaves enough room for you to guess enough ahead but yet again fail to guess half of the mystery. When you're watching this from the start, middle, and after you finish not only is it enjoyable and intriguing but it leaves deep enough thoughts on you as well to question things you may have or not wondered about in the past or the present and how you perceive things from another angle.

It's a complex story with every piece from start to finish there with a purpose and beautifully designed to work in connection to each other. Seven great episodes as it should be not overly stretched at all.

Is it worth your time? The answer is not only is it worth your time but it should be something you put ahead of other shows in terms of watching whether you want to enjoy something, for the time being, have limited time or else, this is a 100% Must Watch!

The Irregulars (2021)

Deserves a binge and your attention.

[7/10 · 7 April 2021]

First of all let me start by saying there's far too many whining b. With 0 patience In these reviews and I would never be stupid enough to take someone word for it who didn't even go past 15 minutes or 1 episode, and I'm glad I didn't.

The story is captivating love it, reminds me of Grimm as well. It has it's balance in humor , "darkness" and romance. It definitely is worth a watch for me it's a solid 7 for now and it has a lot of potential. Of course there's little fillings here and there but nothing can be close to perfection on a first landing, looking forward to a 2nd season.

Sweet Home (2020– )

Worth it 100% !

[8/10 · 9 January 2021]

Visually impeccable the vibrant colors add a different feel, good storytelling and unique in many areas, also has things it can improve on so I'll keep it short and say I'm waiting on that on a 2nd season.
