I'll lay my cards on the table here in that I was a fan from my childhood of the original. I'd expected this to be even better. And whilst it starts off being a faithful remake of the original, it soon descends into something less enjoyable. The original focused exclusively on John Blackthorns's viewpoint becoming immersed in a foreign alien culture and becoming gradually absorbed by it. This one does also but to a lesser degree. About 75% of the show is looking at the feuding between the various clans. And I dispose that's about right because after all the show is called Shogun and not John Blackthorne' Adventures in Japan. But this creates a pretty significant problem - for me at least. 95% of the show is subtitled. So you spend most of the time reading the subtitles and not the characters. Now normally I don't have a problem with subtitles for foreign films but for this I do. Then there's the lighting. Why are so many scenes set in such poorly lit indoor settings? And they're not restricted to just indoors. Then there's the weather. Does it never stop raining in Japan? Living in Ireland I've cursed our foul damp weather my whole life but we're effectively Saharan compared to these poor souls. Finally, there's the whole "They all look the same" problem. Now don't jump down my throat with this one. But the fact is that to Caucasians, who also all look the same to other ethnicities, trying to determine which character is which is so difficult especilaly when the lighting is so poor. Other filmmakers get around this by using different hair colour or style for each character to differentiate them one from another. Or dress them differently consistently. But with these characters, where the blokes all sport the same partial baldy hair and the same outfits, you spend so much time confused as to who is who. And since there are so many extras all looking the same, I found myself watching an extra thinking it was a lead character and vice versa. Maybe that's just a problem for an old timer like me. I think the only time the outfit colour is implemented is with John's love-interest. She's generally sporting a pale blue outfit. Dear love you if she ever wishes to experiment with different outfit choices. So, is it an easy watch? No. You have to seriously invest your time into persevering with the show past the first two episodes. In fact there's one episode around the middle of the show that I think the filmmakers had a chuckle putting it in. We're treated to a traditional Japanese play and "musical performance" with accompanying dancers. And it goes on forever with little relevance or benefit to the plot. It certainly has many good points but I think it's very overrated. I was close to choosing Seppuku myself.

Everyone expected action and so did I, but they showed how good a series can be made without action. The scriptwriters made a statement on this subject, saying that the book ends right here and they did not want to take it beyond that. But still, it wouldn't be bad if there was a few samurai action scenes.

The flashbacks were heartbreaking, and i feel like BoJack is scared of undoing all his progress at rehab if he left.

"You're the first person I've met today that advised me to commit suicide." The people in Thailand are so friendly and funny. Such a contrast from the previous episode in Norway. Still haven't learned anything new about Thailand tho

This was another good episode and this season has been pretty solid to start imo. I really love what Desmond and Penny decided to name their kid😊

Amazing episode,this show is crazy for now and i think It Will get even Better 🤩,the acting is unbelivable,and the dialogues (especially the rust ones) are goated,i cant wait to continue

“We're all scared. You hid in that ditch because you think there's still hope, but, Blithe..., the only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function- without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it."

This show is fun. That’s the bottom line. One of the most creative and inquisitive shows ever created. So fresh, unique, and clever but still your favorite silly little comedy. So many layers yet so simple. Thought-provoking while still amusing. And the cast is phenomenal. A major factor in this preference as each one brings its own sense of charm and quirkiness. Oh boi, I’m gonna miss this show. Take it sleazy🦑

Here's my review of Adventure Time, one of the best cartoons I have ever watched. What fascinates me the most about this show is the incredible originality that the writers have by being able to create a cartoon with over two hundred episodes that not only fulfills its purpose of entertaining children but also manages to keep adults hooked on the show in the same way. Adventure Time starts off as what appears to be a simple story, very original but simple after all, with absurd and abstract humor (which sometimes you can feel works and sometimes not), which ultimately results in a formula that often works in cartoons. What sets this show apart from other similar shows is the writers' quest to create a universe and to explain the reasoning behind most of the absurd things that happen in the series, even if they have to be explained with even more absurd elements. Aside from the writers' originality and their famous "lore," this cartoon is able to stand tall due to another one of its strongest points, its characters, which are absolutely unique. I would like to make a special mention of Finn the Human, a character whom I initially found somewhat overrated because of what I had heard about him as a protagonist, as I found him quite ordinary even for a cartoon. But it's as the series progresses (and as he matures) that Finn becomes one of the best characters in the series (if not the best) and one of the best protagonists of cartoons I've seen. Jake complements one of the funniest dynamics I've ever seen on television in general, especially Jake has been the character that has made me laugh the most and personally my favorite in the series. The other main characters like Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, or Ice King (especially Ice King ❤️) recieve the same character development/depth as Finn, becoming deep and interesting characters for a cartoon. As for the side cast, I have little to say, one of the best and most charismatic side casts I've seen on television in general. In conclusion, Adventure Time is a cartoon that starts off as one with an episodic format which tries to seek some laughs to evolve into a complex and even deep work at times without ceasing to address the audience it wants to target. I consider Adventure Time to be one of the best cartoons of our generation and possibly also of all time. Well, I guess that's it, I hope you liked it, I know I could have written more but I didn't feel particularly motivated today 😑. P.S.: I will be watching Distant Lands soon 😈. TOP 3 EPISODES 1.

Oh… just wow, I didn’t even expect that everything was linked between season 1 and 2. This second season is really good, I loved it! I hope that there a third one. Now I’m curious about the Emory, what happens to them after the season one? Because the late time was after their “fight” with all their “paranormal problems”. The mother of Dawn just said that the “problems” didn’t left her (and her family). Now we just know that she was with a man that just abandoned her and she isn’t “right” so she gave her babies to that lady. But we don’t know anything about the other members of the family. Oh my God! So much questions and curiosity! I hope that if there will be any other season, it will come fast!

I gave in and finished the episode cos why not. Really strong opening and I like absolutely ever character so far, time management is a big thing for me and this episode used every second of that 43 minutes beautifully and I'm glad it did. I definitely had my doubts about this show but after this episode I really think I'm going to like it. Not going to watch this quickly by any means and probably won't finish this for many months considering how long this is, but I really need to pace something out. W pilot. nuff said.

i don’t like the idea of revivals and i kinda hated this plot… and the way they are not together anymore??

low 3.5 star Now i gotta admit, this is carried by the beutiful crafted story written by Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko but it wasn’t all terrible. I am not a big fan of CGI but goddamn everybody should take lessons from this series, it’s absolutely crazy how they manage to pull some of them effects About the cast…. I think it’s very hard to bring to life an animated cast (in this case one of the best and iconic oat). We have as an example the m night shyamalan’s remake which did everything wrong (if you search the definition for garbage,this movie will show up) but i think their decisions were right, maybe besides zuko which i still have mixed feelings but it’s not even the actor’s fault is just that the animated version will be forever in my heart (it’s not even a take, is a fact). In conclusion, this could have been a lot worse. Is a real fun time, sometimes bad but overall surpassed my expectations. Ngl this series is useless but it’s best option the could have come up with to make money and be enjoyable

Top 30 peak in tv, Rust and Marty killing Ledoux. First 20 mins were great. This is probably top 30 episode oat. 9.9/10

Great ending, happy that Michael's back, Harold Perrineau does not disappoint with any of his performances, he was great in SOA, he was great in Oz and he's great in Lost also

PEAK ahh episode. Sexy animation with Sexy characters. Saber said the ting. She said BANKAI 😌 Still the mystery behind JEANNE and Berserker lurks around the corner. Kuritsugu the 8th spirit in this battle.

Another really great episode. Charlie is a really interesting character and the ending was really sweet. NEW LIST OUT ‼️‼️‼️

Not Jesse and Michelle trying to pretend that Kristen is why their marriage is falling apart. Utter lunatics

Post apocalyptic, tremendous backstory storyline, and now we have cults...?? I was already sold. Now I'm on the verge of drooling.

It’s been over a year and I still can’t gather the words. Connor’s Wedding: Sarah Snook makes you cry repeatedly for 30+ minutes.
