Mogadisyu (2021)
Where do I start?
Imagine capitalizing on the tragedy and trauma of the Somali people while disrespectfully stereotyping and misrepresenting them. The Somali civil war was catastrophic for the nation and the people, this movie turns them into an inaccurate caricature while it simultaneously sidelines them and disrespectfully focuses on the "two Koreas overcoming their differences to escape the city", that is, their enjoyment and success above the real demise of the Somali people which is the whole damn premise and context the film based on.
The actors didn't even speak Somali. We're in 2021, it's negligent to not do a little research about the country and culture you're whose image you're going to destroy some more. It's as if someone were to make a movie about the Korea war but instead uses Filipino actors, Indian music, and then the Chinese language.
One scene that was really silly was when a supposed "local" was speaking Korean to a Korean lady, and she spoke back to him in broken English. What was the point of that scene? There are so many other parts like this that make it a terrible and waste of time movie.
People need to stop profiting off of the Somali peoples trauma while misrepresenting their story.

Don't listen to the low reviews, watch the show yourself
I read the low reviews before I watched the show and I was so disappointed at first because I've been patiently waiting for this show to release. After watching all 6 episodes, my only complaint is that it was waaay to short. Everything else about this anime is fantastic. The animation is wonderful, the music is perfect, the storyline is nice and to the point. I don't know what agenda these low reviews have but this show is definitely not anything less than an 8.5/10.
I gave it a 10/10 to counteract the falsely negative reviews.
Them (2021)
Takes a bit to get into it but it's fantastic from that point forward
Rating it a 10 to counteract the 1 stars that are undeserved.
Fantastic show.

Great season
I never understood why people like to gate keep shows that are wonderfully adapted to a new story line. I found this series refreshing and the storyline was captivating. The main character is a wonderful actor and he's easy on the eyes as well.
Overall, I would rate it a 9/10 but I'm adding an extra point to counterbalance the gatekeepers who are mad over minor changes.
