Le Donjon de Naheulbeuk: L'Amulette du Désordre (2020)
For D&D fans.
As a fan of D&D and tactical games like Divinity, I very much enjoyed this. Along with genre appropriate themes; it actually is hilarious and the characters kind of speak as if they're real life players playing these characters who have no name but are just called by their classes. I just finished the game and will probably make another run through it and pick one of the other classes. The score on here is dreadful, because I had fun from beginning to end and actually laughed the whole time. The banter is amazing and the game is very self aware. I highly recommend.
Christina P.: Mom Genes (2022)
Yikes
Only 10's are from YMH fans. But unbiased standup fans will not like this. It's just some tired ass jokes that I've heard from women like her over and over again. Get for them Segura coat tails and do something else, because sweet Jesus. Did anyone actually finish this thing? The podcast is great, but it's 90% Tom, let's be honest.
Shingeki no Kyojin: Outside the Walls of Orvud District (2018)
Eren HAS to stop crying.
Episode is sick, but seeing Eren whine 90% of the time is exhausting. It's literally just him and no one else, at least Armin is useful. This guy blows.
The Witcher: A Grain of Truth (2021)
And the Emmy goes to....
Kristofer Hivju. His role as Nivellen is awe inspiring. Also, great start, great visuals, just all around a great telling of one of my favorite Witcher tales. The Yen part seems a bit silly but oh well.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: 2020: A Year In Review (2021)
Go woke or go broke.
Putting that glaring politics aside, the jokes are a hit and miss. Thought this show wouldn't be the type to buckle under the pressure to be this liberal so obviously. Also not very funny.
Dopesick (2021)
Brace yourself award season.
Michael Stahlbarg is probably the best actor ever now, show was the last straw to decide his genius.
Michael Keaton is a 10/10 and the writing is top tier. I'm pretty shocked.
Sex Education: Episode 7 (2021)
Unrealistic farts...with one exception.
The exception being Michael the former headmaster, turning into my favorite character. Love me an underdog story.
Sex Education: Episode 3 (2021)
The cat scene.
Y'all gotta chill. One scene in the beginning shouldn't ruin the whole episode. Don't be stupid.
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Charlie's Home Alone (2018)
Y'all are trippin
I was dying in this one. That bucket fall destroyed me.
Loki: Lamentis (2021)
This is important.
Not the filler people claim it is. Just because it doesn't have some massive advancement in the plot, doesn't mean it's insignificant. There's plenty of character building and depth added to these two even more than we had. Which is bananas. This was necessary. Enjoy it.
Friends: The Reunion (2021)
I don't know what y'all were expecting.
First off, wtf is wrong Matthew Perry? He seems so slow, which is tragic considering how quick he was. But with Corden and the his "friends" in that fashion. Yikes.
Should've been Conan asking them in depth questions and them answering them honestly and being real. Some parts of this is really great and heart warming, but yeah a missed opportunity for sure.
Frasier: Freudian Sleep (2004)
Y'all folks are bananas.
This is a pretty standard episode for Frasier. Funny, intelligently observant and good punchlines. Good show all around.
Except for the wheelchair episode lol.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Changed my rating.
I started with a 3 and then into a 1 after I gave it any thought. Holy crap. Not one scene makes sense.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 10: The Passenger (2020)
What you need to keep in mind
Not every episode needs to progress a single arc. These are are side quests baby! Surprised you nerds aren't into this, because not all shows should follow a strict narrative. Besides, Star Wars has always had "adventure detours", and as a fan of D&D, this just reminds me of a random encounter, which I love. So the purpose is to be fun and entraining, which it was. Show is a still perfect.
Lupin III: The First (2019)
50% Lupin, 50% Final Fantasy, 100% entertaining.
I grew up watching Lupin and even reading the mangas. I can see how the movie has missed certain beats that makes most quality Lupin outings "Lupin", but honestly I was just hit with a vibe that didn't take me out of enjoying this. It still feels like Lupin, the banter is pretty close and all the cheese and humor is pretty on point too. It's not the best Lupin, but it's definitely not disappointing. Also, that animation is bananas. 👍🏻
Fargo: Before the Law (2015)
Remember this is based on real events.
The show is great and doing just fine. Can't complain about a lack of realism and too many weird coincidences if it's told exactly as it happened. So recognize the genius of this "life transcription" and enjoy it for what it is; entertainment. Lose the elitist attitude, not everything will be Breaking Bad.
Fargo: A Fox, a Rabbit, and a Cabbage (2014)
Two predators, two different styles.
Lester loves nothing but in his deluded view of his potential and gets himself and those around him in danger or worse. Lorne only cares for the madness and violence. These two fit each other perfect.
Devilman: Crybaby (2018)
solid
Show is pretty close to perfect. Lovely homage to the original while still remaining modern in its themes. Very bizarre and campy indeed, but I'm guessing that's the idea. It's super and very solid.
