I'm a writing bartender who either keeps re-watching the same ol films again and again or keeps rewriting the same beginning of the same ol' scripts again and again.
I like film filmed with film. I don't like green-screens. I like action and cool guns but I love it when suspense have been built without any visible nor mentioned weapons. I like really cool bad-ass heroes and heroins but I shed few tears for posers.

Disenchantment (2018)
Deus ex machina feast!
I rather this show exists than not, but...
There are no stakes, despite everything being at stake. The characters are all pretty thought out and the story has sharp turns taking us literarily between heaven and hell, but it falls flat. Anyone the story needs, all of a sudden appears out of the blue. - All the time.
It is as if the writers have been using a storytelling app where you fill in words and names and then it generates a story with no consequences. Which would be alright if it was a comedy show, but it ain't. I've smiled at jokes (visual, verbal and/or contextual) maybe fifteen times over four seasons. And I smile easily despite these harsh words.
The animator's skills can't replace the lack jokes and emotional investment. As an exercise the writers should try to write an episode where it takes place in a room with a limited amount of characters. Make it funny, and then work from there.
Central Park (2020)
No, we want less singing and more story (and Bitsy).
An urban Bob's Burgers that get's even more interrupted by people bursting out in song than it's original. Just like in Bob's... the story get's driven forward by a loving and supportive family which is great. But the real star of the show is Bitsy (the protagonist) voiced by Stanley Tucci.
I'm seriously thinking of re-cutting the show with minimal singing. Then it will be two seasons of great 10 min episodes...
