Star Trek: Picard (2020)
different but that's to be expected
Picard is a series which allows you to combine the benefits of a somewhat matured mindset with the undiluted belief in good of a teenager. Like so many of you I watched TNG in my teens and I loved it. The physics and mystery behind it all was so fascinating that it was one of the reasons I started my studies in physics. The mystery and the physics behind it all usually served the purpose to raise moral questions. And Jean-Luc Picard was a fantastic travel companion on that trip.
The show tries to transport the sentiment of that time to our modern concept of TV series. It is great to see him in his role again and the cameos of the various Star Trek legends alone make it worthwhile.
However I feel that Picard has not returned to his former glory yet. I miss his superior aura. I hope that he will get it over the next few episodes, but so far it feels as if the producers wanted to point out that Picard aged and is no longer as steadfast as he once was. I get it that they want to portray him as a man disillusioned by Starfleet, which I like, but I believe that they could have done that without stripping him of his picardesque poise. Unfortunately I couldn't warm up to many of the other characters so far, but I haven't given up hope yet.
Inuyashiki (2017)
great so far!
I feel as if the writer has taken the ideas I privately spin in my head and put them on the screen. I have only seen the first four episodes, so I can't tell you if the plot stays as good as it has been so far, but if it does I think I found a real jewel.
What would you do if you were given great powers? That's what it boils down to so far. We see two different characters who use their new-found abilities very differently. The general tone of the anime is rather mature (including the violence) so don't expect a typical shonen atmosphere.
You should definitely give this a chance!!!
EDIT: The end was a bit disappointing
