Drama Review: Andor
Despite a number of minor issues, a solid series created by Tony Gilroy, the writer of the Bourne trilogy. Nicely shot and edited. Decent pacing and dramatic tension.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Underworld
Three episodes about Ventress and three about Cad Bane. Style is the same as before. One either likes it or not. However, the writing is much better than previous series.

Drama Review: Skeleton Crew
Typical coming-of-age children’s story. Two annoying leads but the premise and plot are simple and work well enough. It’s short so it’s over quickly either way.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Jedi
Decent production. More for fans of Dooku and Ahsoka, although Dooku’s fall to the dark side is handled well.

Film Review: Willow
Not a bad fantasy-adventure despite plotting and pacing issues, partly made up by a strong performance from Davis.

Drama ● Review: Ahsoka
Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

Film ● Review: Ladyhawke
Lacks adventure for a fantasy-adventure and has pacing issues. But still, it’s not a bad film. It looks good and is memorable.

Manga ● Review: Demon Slayer by Gotouge Koyoharu
Simple premise and structure. Tanjiro’s family is slaughtered by a demon so he fights them, basically a “gauntlet run” to the demon boss.
