K-drama ● Review: Hellbound Season 2
Plot-driven, focused on human and material aspects with the supernatural taking a backseat. Entertaining and, intended or not, even comical.

Anime Review: Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance
Mecha design and action generally look great. Decent pacing. That’s about it. Cardboard characters made worse with Netflix being woke.

K-drama ● Review: The Frog
Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

K-drama ● Review: Goodbye Earth
Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

Film Review: Trigger Warning
Predictable. Lacks action. Lacks tension. Disappointing no matter how much one loves Jessica Alba.

Drama Review: Secret Invasion
Not bad but could go further with the paranoia and suspense. Think of it as a version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Drama Review: 24: Legacy
Decent pacing but derivative. Needs more convincing firefights. Solid performances mask the cheesiness. Still entertaining and funny.
