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.

Premise ups the threat by involving a drug cartel. Comedy tries too hard. It is as if the creators have forgotten what makes season 1 good.

Tight action-comedy. It is a bit silly but it’s meant to be. Nicely lit and shot.

K-drama ● Review: Strong Girl Nam-soon
Comedy tries too hard, mostly failing. Autopilot plotting. Characters are too simply written initially but are fuller in the second half.

Film ● Review: Violence Action
Tries to be the “cute young woman assassin taking on the yakuza” action-comedy. Tries too hard to look cool. And fails. Messy plotting.

Film ● Mini-Review: The Fable
A comedy about an assassin and his assistant told to lay low and not kill anyone. Could be funnier but still a solid film that is enjoyable.
