Psycho-Pass (2012–2019)
4/10
All tell but no show
9 January 2024
I dropped this after 2 episodes, which was being generous. I can tell a mile off when a writer can't let a story speak for itself and feels characters have to explain too much.

The appalling dialogue and character writing is what finally got me, along with an obnoxious and annoying MC. Every 3/4 minutes I was groaning from the cliche's and blatantly lazy approaches to introduce characters. And wether your show is sci-fi, kitchen sink, or a kids story about magic frogs: your characters have to feel human. What I got is a bunch of cardboard-cut-outs written by someone who can't find interesting ways to introduce or progress them - which tells me this won't get better.

I love slow-burners, but this was utterly boring too. For such an interesting set up and thought-proboking world, the episodes meandered by and never brought and excitment.

If you like it then I'm jelous, as I was really looking forward to this. But I can see when a show is all tell and no show, and I'm not going to waste anymore time on it.
