The Wheel of Time (2021)
Pretty good so far
Four episodes in, I can definitely say that this show has a rocky start, but now having hit episode 4, it feels like things are coming together more, the actors are getting more into their roles and the story is developing nicely.
I'm enjoying this, there's some nice set pieces, some great scenery and scenes, and there's some bad stuff as well, lines delivered really really bad, emotions that don't quite fit the scene ((I'm looking at you, Perrin, close your mouth sometimes :P))
But I am excited, for this show has also brought back many memories of the books I read atleast 15 years ago and even with having forgotten a lot of the details, I can feel that this show is doing things a little different, but I don't mind, because it's doing it more and more well with every single episode that comes out.
Be prepared to push through the first two episodes to get to the better stuff, but in my opinion, it's worth it, and I hope this show gets it feet more firmly into the lore and on the ground and builds it all even further.
So yeah, I can definitely recommend this at this point.
Foundation (2021)
I am personally, loving this!
I have a bad memory, so when I read foundation, I loved that, I grew up in the golden age of sci fi, I read a lot, but a lot of it got lost, so when this show sprang up in my view, I was hyped.
And for me, not remembering the details, just kinda the overall plot of the thing, I am lovely almost every minute of this. But let's get in on that situation, I think, that for really good fans of the book series, that this will be troublesome, because I feel they purposefully made this in a way to appeal to everyone.
You can jump in and understand what's going on, reading up a little, it definitely takes huge liberties with the actual books, but I think it's worth it.
Why is it worth it? Because the visuals are breathtaking at times, but also useful, the sound, the music, everything conveys the situations that are going on perfectly, grandly in many cases because you're dealing with large things.
The acting, with so many different characters having only minor roles for a few minutes, I've found the emotions, the way they're conveyed and just, the whole setting and place of those emotions to be almost perfectly executed.
There are some little hiccups, but so far, right now, this is looking to become my favorite show ever. Topping Babylon 5, I am very much enjoying this, and if you are not a die hard fan of Isaac Asimov's work, but doe enjoy sci-fi, this will be a very easy pick, so far.
I am a little bit wary, because the liberties taken do mean they have a lot of room to go in bad directions, as of this review, episode 3 is out, I watched 10 minutes of that and was just, absolutely amazed.
Let's see what the rest provides!

Beastars (2019)
My new favorite Anime ever.
This show is amazing, because it at the same time depicts a culture wherein animals work, live and learn together in a way that hasn't been done before. (Zootopia got pretty close), it tackles a lot of daily issues you could imagine, and a lot of that happens in the background, while you're focusing on more important things.
There is life in this show, and it's gorgeous to watch in my opinion, because it creates this unique vibe where all these animals have human traits, but they all definitely have an underlying amount of animal instincts.
Instincts we don't have or don't have anymore... And it plays with those in a brilliant way to create a segregated by nature world that is trying to find common ground between those that eat and those that get eaten. To find a way to function, to get away from those primal instincts.
In this beautifully realized setting that's just brimming with style, a complicated love story, surrounded by a whole cast of unique, interesting and often likeable characters work their magic.
And the great thing, characters grow in this show, some faster than others, some move around a whole spectrum while all of the characters in this show seem to be struggling in some way with something. No one is perfect even if some want to be, or act like they are.
And that's so much fun.
I cannot recommend this Anime enough.
Better Off Ted (2009)
Absolutely hilarious
I've watched trough this show like, 5 times over the years, I keep coming back to it because even though I know what's going to happen, the actors all deliver everything so well and in such funny ways.
It's one of the few shows where the child actors do great as well, which is amazing.
You end up with a show chock full of memorable, hilarious, well worked out characters that bounce off each other and have to deal with all kinds of weird in a corporation that is powerful enough, it can buy out entire countries if it so wanted to.
It leads to seriously crazy episodes that still feel coherent and never too random, just random enough to pull you in and throw you a curve ball.
It will make you laugh.
And the best thing of all, there is no laugh track to tell you when to laugh, the jokes are good enough to work all on their own, it's a brilliant show!
