The Business of Drugs (2020)

Well

[5/10 · 24 July 2020]

First of all, I think they didn't do a good job hiding those informants' faces and identities... I'm a little bit worried about them hahahah

I think it gives people who have almost no idea where and how the business of drugs are conducted. It is a good introduction to the world of drugs... But if you are looking for something deeper, this might not be enough for you.

Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045 (2020–2022)

It is not just the animation

[3/10 · 29 April 2020]

I have watched the anime movies and the TV anime series for more than a hundred times, literally. I can tolerate the animation, it's fine.

It is the characters.

For example, the opening: When I saw Motoko Kusanagi driving with Tachikoma in Palm Spring, I could still understand. But when I saw Kusanagi took out a Budweiser beer, drank it, and let out a satisfying sigh. My heart dropped. If you are a super fan like me, you know why. Kusanagi would never let out that sigh... 5 minutes in and my heart had dropped already.

I haven't finished the whole thing yet. So I'm still giving it a 3. Might change it later. I don't usually give a 1 star review because I don't take things personally. However, this is extremely personal hahaha. So I might give it 1 star after I finish the whole thing haha

Manhunt (II) (2017–2020)

Fine but not very likeable

[6/10 · 16 May 2018]

The acting is good. The narration is fine. However, the portrayals of most of the characters in Manhunt bother me a little bit. It seems like only two people-Fitz and Ted-in the whole series are intelligent and everyone else is just foolish, stubborn, and uncooperative. I like dramas that are cleverly directed and executed , and that show both the likeable and unlikeable sides of the characters. And this one is...a little bit mundane...in my opinion. Anyway, it is still a fine series. Watch it and decide whether you like it or not.
