For real o. G is like gud wine ! The cuba episode and the non stinging bees ! The Jordan 1, friggin royalty ! His hand on his heart the whole time xD The Irish one & the aquavitae controversy !!! <3 Truly Bourdain can requiescat in pace. 1 flambeau a été repris.

Now idk what is up with this 600 chars min? U paying me? Do i get money from your billionaire owned site? Of which the most important part, the forums was cruelly ablated, it's crazy bro, now my Indians bros somewhere got to really work for it & read thru useless stanzas just to fulfill some mad requirement, waiting for AI to slowly but surely replace dem ;).

Anyway i'll say it again, this season was miam ! Hey prizekeepers giv'em 1 , a Peabody , a Bafta, wtv award, they've earned it, this is what i call gud TV !

Yet it's something different & the cast is good, but ... remember back when actors started by being cast in commercials ?

Now whole shows are the freakin' commercial, amazon this, Geico that, Alexa that, sitting back on the porch akwardly just to showcase the Nike Air Max...

Talk about selling out, i'd care less if the show didn't go for hard-hitting subjects, but hey, it's how it is. Gotta keep the shareholders fat & happy.

Hype, trend, TENCENT Troll Farm churning out 9-10 reviews/ratings, idk, idc.

It's true the animation is something else, almost as if each frame is 3D pastel painted. But the art has its flaws too, some might find it too... cold, once you get used to it, the hyper-stylization is almost overbearing & smh removes to the atmosphere.

Kudos to "Fortiche" tho ("Hotshot" in Angliche, the animation studio) I knew France defended itself in this domain, they did not disappoint.

Now the flaws, no spoilers but avoid this if you haven't watched it yet : subjective, but I lost interest about halfway into the 3 episodes, the character development was weak, look @ Benzo's fate, were we supposed to feel something for that swiftly introduced character ?

Also Vi's reaction to her sister's involvement in the act's finale left me perplex to say the least.

And the dynamic between the street urchins focused too much on the dissensions rather than getting us attached to them as it could have.

Also there's nothing new in terms of storytelling (magic+science, enemy brothers, enemy sisters, Alita Battle Angel-style clash of the classes... ) the writing wasn't very engaging and i didn't dig the main villain transformation) It's been a long time i haven't played LoL, but the fan-service seemed weak, all i got was the teleportation stone & that pink potion maybe...?

Doesn't matter but I was always more of a Dota -fan, the original blizzard mod, so...yeah.

The show could have benefitted from a longer runtime, 60mn episodes @ least, adding to the universe building, it lacked a light side & things felt rushed with more than a few dull moments.

Anyway, am still looking forward to the second act this week-end, the last video game anima adaptation that i semi-enjoyed was that Castlevania thing, on Netflix too, couldn't finish it as it was too much blah-blah, this is aIready much better. (+it made me try Valorant for the 1st time, pretty good :)
