This review comes from someone who has spent more time watching Japanese anime and live action films than my own cultural films. With that in mind my score of a 6 comes with good reasons.
I have always been taught that every word written in a script should propel the story keeping the audience engaged. This writing unfortunately does not capture the essence of "purpose". Instead, filler scenes are used more often than not. Lines in the show that some would describe as profanity, disgusting, or provocative create a lack of meat within the characters choices of words. I've always said it's harder to write anything clean and still get your point across in the same manner you would have with the ugly writing. I'm not saying you can't. There are times when it's deemed necessary.
There are moments in the show when the writing was good. Good comedic timing with soft undertones of passion and again purpose. When it came to the stoic moments I found that the writing was shabby or overplayed... basically cheesy.
The presence of the authentic Japanese culture is skimmed over but is still highlighted in some aspects. I do believe it still misses the mark when discussing the intellectual and beautiful part of the Japanese culture.
The voice acting was hard to listen to. Right away I wished there were genuine Japanese voice actors for this. English didn't sell it for me. For me personally, I did not believe many of the actors and what I heard them say. The Japanese are well known for their passionate tone. In general I did not believe them regardless.
Here is what kept me watching:
The score is something that anchored me down and made me feel and allow me to have an emotional attachment to the scene.
The animation was the most incredible part. Couldn't get enough of it. As well as the action and the ability to have fight choreography that we can see and not have us filling the gaps of what we mostly see in fights.
Anyway, I've spent way too much time writing this review. Have no idea what compelled me to write it but... Here we are. If IMDB didn't hide this review and you read this far, I salute you! Many great blessings to you in your journey!

This is the episode that broke the camels back. The writing has gone completely off course giving a lack of Witcher magic to what little story is here.
I don't want to assume as I'm not around the table but from what is produced it seems as though no effort was put forth like the first two seasons. I'll be honest, I don't know if the writers have changed but this episode alone proves how there is 95 percent filler and 5 percent crucial and key moments.
The first two seasons were written with every word and movement having a purpose towards the absolute need of each character and goal. Now the writing seems like a high school student trying to fill the character quota. Just like how I had to meet the IMDb review quota.
The writing has done a disservice to the actors/actresses and the horrible choices that they had to choose. They probably spent more time trying glue the series together for the audience. That couldn't have been easy.
10/10 to the DP and lighting crew for continuing to capture such fantastic and just flawless shots. However, we need to stop relying so much on CGI.
-End rant.

The Ark of Lilburn rediscovers the native lifestyle of the blue-collar working class.
The culture of what keeps America breathing has been lost in the modern-day era but reborn in this original documentary.
What at first glance seems like a journey to move JUST a 50-foot boat from Georgia to Florida develops into a father and son finishing out a dream that was born so long ago. We watch closely as we follow the two along with their family, friends, and co-workers as they struggle through Hardship to complete the lifelong vision.
This documentary emotionally covers the relationship between a father's stern love and the son's grapple for acceptance.
Not only do we watch with anticipation and anxiety to experience the satisfaction of seeing the mission through. But we are taught the concept of working by the sweat of your brow and why we finish things through. The answer lies within the tears of both father and son and the gravitation they earned from the labor and toil it took to accomplish such an impossible task.
