Was it perfect? No. A lot of stuff very much strained credibility, and one can't help but wonder what would have happened if they'd just unplugged the SBC right at the start.
But I was gripped. I watched this as it aired on BBC One, rather than just binging the whole show, and I was hooked from the beginning to the end, and that's honestly all I require.
I'm pleased to say that most of my predictions went nowhere, and that's a good thing. That would be boring, and if there's one thing this show didn't do, it's bore me.
Give it a watch. It's not like you're locked on a train, unable to stop.

I've watched this whole show today, which isn't something I expected, but it had me hooked the entire time.
The plot is simple. A woman is reunited with her best friend from school, someone she's not spoken to in a decade. And it seems that she's in need of help, having just gotten divorced, and having nowhere to go.
What follows is a masterclass of manipulation that Friedrich Dürrenmatt would be proud of, as Himeno bends everyone around her to her will, with no-one safe from her games.
Yamaya Kasumi is great as always, having come a long way from her days of fighting Youkai as Momoninger. She always seems to be acting, and I'm happy for her, since she clearly deserves it.
The rest of the cast are also good, but it's absolutely Kasumi in the title role that steals the show.

Starfield is everything I was hoping for. I've got about 100 hours in it right now, and I'm sure I'll get many more in. The game is essentially Skyrim in space, which is exactly what I wanted. Some people seem to be disappointed by that fact, and I honestly don't know why. They seem to have gone in expecting something else, without any indication why.
Bugs wise, I've only had one major one, and even then it wasn't really "major". Certainly compared to Elder Scrolls games, it's bug-free.
If you like Skyrim, you'll probably like this. But if you go into it expecting GTA 6, as some people seem to have done, you'll be disappointed.
