Last night I started watching From which stars Michael from Lost. And I've got to say as someone that can be really brutal about TV Shows (Live Action and Animated) this has actually been a decent Show 4 episodes in. Michael from Lost and the weird guy that's basically the John Locke of the programme are my favourite characters so far, the mystery is actually interesting rather than wafer thin like some of the similar Shows that I've watched on Netflix recently. And From might have one of the best theme tunes that I've heard in awhile with their cover of Que Sera, Sera. To be a bit more balanced though, I'd say that the pacing is a bit slow in certain scenes, and I personally don't like the family drama very much, but thankfully it's not shoved down your throat too much so far if you're bothered about them like myself.

Also I'd say episode 7 has to be one of the most fun and intense episodes that I've seen from a Live Action American Shows in years, because as well made as some Shows have been in recent years, they do sometimes lack that little bit of excitement imo that makes me want to come back and watch more, where as I'll gladly come back for From Season 2 even if the family Drama could sometimes be annoying to me, because ultimately the rest of the Show was actually interesting. Also on an Anime front I have had a bit of lull after watching Devil May Cry & Kingdom as they were really good Animes imo, in different ways too. But I finally landed two hits for myself. I'm not gonna be very good at describing either Show, but here it goes. Saga Of Tanya The Evil - Tbh I was really unsure about this Anime going into it because it was an Isekai (which can be an up and down genre for me) and I was concerned that it was gonna be a try hard in all of the wrong ways. However I was gladly wrong, it was a really fun series, Tanya in particular actually being a much better character than I ever expected her to be, the supporting characters were fun to watch as well, and yes the plot is clearly unrealistic and bonkers, but it actually suits the tone of the Anime really well. Again it was nice to see an Anime series that was fun to watch, and coming from an unexpected source. However just to warn people if you don't like Reincarnation, Isekai, Action, Political, or Shows lead by Loli's (thankfully this one wasn't sexualized thank god) then this Anime won't be for you. I can't express enough how entertaining this series was for me though, I actually can't contain my excitement for the series, a 7.97/10 on MAL is shameful imo, it needs to be higher. And then the next Anime that surprisingly won me over was Vivy - Again I was nervous about the weird mix of Sci-Fi, Action & Music as it's three main genres, in particular the Music part was the real jarring part for me to get around at first, but tbf the series is really well made for the most part, Vivy & Matsumoto have a really strong dynamic, it's one of the Shows strongest selling points imo along with an interesting world, Animation, fight scenes & some really strong background Music in the episodes imo. For me it weren't as exciting as Saga Of Tanya The Evil (but tbf they're totally different Shows so I'm being harsh comparing them) but Wit Studio did an exceptional job on this series imo on a technical level, especially considering it wasn't based on any source material and therefore had to come up with the idea themselves, it was an impressive effort, especially considering Vinland Saga was a huge disappointment from that Studio imo, Vivy has given me some confidence in them again. But basically think of Vivy as a weird blend of AOT with the Action scenes, Steins:Gate, Ergo Proxy with the AI concept and certain themes that happen in both Shows, and bizarrely IdolMaster. If you like any of those series that I've mentioned then you have a chance of liking Vivy, if you don't like any of them then you're gonna hate Vivy. Apologies for the review being so long, but it's so nice to talk about certain Shows in a positive light again, because I was wondering if I was being too harsh at one point.

I've watched the first 6 episodes of Devilman Crybaby.
It's an okay Anime, it's not the most revolutionary Show in the world, but it's decent.

It has it's moments, but overall the writing is just a load of gibberish if I'm to be brutally honest. There are definitely entertaining moments in the Show though, and the Music is quite strong in the Show. I've also watched the pilot of The Midwich Cuckoos, and so far it's got some interesting ideas, and Keeley Hawes & Max Beesley are doing good performances imo, but the pacing in the first half of the episode was tediously slow, I honestly don't get the trend of pacing Shows out like this. But otherwise the Show has potential imo. And I'm also watching the 13th Season of NCIS: LA, and tbh the Show has never been the best written Show in the world, but it kinda knew how to be tongue in cheek with it in past seasons. Where as this Season is tone wise very different to the other Seasons as it's trying to be much more serious than the Show was ever intended to be for most of it's run imo, plus I'm gonna be controversial and just say it, the Show this season has a real bad habit of repeating the same case every week. It's basically white supremacist goes around being abusive to other races through various methods, now don't get me wrong I never complained when it first happened in the season because well why would I? But 8 episodes into the season and it's either out and out white supremacy episodes, or even in the rare episodes that aren't like that they'll still get either Deeks, Rountree (because this character can't exist without racism) or Fatima doing some blatant messaging about how racism is bad, it's almost like they think that racists will change their ways just because NCIS: LA tells them to. Now don't get me wrong some of the messaging morally speaking is actually good, and I honestly don't mind the odd episode on the topic in a season, but I swear to god this Show is obsessed with race, like really obsessed, to the point sometimes where they're ironically kinda racist in the way that they write Rountree but I'm sure some people will probably think that I'm really harsh in saying that. And tbf I actually don't mind Kilbride & Fatima out of the newbies, some of their scenes can feel a bit forced sometimes (and I personally prefer the characters that they replaced) but I can easily accept them as replacements, so just to be balanced it's not all bad. But seriously they need to cool it down a little bit on the white supremacy episodes, there's actually nothing wrong in making them, but they shouldn't be making up half of the season so far.

God I'm 3 episodes into The Midwich Cuckoos and I'm really starting to struggle at this point.
The plot just ultimately seems too basic for a TV Series, because the Show is having to do a ridiculous amount of padding just to fill out the episodes that I've watched. I think that it could be a good Film if done well, but as a TV Show there's just not a lot there to keep me interested. And again I am annoyed that an otherworldly programme has to duel against boring Drama segments rather than just be allowed to be a creepy Thriller Mystery series. Keeley Hawes & Max Beesley are doing good acting performances though.

Yeah I dropped Midwich, it was too dull imo.
I've started watching FBI International and the first two episodes were okay, it's my first time watching a Show from the FBI franchise so my knowledge of the story in the pilot wasn't very good. Overall the lead looks like he is gonna be decent, and the Dog is cool. I've also started BBUSA 24 which as I've said on it's discussion thread was the worst launch show that I've ever seen to any Big Brother, it just wasn't very gripping imo. And I've watched the 9th episode of NCIS: LA, and again there's some okay moments in the episode, and it was nice to see that the Show wasn't race baiting for a change, so that's a plus, but as usual because the Show wasn't race baiting it meant that Rountree couldn't be in the episode, typical for that character because the Show is very racist imo and just sees him as the black guy, which is ironic given how much the Show preaches about racism being bad. Instead though this episode decided to be political in a more lazy way imo, going for Incels and Social Media. Social Media has basically become the new Video Games for older generations (which TV Writers are normally in that demographic) where they take a genuine negative trait of an industry (in this case Social Media) and just sledgehammer that it's bad without showcasing any of the positive sides of Social Media, and TV Shows only hate Social Media (like they hate Video Games) is because Social Media basically gets more people using it instead of watching TV, it dares to be more popular basically, but they like to pretend that it's some moral reason why they have taken an issue with it. And with the Incel topic, for me it's so trendy to bash men nowadays that it's kinda tiring tbh. Don't get me wrong Incels are horrendously bad, I personally find their views really disturbed (just to make it clear) but most people with any kinda common sense already knows that Incels are bad, and their attitude towards women isn't healthy. However along with the fact that the Media is teaching younger women to hate and fear men (which isn't a healthy mindset) the story of Incels being bad isn't even daring in the slightest, political stories work best imo when they are made only on special occasions rather than every week, and the topic at hand is divisive for it's time, and the Show is boldly going where no Show has gone before. If anyone reading this thinks that being an Incel is okay I'd honestly recommend that you go and see a Therapist, and I'm being serious. And I honestly think that 95% of people probably already think the same as me on this topic, so why the **** make an episode on it? It's just a pointless episode at that point. Imo people should like at DS9 with Far Beyond The Stars. The episode was the only one of it's kind in all 7 Seasons of the Show (which makes it have far more impact immediately) and it was more bold to cover racism towards black people being a problem at the time, because in the 90's Avery Brooks (the Actor who played Sisko) had quite a few detractors at the time just for being black, and then daring to be a black Actor to lead a Star Trek Show, so at the time the Show was being brave by confronting some of their own viewers with that particular episode, especially with the 50's setting making you realise that those days had some severe issues with racism. NCIS: LA in 2022 tackling similar political issues that 50 million other Shows also tackle just isn't very exciting imo. I wish that LA would just tell a story that's not aggressively Political tbh, and just be a bit of fun, but if it's gonna be Political then pick something that's not being covered so much in life already.
