All in all, the games were intelligently crafted for Alice in Borderland Season 2. The backstories were told effectively to connect the players to the games. And the final twist was chef’s kiss. It was an epic end to two seasons of deaths and it was the perfect explanation for the title and how the characters were linked in the real world. And because there were still some questions left behind, I personally would not mind another season of Alice in Borderland.

All in all, The Menu was not a bad movie. It had an interesting premise and a creative approach to food and the artistry and passion involved in serving the perfect dish. And it was beautifully crafted. For me, it ticked all of the boxes for technicality but I felt that the general sense of cynicism made it hard to connect with the film, or any of its characters.
All in all, it was cute, it was sweet and the perfect way to start the year 2023 with good vibes. It was also not too long with eight episodes. It was, as the title promised, fabulous.
HoTD is doing a good job covering diversity and gender issues, actually without being too preachy about it. Its just part of the realities of the narrative and the show needs not explain itself overmuch about what it is trying to say. Its an intelligent way to treat its audience and it is something, I think that is not lost on the show’s viewers. So thank you, HBO.
We Light the Way laid many foundations for the second half of the season. It seems that Rhaenyra made more enemies than allies with her marriage to Ser Laenor, and you can see the innocence of the first few episodes peel away with each heartbreak for both the Princess and ex- best friend. To say that the episode was stressful would be an understatement. Still, it was a great set up for the excitement that is to come with each faction declaring war.
All in all, top notch animation by Studio Mappa. The film also had a great pace and served well to generate excitement for Season 2. I for one, have a ton of questions. Personally, I would have preferred Yuta’s chapter to have been a six or 12 episode series, much like they did for Rengoku’s arc after the Mugen Train movie.
I was really excited when I heard that Evan Peters landed the role of Jeffrey Dahmer, one of […]
The King of the Narrow Sea offered a lot of progression, and we see Rhaenyra learn how to wield her own power. She discovers herself as she sheds her innocence and actively takes a step towards the dark side like everybody else. Its a slow metamorphosis but she’s getting there. Too bad we will only see Milly Alcock in the role for a couple more episodes.
Despite the lack of action, it was still a good episode. After all, you can’t have a war with each installment. Still, I would have Daemon or Rhaenyra sit on the Iron Throne any day over Viserys. And any episode with dragons is awesome.
After the events of Mugen Train, stakes are higher. After training for a few months at the Butterfly […]
