Watching...

Educational, but at the same time very entertaining!

Watched First Season

Not only the show looks gorgeous and makes you wanna sink through the screen to visit in all these beautiful locations, but its story, events and characters are written marvelously mixing real history and fiction and planed carefully with a long term thought on its storyline. Which time to time managed to surprise viewer either with happiness, sadness or anger that I found myself experiencing many times while watching the show and it tells how invested I am towards something that I'm experiencing and caring as well as liking it a lot.
Show's emotional impact is great and it keeps interest on from the start to the end, causing impossibility for keeping breaks between episodes but binging them through on one sitting.
Lovestories can mainly be very cheesy and majority of them are written as well as executed poorly, with haste or the characters chemistry just doesn't transmit to viewer. There aren't many which managed to delivers a plausible, realistic or maybe more importantly tolerable dynamic between two lovers. First I had this feeling with Jamie and Clare, our main protagonists, but in time their love, loyalty and self-sacrifice towards eachother made me care and believing them a lot.
Events, people and problems which either tore our heros apart or unite them are nerv wrekingly frustraiting but satifying and keeps that interest high throughout the seasons. Characters are colorful and versatile and their destinies can be surprising. Many of them getting the outcomes what they deserve and you also find yourself caring many of them a lot and also picking your favorites among them.
I love how the story is constructed, who it advance and how many continent it covers. It doesn't linger, but advances building its characters and story without haste.
And finally this show wouldn't be as great without Bear McCreary's magnificent music. Which originally was the main reason for me to start watching the series and on the process finding out that Ronald D. Moore was the developer of the show. He and McCreary worked together previously on Battlestar Galactica, which happens to be one of my all time favorite shows.
Bear's tunes always manage to deliver a pleasing tracks on every situation and are, as always, chilling to hear while giving a full experience to the events on screen.

Watched Five Seasons

The world so brutal, gory and violent, that some scenes containing one or the other or usually all at the same time had to be blurred using stylished black or white faded bars covering the nasty parts. Guess the makers wanted to show the viewer, that they have some kind of conscience when it comes to violence in ANIME.
But it didn't ruined the action or the show itself for me. Merely was only bugging me.
First season was a nice set up for the characters and the world itself. Main character's Kaneki Ken's story was familiar: Human turned into Ghoul and learning to live the life of one with the help of strong supporting cast and dealing with his unprocessed past, which is blocking him to accept the new me and becoming fully the deadliest Ghoul.
Supporting characters were interesting bunch, but needed more characterization and backstories. Some of them got none.
Introduction at the world of Ghouls, how they set to society and where they've been hunted by the organisation known as CCG (Commission of Counter Ghoul) or the kinds of their own are always interesting subjects to follow.
First season and especially the finale left me hanging and wanting more. So I'm looking forward the second season, which hopefully gives satisfying continuum and fulfills those small gaps which the first season left undone.

Watching Final Season

Watching Second Season

Grim, dark and almost depressing tone reminds a lot of True Detective's first season and it's almost as great as the series itself.
I haven't seen this good cinematography work on any Tv Show yet. Few have been pretty close though. The angles and focusing is something beautifully ominous and makes you eyeing the corners of the screen when either one of these "tricks" are visible.
The story takes its time to build and unveils satisfying outcomes.
The investigation keeps you interested and nailed to the seat, that you don't want any clues to slip by.
Performances were average, as you can expect from the series like this, but Ben Mendelsohn and Cynthia Erivo were definitely the shining stars of the show. Jason Bateman's performance was also good, as was his directing of the first two episodes, which set the standard for the rest of the episodes to follow.

Watched Two Seasons

The production value, and the rating with season two, rose even higher than on season one, as well as Baby Yoda's adorableness.
Season's finale was worth of admission by itself, which gave me chills and a manly tear.
Mando evolved as a character and as Mandalorian considerably and Boba Fett's scenes made him even bad asser and answer to his legend.
As well as someone else...

Completed!

After spending only less than a year with this family, seeing it come to an end made me teary-eyed. I can only imagine what kind of sobbing it would've been if I had start to follow their everyday lives back in 2009.
