Fallout: Season 1 (2024) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Fallout might be the best adaptation of a video game to the screen so far; it is undoubtedly a lot better than The Last of Us on HBO because at least Fallout understands the core ideas of its world and brings it to life.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Ripley: Season 1 (2024) 86% 5/5 EDIT “Netflix gives the famous novel The Talented Mr. Ripley another adaptation with all the production quality it deserves and gives us more of Andrew Scott's innate charisma. What more can we ask? ” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review The Sympathizer: Season 1 (2024) 89% 4.5/5 EDIT “A combination of powerful camerawork, snappy storytelling, amazing actors, and great production value makes The Sympathizer a very different kind of spy-thriller.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Parasyte: The Grey: Season 1 (2024) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “Parasyte: The Grey is definitely not Yeon Sang-ho’s best work, and it seems trying to replicate the success the director found with Train to Busan won’t be easy” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review 3 Body Problem: Season 1 (2024) 78% 3/5 EDIT “3 Body Problem is an adaptation with all the ingredients for success, but it doesn’t match the original material’s efforts doesn’t to create something unique and compelling.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Shōgun: Season 1 (2024) 99% 4.5/5 EDIT “The show manages to translate the classic novel excellently and concretely without ever losing the political and cultural complexities that make the story such a classic.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review House of Ninjas: Season 1 (2024) 100% 4/5 EDIT “House of Ninjas is a fun and entertaining story about a family living in the most unusual of situations, at times it reminded me of Killua’s arc in the Hunter x Hunter manga, and that is quite a compliment.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Mr. & Mrs. Smith: Season 1 (2024) 90% 3.5/5 EDIT “Mr. and Mrs. Smith is a fun and exciting reimagining of the film’s concept, and thanks to the approach the writers, the actors, and the directors have given it, it feels like a concept that could go even beyond in a future season.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 1 (2024) 62% 4/5 EDIT “The original Last Airbender still stands as one of the most fantastic TV series ever created, but this Netflix live-action adaptation does enough to keep the story's essence intact and bring the world to life as we have never seen before.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Criminal Record: Season 1 (2024) 90% 4.5/5 EDIT “Criminal Record is one of the best thrillers in recent memory, thanks to its great pacing, compelling mystery, and excellent performances.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Hazbin Hotel: Season 1 (2024) 79% 4/5 EDIT “Vivienne Medrano brings her creation to Amazon Prime Video, and the result is a hilarious-animated series that knows how to mix both comedy and music perfectly. ” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Expats: Season 1 (2024) 85% 4.5/5 EDIT “Director and creator Lulu Wang brings all her abilities to this project and constructs a unique TV series filled with great performances and visuals that still manages to feel familiar in the best ways. ” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Griselda: Season 1 (2024) 86% 3/5 EDIT “Griselda doesn’t really manage to reach the heights of the first two seasons of Narcos, but it is still a good piece of entertainment. ” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Solo Leveling: Season 1 (2024) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A-1 Pictures’ anime adaptation might not blow people away, but it is an excellent way to catch up with new audiences to the global phenomenon that is Solo Leveling” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review True Detective: Season 4 (2024) 93% 4/5 EDIT “True Detective celebrates its tenth anniversary with the release of its fourth season, which for the first time leans heavily on the supernatural aspects only suggested in its first season.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Ted: Season 1 (2024) 74% 3.5/5 EDIT “Ted is more of the same if you are already a fan of Seth MacFarlane, but while familiar with its tone and formula, it also means it is still quite funny.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Echo: Season 1 (2024) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Echo excels at action and creating an emotional arc for its main character, but an uneven pace and minimal stakes make the show feel inconsequential in the MCU.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Pokémon Concierge: Season 1 (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Thanks to its beautiful stop-motion animation and plenty of good vibes, Pokémon Concierge is the perfect answer for when you feel down or just need to relax.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review What If...?: Season 2 (2023) 88% 3.5/5 EDIT “The 2nd season of What If…? displays the inconsistency in quality that also affects the live-action films, as the MCU keeps expanding too rapidly.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Slow Horses: Season 3 (2023) 98% 4.5/5 EDIT “On its third season, Slow Horses proves that Apple TV+ might have the best content no one is watching by delivering fantastic first seasons and maintaining the quality. ” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review For All Mankind: Season 4 (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Even when it seems that no one is watching, For All Mankind maintains its quality and takes humanity into even more dangerous territory as the adventure lands on Mars.” – Koimoi Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Carol & the End of the World: Season 1 (2023) 100% 4/5 EDIT “Netflix continues to cement itself as the best streaming service for adult animation, proving that the medium can tell profound stories at the same level as a live-action series.” – Koimoi Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Berlín: Season 1 (2023) 70% 3/5 EDIT “Berlin is entertaining if you know what you want.
