"Incredibly strong series, so many life things shown..... The acting is incredible. The ending made me feel really sad. I'm waiting for the next season to immerse myself in this atmosphere again", — sanechek_13.

"After the series I understand that the history I learned in school and then myself is mainly focused on European civilization, and Asia, Eastern countries, Africa remain something exotic and incomprehensible. I didn't know that Japan occupied Korea. Thank you for such series, after which you want to go deeper into the question, history and the past. I am very much looking forward to the second season. The actors are all very beautiful and play beautifully", — yula-semenova.

"Awesome series! Each series caused a bunch of emotions, the actors played perfectly, the script and direction are super. The only thing - it's a pity that the season was cut off halfway through. Now we have to wait for the continuation)", — kathrine_adams.

"The series is cool, at least the idea seems original enough to me, but the ending is a bit stilted and overloaded", — Hername.

"Paper Girls"

Fiction, drama | 3.79 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2022

Creator: Stephany Folsom

While delivering newspapers the morning after Halloween 1988, four young girls are accidentally drawn into a conflict between warring factions of time travelers. The girls are inexplicably transported to 2019 and come face-to-face with their adult versions. Together, they must find a way to return to the past and save the world of the future.

"Godawful and once again, Godawful! When I saw the trailer, I thought, мол, as usual, all the best stuffed in there, and the series will turn out to be a dragged out mudotnya. But no! Nudyatina and dragging was not from the word at all! Constant movement, the development of events, and storylines in general just - delight! I liked the theme with expectations and plans, and the meeting with the future self and the literal breakthrough of everything. The girls really play very cool. And another important point - the music! Off the top of my head, how cool they picked the visuals and soundtracks for each era, just a bow! So, I recommend it to everyone, even those who don't really like comics and sci-fi. Definitely a go-to ;)", — mofogirl.

"Who wants well-described yang-edalt with [unabashed] feminist motifs, this is the place to go. On the content side, a little bit of time twists in the vein of the Darkness series, a little bit of Terminator 2, some nice Spielberg-ishness.... And a great, just great soundtrack", — jedaevich.

"In general, I did not know what to expect when I took up watching, and managed to pleasantly surprise the series. Yes, can not boast of visuals and the script is a little chaotic, but shines with its heroines who happen to be time travelers. The girls are very different and terribly charming, and they play great! Loved exactly my favorite part - the lapping up of each other and the interactions with their grown up versions of themselves", — Shikisen_Hishune.

"Deadloch"

Detective, crime, comedy | 4.01 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2023

Creators: Kate McCartney, Kate McLennan

The sleepy town of Deadloch is awakened when a local man is found dead on the beach. Reluctantly, very different detectives take on the investigation: fastidious local cop Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe, who has come in from the big city. A suspicious death coincides with the start of the annual arts, food and culture festival, and the detectives will have to put differences aside to find the killer as soon as possible.

"An incredible series that simultaneously followed the subpoena and mocked it flat out. Masterpiece humor that was hilarious from start to finish. At first I thought there was nothing good about the series besides the humor, but from about the middle I got into the detective element and was wondering who the killer was until the last episode. The writers incredibly confused the plot, but managed to even everything out by the finale and make every gun on the wall go off. Just wow, that was awesome. It's a ride I'll remember for a long time", — PlayerENO.

"I liked the line of investigation, and mega-specific characters and humor made the series stand out from other detectives, gave it some freshness)))) The series though long, but the dynamics are crazy!" — 11831.

"Absolutely crazy series, I love these:) I liked everything: and all these colorful characters, and the way the authors drove on detective stamps, and how they turned inside out the modern agenda. And all of this at top speed - only time to keep track of all the many jokes and plot twists. Just great!" — Willful.

"Blue Eye Samurai"

Action, drama | 4.62 out of 5 on MyShows | 1 season | 2023

Creators: Amber Noizumi and Michael Green

The series is set in Japan during the Edo period, when the country closed its borders and cut itself off from the outside world. The project tells the story of Mizu, a swordswoman and half-breed who becomes on a path of revenge to get even with the one who made her an outcast.

"Safe to add to my top of best animated series. The combination of the atmosphere of Japan of that era, the marvelous animation and the soundtrack that takes you to the heavens is divine. I recommend everyone to check out the soundtrack by Amy Doherty", — Chyngyz.

"The anime is both astonishing and delightful. You can't take your eyes off of it. Every frame is like a Japanese print that you want to frame. The plot keeps your attention until the end. The desire to know what will happen next does not let go until the last frame. And these fights and battles, when the drawing imitates the camera flying and multiview. How wonderfully directed", — Kukabara.

"Liked literally EVERYTHING, though I was expecting a slightly different ending.
The animation is top-notch, the plot is gripping, the action sequences are beautiful, and Gg is a very interesting and unconventional character who keeps trying to find herself and win the fight with herself", — princess_tisha.
