The Girl on the Train
The Girl on the Train is a bleak, slow-paced mystery with unlikeable characters, minimal growth, and a predictable ending, 6/10.

Ted Lasso
Ted Lasso: Season 1 shines with humour and character depth. Everything after is catastrophe of rushed development and forced drama. 2/10.

The Bear slices through the noise with raw realism, rich character work, and reverence for the culinary craft. It feeds my soul. 10/10
-
Shogun
Shōgun balances sharp political intrigue and strong characters with rigid cultural fatalism and an oddly anticlimactic ending. Still oddly compelling. 7/10

The Guest List
The Guest List is a murder mystery where the murder happens in the last 50 pages which makes it a pretty bad murder mystery. For the other 250 odd pages before it’s just depressing people being depressed about their depressing lives.
