    109. Three-Body

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 30 episodes

    Overhyped.  Beginning was great with scifi, mystery, and suspense, but then a ton of pointless filler content until the end.  Last episode had too much crammed in.

    Chinese Drama - 2022, 36 episodes

    6.0

    So slow and boring.  Way too preachy, felt like a Disney movie for kids where everything is force fed to you and nothing keeps you mentally engaged so you nod off.  Only mortal realm arc was enjoyable.  Do not recommend.

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 23 episodes

    136. Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store

    Japanese Drama - 2016, 10 episodes

    137. Take My Brother Away

    Chinese Drama - 2018, 30 episodes

    8.0

    Tone was very inconsistent.  Some parts were fun, light, and silly (enjoyable to watch).  Then other parts were super serious.  Wished they stuck with one tone.

  • Desire Catcher

    144. Desire Catcher

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 24 episodes

    147. HIStory4: Close to You

    161. Because of You

    Taiwanese Drama - 2020, 10 episodes

  • Beauty of Resilience

    173. Beauty of Resilience

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes

    8.5

    Ok.  Seems to offer nothing new though the mortal realm arc was super enjoyable to watch as actors got to play different roles, and everything after was enjoyable, too.
