Parasyte: The Grey (2024– )
6/10
Meh
10 April 2024
Fans of the manga will understandably see this series differently (better). The rest of us who aren't, may not be able to look past the bad CGI, funny head-banging everytime parasytes fight while it can never be clear who managed to inflict anything. Must be embarassing for the actors involved.

I was looking forward to another creature feature from the Korean creators that I usually enjoy, while waiting for Gyeongsong Creature season 2, but was disappointed.

Patchy flow of events, mostly unlikeable characters, too fake-looking of creatures, unbelievable coincidences/logic, like seriously even civilians' cars have dash cams but someone can get away killing a police asset while being surrounded by parked police cars.

The most cringe though, has got to be the team leader lady. Her acting sucks, it baffles me why she was chosen when there's no shortage of good Korean actresses. Over the top acting, screeching voice, condescending tone, with weak back story not enough to justify her behavior.

Four stars for how meh this show is but I'll add two extra stars because it's still better than watching Hollywood garbage loaded with stewpid propaganda.
