I had to put myself in the shoes of a Western viewer. The accents may sound exotic, clipped, mixed with Latin-American dipped in some Eastern European country... but the voice acting, is just... flat, as if they're all being fake in loud mode. There is no breathing, no real emotions, even happy or frightened exclamations felt like being read from a book, and sounds like a 90s cartoon. I realized that the cast were chosen only to represent percentages of Filipino blood, their voice acting abilities thrown out the window.
Trese is a Constantine/Dresden Files cop-... no, 'inspiration'. I know there's nothing fresh and original in the world anymore, but when the unoriginal plot becomes another 'chosen one', it deeply saddens me, even though the creatures and lore are originally Filipino.
The animation is alright, as many have said, reminiscent of DC. However there is no distinguishable art or style, as lazy CGI is used every 10 seconds. If the comics where given tribute, the black and white ink would have given it some more atmosphere. Given that Trese is really an overly serious Daria, it doesn't help that she has absolutely NO character quirks. Imagine a brooding and serious Alucard being brooding and serious all the time, with zero humor or preferences... boring.
The lore may be too much to handle. But there is no need to dig in deep. Just skim the surface, there's actually no lore factor that could change the plot.
Soundtrack is good though. It's a mix of ethereal and ceremonial synthpop. Horror and Violence... not so much, as most are cut out and happen mostly to monsters. Nothing disturbing here, so no Invincible graphic death anxiety/excitement.
Overall, it's a good promotion of Filipino culture and a good amount of Filipino-baiting. But the story, characters, animation and acting are all... mediocre and boring.
Oh, and I know the real 'Hank' from whom the character is based on. He's a real bartender, ex-rockstar, ex-model. He got upset at me once for leaving him alone in a kids' party.
