Did the book proud
I was a fan of the comics so when I heard they were making a series I was apprehensive and excited. Would they ruin it or create a gem?
Well here it is and my god it is good. I can't wait for the next series. The casting is incredible, the story makes you very uncomfortable and let's be honest: if normal humans git super powers then this is what they would be like! Mainly arseholes.

Dean (6927 KP) rated Mindhunter - Season 1 in TV

Fascinating
A great all round series as a couple of FBI agents interview violent offenders around the US to try and understand their psyche.
If you like crime dramas, or programmes that look at the psychology of serial killers you'll enjoy this. The acting is very good and it feels well made all round. Some of the later episodes seem to go a little off track from the start. But overall it's a very good series on an interesting subject.

Erika (17789 KP) rated The Department of Sensitive Crimes (Detective Varg #1) in Books
Jul 21, 2019
This is the first novel in the Detective Varg series by McCall Smith. It's lighthearted (as much as a mystery novel can be), and the polar-opposite of nordic noir. The novel is written as a series of short stories, and it was a very quick read. Half of me thinks that this was written purely as a satire of nordic noir, without grisly deaths and violence against women.
I received this book from the Penguin First to Read program (RIP).

Great for those who haven't read the book recently
I was super excited about this TV series having recently read the book. It started off very strong but I've found as the series progressed it left the story line of the book behind in various parts. I have also struggled with the lack of tangible chemistry between the main characters.
I think those viewers that haven't read the book will enjoy it much more because it isn't having to measure up against anything.

Outstanding Programing
Sir David Attenborough once again narrates a series full of astonishing creatures, and some if the most stunning shots I have ever seen. Like the original series, it is broken down into sections, each showing a habitat such as jungles, the deep sea ect. And how the animals within deal with the challenges of that habitat. It is another beautiful showcase of the founders of the natural world and is a MUST see for all nature documentary fans.
AT (1676 KP) rated Yona of the Dawn, Vol. 10 in Books
Feb 20, 2020
The story is finally taking baby steps in a forward direction again. It had seemed like it was at a standstill for the last couple of volumes. Volume 10 focuses on Tae-Jun, his awe of Yona, and his need to please her even though his king would not approve. This character is probably the dumbest, most clueless character in the series. He is, at least in the series, so far. So that brought some necessary lightness and humor to the story.
AT (1676 KP) rated No Game No Life, Vol. 1 in Books
Feb 23, 2020
I don't know anything about this series, so maybe it's an anime that makes more sense. However, as manga, only in the first volume, it's jumpy and confusing. It seems like it's written, assuming that the reader already knows about the world that the characters have been sent to. For me, it was confusing with not enough explanation at times. On a side note, this series is NOT for younger readers. There is a little nudity and some adult situations in it.
