Rocko's Modern Nostalgia

Contains spoilers, click to show

To say I was excited when it was announced this special was happening would be an understatement. Rocko was one of my favorites as a kid. It was strange. It was weird. But at the heart of it all, it was always smart. Static Cling was no different and on top of it all, it was relevant to today. That's always the fear of these throwback projects. Yes, it worked in the past but will it work today. The answer folks is Oh Hell Yeah! I was honestly shocked at how good it was. So the theme throughout this special change and our different responses to it. Here's the part I say SPOILER ALERT. The plot starts when Rocko discovers his beloved show the Fat Heads was canceled while he was in space. He decides to go on an adventure to bring it back because he thinks he can't live in a world without it. Fast forward he finds the creator, Mr.BigHeads son, only he is now a woman. Though everyone else excepts this change Mr.BigHead does not. Rocko tries to help MR.BigHead accepts his daughter so she will make a Fat Heads special. Mr. BigHead eventually does come around and his daughter makes the special but it introduces a new character that Rocko does not like. It is such a well-told modern story and I recommend EVERYONE to watch it on Netflix right now!

An absolutely gripping series, with Jodie Comer's superb acting and her ability to change into different accents, characters and the fluidity of her character is excellent. We get to know the devastation that Villanelle can create and her gruesome ways of killing. Jodie Comer is able to portray the evil of the assassin, but also delve deep into the character to unveil the psychology behind her, as well as the soft side of the character.

I do love Sandra Oh as I had previously seen her work in Grey's Anatomy, so I was very excited to watch her in this. Again, to see her character become obsessed with her career (as in Grey's) gave her some continuation as an actress. However she surprised me when she was able to show a loving side towards Villanelle, emotions and affections that she did not perhaps show towards her husband.

As weird as it was I found myself wishing that the Good would fall in love with the evil vice versa and that the evil would be transformed into good because of the influence.

We were able to view amazing scenery in which different scenes and episodes were filmed.

What is also fascinating and exciting that some of the kills in the series are based of real life assassinations and murders, which I read up on today! They were able to capture these brilliantly.
