Good cast, fun stories. Definitely good for a binge. I ate it up pretty quickly. Don't really care how similar it is or isn't to the original anime as I never really got into it at the time. All I can say is - I like this.

Don't bother with the negative reviews
12 January 2022
Having read a few reviews before posting my own I've noticed a lot of the negative reviews seem to be a bit emotional, with most blaming their strange discomfort and alarm on the production's deviation from the original source material.
I've seen a few versions over the years but I didn't go into this thinking for one second that it would just be some updated copy, because from the very beginning the story never claimed to be. And how boring it would be if it were. I enjoyed the characters, storyline and locations. Although I do admit that some of the scenes were hard to view as they were quite dark. I also noticed that compared to previous versions they didn't over do the colour pallet. I don't think this hurts the story in any way.
I'm giving this series 7 stars simply because I enjoyed it. I was laid up with a back injury, bored out of my brains and the non stop action and suspense mixed in with a little goofiness was perfect for taking my mind off things. I appreciated the series for the light hearted piece of fun that it is. With a new twist to an old trope and a talented cast to boot. I definitely recommend this series for families and rainy days.

The Prince
(2021)
It leaves a really bad taste in your mouth. Not good at all.

My teen boys didn't last 5mins.
I on the other hand sat through 8 painful episodes waiting for something better to download.
What ruined the caricature the most was how far removed some of the characters were from their real life counterparts. What's the point? Especially William and Catherine. Just no. Not funny at all.
Bringing the kids into it is a bridge too far and quite frankly a bit sickening.
The depiction of the late prince Phillip is way too soon and utterly heartbreaking. And only made worse by finding out this project started before his death...
I even feel sorry for poor Camilla.
But what surprises me the most is well known talents such as Orlando, Dan Stevens, Lucy Punch, Sophie Turner... actually thinking this was good. Let alone in good taste. Orlando said the words clever, witty and affectionately done? What the actual F??? Is he high?
It isn't even original and lends so much from family guy.
I think they will regret this for a long time. Cummings should have his OBE revoked. Shame on him.

Jupiter's Legacy
(2021)
So much better than the reviews are giving it credit for!!!

I dont know why the rating is so low. I effing loved this show! And am gutted that they have cancelled without giving it a real go... There is so much more to see. So many questions....
I guess this is the result when the big wigs only care about what they care about... Money. Not the viewers. Which really is a shame because once ppl get around to watching this. And I mean really watching as we do. Not critiquing it. They would love it too and see all the promise that I do.
Sadly netfix isn't really into things that last....

Character trailers? Is this really it?
9 June 2021
Having already seen Wandavision, this series of what seems like trailers of past character arcs is a massive disappointment. Im not entirely sure who they thought would be.interested in this? Or why they'd want to waste money on it? Honestly, the mind boggles.
Not much better than a fan edit really.
