Monster by Naoki Urasawa. It’s a psychological crime thriller set in late 20th century Germany. The story follows a surgeon who, years after saving the lives of a young boy and his sister, discovers that the boy was a murderer who has been continuing to kill. It’s really heavy and covers some of the political fallout of world war 2 and the cold war as it follows a really emotional character journey. Highly recommended for its serious tone, lack of juvenile tropes, and precise execution

Yeah.. you hit the spot where, after the end of season 4, they stopped adapting the books and started doing entirely original content. It’s rough, and I don’t think it ever gets better. Might be worth sitting through it just to say you saw it, maybe there’s some stuff that will appeal to you along the way. I couldn’t find much to hold onto after season 4 but I stuck through it to the end.

Regardless if you finish the series, I recommend checking out “the last night” documentary on HBO max. It was a fun and enlightening look into production of the final season, and I thought it was much more engaging than any game of thrones content for years beforehand

I liked house of the dragon’s first season quite a bit, too
