I really enjoyed Castlevania and the third season, especially, was fairly unique for TV and especially animation. Not perfectly executed but interesting. Great to see since adult drama animation is still rare in the west.

Arcane didn't do much for me, but I really don't enjoy long prologues. I think if it had started at episode 5, i would have liked it a lot more. Theres enough context clues about character relationships and word building that the prologue episodes feel unnecessary.

The Patient felt like an actual Jewish story because there is actual cultural tension between Orthodox and Reform/Conservative jews and it added meaning to the main story. Transparent is probably the most Reform Jewish show ever. Admittedly Mrs.Maisel doesn't hit right for me- sure she talks a lot about making briskets, but her complete obliviousness to civil rights or like hiring/housing discrimination in the 1960s drives me nuts!
