Fired on Mars (2023)
Why are new episodes released weekly?
This isn't a compelling show that is going to bring me back week after week. I feel bad for the main character, but frankly I lost interest and forgot about the show after the first episode. It's so funny that we went to the Netflix binge era and then reversed into a weekly release meta, but forgot that the show actually has to draw the audience back week after week. Maybe I'll give this another chance after all the episodes are out. For now, this show is too slow paced and depressing without the deeper thought provoking meanings behind it like Bojack Horseman. As someone who loves adult animation this one is a miss for me.
Soul (2020)
Muddy
I really wanted to love it. I love Jamie Foxx and Tiny Fey, but maybe I was just expecting too much of a strong conclusion due to all the mental health references and "lost souls". In the end he just gets given another chance because he led the "lost soul" to live and overcome depression/worthlessness because she decided life was worth living? It just feels like it was written by someone whos never experienced a mental health condition or struggled with living/finding reasons to live. I was hoping the conclusion would be him using his gift to continue saving lost souls through his music. Just felt like it could have been so much more and really spoke about the mental health community. Mental health isn't just something you can decide to change overnight.
6/10 for the attempt. Cannot give it more because it felt so unfinished.
