Barry: the wizard (2023)
What happened to Barry?
I love this show, but the second half of season 4 has fallen off course, pretty badly. Why did Hader let it turn it into some surreal, weird, metaphorical mess? It has totally lost its identity and it makes it even worse since it's the final few episodes. It's like the writers said, "whoops, we forgot all this psychological stuff for the characters in the last 3 seasons, better try to cram it all in there, quick!" The show has always had a good blend of the unexpected and unbelievable with the realistic and relatable, but this last half of the LAST season has taken a strange turn that nobody wanted. And the ending to this episode....oof. Hopefully the writers turn it around and come up with a satisfying final two episodes because it has been a great series. Shout out to NoHo Hank for carrying this season.
Silver Surfer (1998)
Ahead of its time, gone too soon
An intelligent and engrossing series that explores themes of culture, war, and the search for knowledge that are still as prevalent as ever to this day. Beautifully animated (especially for 1998), a true step above the X-Men series' designs, with characters and images that jump off the screen. This show is just something else, truly epic in scale and unafraid to take storytelling risks, which start really paying off later in the season. The new ADD generation can't wrap their heads around it, but this series has more depth than 90% of anything on television nowadays.
