Premise ups the threat by involving a drug cartel. Comedy tries too hard. It is as if the creators have forgotten what makes season 1 good.

Nothing particularly stunning but interesting enough. True to the spirit of the two franchises. Well-paced and consistently good production.

Intriguing premise. Exposition/revelation-driven so the structure is a little crude but pacing is well-managed enough. Solid series.

A nicely produced spin-off that tells the same story from the perspective of two young private investigators Rena and Sato.

Intriguing crime-mystery as a 41-year-old walrus taxi driver tries to unburden himself of the consequences of a missing high school girl.

Not bad ideas but clumsy plotting.

Tight with good pacing, moderately dark, strong characters, decent plot and solid action. Surprisingly good.

Attempts to be in the spirit of the original. It does have the look and feel. Not brilliant but still moderately engaging and entertaining.

Attempts to be a sci-fi mystery-thriller trying to catch a time-traveller. Not a bad idea but pacing could be better and not enough closure.

Decent production. Not bad, but the plot and themes could use more development as it is a little unfocused.

Moderately intriguing. Pacing can be better but no big deal. Nicely edited. Amusing score. Go Min-si is flipping nuts. But in a good way.

Mystery with elements of a horror-thriller framed in a fairy tale–like story. Nothing bad. Just flat. Plotting and themes are a bit clumsy.

Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Solid action-mystery-thriller drama with decent pacing and signposting. Moderately intriguing. Entertaining.

Moderately intriguing but unfocused. Offbeat but lacks comedy. Not bad but can be better executed.

Fairy tale–inspired crime comedy. Not bad but under-developed and fails to move on after hitting its beats so it loses energy.

Supernatural-cosmic horror. Sufficiently intriguing. Decent plotting and pacing. Generally a satisfying read.

Nothing brilliant, nor does it need to be. Tries to be cool. Season 1 is not bad. Season 2’s plotting and pacing issues are more apparent.

Moderately enjoyable despite clumsy plotting. Good performances and would be better if the cast is given more to work with.

Original take. Basically a sci-fi mystery, which is fine in itself except it drags. Serious lack of Godzilla action. Wasted opportunity.

Tacky soundtrack. Lacks explanations re some plot points. Despite its problems, a tight narrative that is still mostly enjoyable.
