Parasyte: The Grey

I was honestly expecting a bigger bang, but it's fine. For me, it's better than the two-part Japanese film, and the series is only 6 episodes long. The theme of the world being invaded by alien parasites that can impersonate humans is very cool, and the make-up effects and the CGI of the parasites look great. It's pretty much action packed, even pleasantly brutal, the characters are fine, the plot could have been more nutritious, but I had fun and it went by quickly. It's between 3-4, but I'm leaning towards the better mark. (06.04.2024)

It's hard to tell if I'm reviewing the entire series or just its first season at this point. Nonetheless, the finale certainly left the door wide open for a potential second season, and I wouldn't mind seeing it. While this season may not be a masterpiece, the creators delivered a fresh, action-packed spectacle with a B-movie vibe based on the comic. It kept me entertained without overwhelming me mentally. / Lesson learned: Two heads are better than one. 3*+ (28.04.2024)
