Parasyte: The Maxim (2014–2015)
9/10
A classic I regret waiting so long to Watch.
1 April 2020
For those who shy away from gore I'd suggest trying to make it through the first few episodes, unlike the major of the last 20+ years worth of "horror" this is not "gore porn" but brutality with a purpose, critical to the story.

The violence and pain all serve a purpose, telling a story and helping to define what is/not human.

For such a short run (24 Episodes) it does a unusually good job of capturing the stages of grief and the resulting "hollowness" that can be felt by those subjected to repeated trauma. It doesn't stop there and even highlights the growth that can occur as a result of enduring these hardships.
