Minamdang (2022)
It's great apart from the female lead character
It's funny mix of investigation drama and comedy. Almost all of the characters I can get on board with apart from the female protagonist . I kind of feel like it would be just better without her focusing more on the shaman group trip and their interaction with police etc. She doesn't have a real purpose nor values one can get behind.
It's still worth a watch and I enjoyed it a lot just wish the female protagonist had a better character or if it at least was developed or evolved trough the series . She remains stubborn and a hindrance to the investigation even when she sees she has been wrong. Her morals are a little shady.
Meantime the characters from the shaman crew are well presented developed and you will definitely get behind them.
Over the top features remind of a conic or superhero series that I like a lot I think brings lightness to the series.
Rizzoli & Isles: East Meets West (2016)
Love the show but not this episode
There is no Latvian mob and Latvians don't speak Russian but Latvian . If you want you can have Russian mob why change that to in Latvian and have them all be Russian ? And the Chernobyl connection lol 😂 as I said I usually love the show but this episode was very disrespectful.
Also the fact that people from Latvia are all prostitutes and gangsters was a bit far. When portraying small nations that have been oppressed for a long time and getting all facts wrong and showing that like they would be some sort of low end third world country I find that very disrespectful.
As I said normally I love this show but a bit of correct cultural respect goes a long way.
