    When water was shown at the colosseum, I was hoping for the reigning champion to smell blood - The Sharkinator, Carcharodos Carcharius

    Someone asks you afterwards:
    "How was it?"

    Me:
    "See, it's a bit of Sin City... but looks like Batman from the 50s"

    Gorgeous.

    Midnight Diner 2

    ★★★★½

    This series has a wonderfully melancholic, realistic, warm and gripping line of stories underneath the occasionally comedic outer shell. Some of it feel like a caricature too, but it keeps you coming back for those small moments of revelation, grief or happiness that we encounter in reality as well.

    Truly heartwarming. Like a good bowl of ramen or soba I'd say.

    ★★★

    The characters feel a bit shallow even when it seems like Gyllenhaal & Ahmed could both do so much more. It's a shame that the pay-off for the story is just boosting Louis and making him seem more like a superhero with zero emotion and his luck-skill maxed out. It was entertaining and well shot but there seemed to be room to grow
