The axis powers won World War II.

It’s kind of okay, but it drags its feet then goes woke.

  • Science fiction starts far later, making this a drama.

A key survivor of a world destroyed by a plague is forced to save it. I think.

It’s generally slow and boring; luke warm at best, but recommended if you’re into this sort of thing.

A retired couple has a secret chamber buried in their backyard that leads to a deserted planet. When an enigmatic young man arrives, their quiet existence is upended and the mysterious Chamber they thought they knew so well turns out to be much more than they could have ever imagined.

I can’t say I like this because it doesn’t do enough world building and doesn’t really develop an arc with the time they have.

  • They really, really, lean into age in this show.

A time traveler goes back for some reason I guess.

A weak comedy of some sort, but I’m unforgiving for the woke, so no thanks.

A fancy knockoff of Smash TV.

Exciting and confusing for a bit of fun. Has no victory condition; after some time you are guaranteed to die. Worth a look.

Our dude uses every resource for revenge against the Harkonnen who murdered his family and people.

It would be watchable, even good, if it didn’t have odd gaps in it. It’s as though there is another movie whose cloth this was cut. I’m betting there is a super duper extended length version, because I feel there are missing scenes.

An ugly, unaccomplished, student discovers a hidden world within which he becomes a hero and transforms himself in that and the real world.

It might be quite good, but because the main character is superpowered it’s a pretty shitty story angle; not recommended.

  • aka / properly titled: I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too
  • Note that every episode has an end-credit scene.
  • A second season has been confirmed
