Parasyte: The Grey (2024– )
4/10
Great storyline---horrible execution
7 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
1. I like the storyline and the initial plot. It is a little bit Body Snatchers, little bit X-Men, little bit drama and police thriller.

The problem...execution.

Direction: Who ever directed this should be sent back to high school plays. The great storyline is COMPLETELY moved forward by plot devices.

A person with a two minute head start in a car, yet the pursuers are right behind them in ten seconds.

In just one episode alone, people coincidentally ran into each other at the exact right moment 11 times, in a city that has 1.5 million people. That is like people knowing each other and running into each other 11 times in Phoenix, San Antonio or Philadelphia, without the use of GPS and totally by accident.

No security anywhere...none. People are walking right up to police sergeant's desks and rummaging through them with no one noticing.

The main characters, police, bad guys & bystanders all make the most insane non-rational decision almost 80% of the time. You are chasing a villain that has killed multiple policemen with guns....and one episode later you say..'Let's split up'.

In another fight, let's go in without any weapons at all, after seeing a bunch of your colleagues die when they had weapons. Just Stupid

Editing: The whole let do 25 edits in a six-second scene ploy. Have to make the scene have more action than it really does.

I seriously debated on even finishing it because of how badly it was directed.
