CW: Under The Skin (review)
Smol painter changes career after one of his sketches causes the death of a police officer. Years later, and as a criminal sketch artist, he gets the chance to solve the case.
Well, ~wholesome crime shows (or copaganda if you like) seems to look the same all over the world. Low on the FaFF index, and enjoyable. At times it's hard to hear the sound over the thunder of thousands of slash fic authors cracking their knuckles going "So..."

CW: The Imperial Coroner (c-drama review and possible transphobia)
Innocent young girl comes to the big city, makes some killer autopsies, and wins the heart of a prince. There's also crime, rebellion, and treason.
I enjoyed the ride - it's a historical drama not afraid to go "historical" if needed. Add female friendship and middle aged women who _aren't_ bitches to the mix. But the role of the eunuchs felt unfresh.

CW: The Untamed (review)
The infamous black magician Wei Wuxian wakes up after being dead for 16yrs. Now he has to find out why - but first a(n ejoyable) detour into his epic origin and his relation to Lan Wangji.
To spare anyone just as impatient as me; the flashback ends at ep 31 - enjoy the story. I also recommend watching the series twice to enjoy the first eps and entangle the subplots. It's definitely good enough for that.

CW: Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carrol (review)
TBH there's not much plot in this - it's mostly Alice getting around a strange country with weird characters. It's still one of those classics that _are_ enjoyable to read. You won't regret it, but you may ask 'Dafuq was this???' afterwards.

CW: The Soul review, LGBTQAI+ negative tropes
This is a murder mystery set in the near future. It's well acted, tense, and interesting enough to make me forgive that its only colours are grey and beige (_high_ praise from me). However I lost interest at the Evil Transgender Person and the Tragic Gay Couple tropes. Seriously, movie makers, have some imagination! It's literally your job!

CW: Review Samurai7 (anime, 2004)
This is either the last sigh of the 80s, or the future dystopia is queer. So. Very. Queer. Regardless I love it! The series is based on Seven Samurai, with a few upgrades to the plotline and the characters (sometimes literally). In addition to a good story we get big robots, levitating cities, and - of course - humungous swords.
