Actress (2023)

One of the best sequels to a series ever.

The synopsis itself contains minor spoilers that diminish the viewing experience (not as bad as the ones for Borderless), please go in blind as the same with Borderless if you come to watch this.

The music was basically perfect and created and atmosphere of suspense unseen in anything else apart from from it's own predecessor. The story itself was different enough from Borderless, where Borderless was about love, this story was about *spoiler* (you can figure it out when you watch it). As always with this series everything isn't always as it seems and it returns with a top level of thought provoking situations and dilemmas. That's not to say nothing is straight forward, of course this being a spoiler free review means that you'd need to watch the series for yourself to understand how good a run of 8 episodes it was.

The acting of one character felt a bit off/exaggerated compared to the prior series (it's really easy to figure out who it is if you watch it), but honestly being the sole fault within a series where the music also more than made up for it this time alongside the rest of the cast, the actual story itself and the entire execution.

This all said, just like Borderless this series may as well have been written by a certain character within the series, alongside being an important magnifying glass into "why criminals commit crimes"", "why do people decide to kill?", telling the stories of the perpetrators over just the classic blanket label that I would say 99% of media does, with a lucky 2 minute backstory if they're lucky.

That's all I can really say without delving into actual spoilers (if the synopsis hasn't already given you a spoiler, it spoils more than my review), watch this series, watch borderless first if you haven't already, this really does clear every other media work of fiction in the world for me and I struggle to imagine anything that can come close.
