I went into this without watching the anime or the Japanese live action adaptation, and tbh it stands strong as a great standalone series. The CGI was incredible. It looked so real and you can tell a lot of detail and effort went into every scene. The storyline was solid with good pacing. Most of the major questions were answered and the plot flowed really well from start to finish. The final fight scene left me pretty satisfied too. The acting was fantastic. Every performance felt believable and added depth to the story. It is a great science fiction thriller that perfectly balances melodrama, action, suspense and gore all in one.

Would I recommend watching it? Hell yeah
I am honestly surprised it has not gained as much attention as it deserves.

My only complaint is that Netflix did not include a second season. There is definitely potential to go deeper with the story and characters if they continued it.

to conclude, Parasyte the grey is an engaging, thrilling and well made series that is absolutely worth your time.
