IWatchTooManyDamnShows

I can not do anything but admit that you have to leave your brain at the door with some things which happened in this show, but as a reward you get a series which genuinely can surprise and shock you; multiple times during its run.

I just finished the long (twenty 1+ hour episodes plus the specials) journey that is Mouse. And what a ride it was. Yes, there's some of that Korean overacting. Yes, some things which happened made no sense. Couldn't that person say something during a certain live broadcast which would have resulted in this show ending right there and then? Yes, yes and yes.

But ohmygawd was I clicking on the next episode button as fast as I could because I wanted to know what was going to happen next.

Plot twists, violence, good characters you can feel sympathy for, good characters you want to hate, impossible love, family values, animal cruelty, death death and death. This show just has it all.

It's not really a series you can watch without it having your attention. Because a lot of characters and scenarios get introduced, and as all the stories come together even the mindfull watcher has to backtrack to check who was who again.

But damn, I really liked it. Recommend it; with the above addendums.

...but I won't continue. I stopped mid second season.

This series isn't bad. The production values are great, everything looks and feels like this show was actually filmed in the 60s. The actors all play their parts right, nothing wrong there.

It's just not engaging. So after the initial "wow, the 60s were so different! Look everybody smokes!" shock value factor goes away. There's not much left to keep me interested.

The main character is so unintersting that his main character trait is basically that he cheats with every woman he sees.

That leaves the side characters to pick up the slack, but most of the men are basically also portrayed as womanizers who (want to) cheat with every skirt with legs. And apart from Peggy, all the main women are either home wreckers, or ditzy trophies for men. Wether as a wife, or otherwise.

"Everybody smokes though, look they even smoke with children present! That's so crazy!"

So no characters one can invest in, as most all are practically flat cardboard versions. No interesting stories, unless you want to see 50% of episodes be filled with cheating men.

The other half of the episode is pretending we are looking at a marketing agency, you know, the ones where nobody ever works but they only drink and smoke and try to pick up the female co-workers.

The only difference between Mad Men and any run of the mill soap show, is that this takes place in the 60s. That, and they had a higher budget so it doesn't look as average.

It is though. Average.

...who has seen his fill of movies and tv series. Way too many of them probably even according to some.

However when a hug can evoke such an emotion as when the Guardians team gave their group hug, then the makers of this here movie did something effin' right.

I will genuinely miss these bunch of characters we have been shown within 3 movies and some guest appearances here and there.

Unexpectedly the films based on the Guardians have been my favourite Marvel movies. Something which I wouldn't have expected at all.

But then had you asked me as a kid which Marvel properties would be made into blockbuster movies, never in a million years would I have guessed the Guardians of the Galaxy. Yet here we are, not only have these movies been made; they are easily my favourite Marvel movie property.

For me the Avengers End Game wasn't the end of the Marvel cinematic universe, the Guardians of the Galaxy volume 3 was.
