Mad Men - Season 2 (2008) - Rated 09 Oct 2026
Mad Men’s second season is a sharp study of how femininity gets manufactured, in ad copy and in daily life. Through Peggy, Joan and Betty, it shows women negotiating roles written for them by men: the ambitious one whose rise has a hidden cost, the office virtuoso whose skill hits a ceiling, the wife slowly learning to want for herself. Patient, gorgeous, and only occasionally seduced by its own period gloss, it’s television at its most intelligent.

Dragonball Evolution (2009) - Rated 08 Oct 2026
Dragonball Evolution is usually mocked as a betrayal of its source, but its real failure is more ordinary. It runs on the standard teen-hero template, keeping the brand's signature names and moves as decoration on an interchangeable chassis. Too clumsy to hide its machinery, it accidentally shows how the culture industry converts rather than interprets. Even the backlash and ironic fandom stayed inside the market, asking only for a better product. - Full Review

Bleach - Season 4 (2006) - Rated 04 Oct 2026
Bleach's maligned Bount arc is filler, and that's the point. It's a story about a people the afterlife's order would rather forget, told in a format the official story is free to forget too. Read through Fanon, Soul Society looks like a colonial city, and the Bounts' grievance is real even when their violence lands on the wrong targets. The arc often loses its nerve, but it asks who counts as a person in Bleach's world more directly than the canon ever does. - Full Review

Mad Men - Season 1 (2007) - Rated 30 Sep 2026
Mad Men’s first season studies a society that survives by absorbing its own critique. Its ad men don’t sell products; they sell absolution, turning private longing into public want. Even liberation arrives as a marketing opportunity. The show is caught in the same trap, selling 1960 back to us as glamour and ache, but it knows it. By letting us feel the seduction and then its cost, it keeps open the gap between what is and what could be. - Full Review
