Estación Once

I had to write this just because of the poor reviews on here. Judging from the majority of these reviews, the basic person's attention span is pitiful, at best. No one cares about your quick consumption instant gratification society or your opinions on real art. Real art is thoughtful and unapologetic, it doesn't ask for your acceptance. That being said, I think this series is thoughtful and impactful. It's only made more powerful by Hiro Murai's choices in directing. I didn't know what to expect coming into this series, but I ended up enjoying it tremendously. The premise hits extremely close to home and the main characters and plot are interwoven into an extremely interesting plot. I haven't read the source material, but I love the idea of how the book itself is a plot point. I don't like spoiling things with reviews, but I will say that most of these reviews are from people with a lack of patience. If you can't appreciate a slow burn or a story driven by it's characters more than action or petty drama, you won't enjoy this. The acting is pretty well done, but the show does take it's time revealing details. I felt like the payoff was worth it, though you'll have to be the deciding factor in that.
