"Mare of Easttown" didn't initially arouse much interest in me.
The first two episodes drag on a lot and the presentation suggests that the series is nothing more than another small-town crime story.
Over the course of the series, however, it becomes clear that this is not the case.
The discovery of the body not only creates tension in the viewer in terms of the mystery and the perpetrator, but the tension is also clearly felt in the society of Easttown.
The authors undoubtedly know how to arouse the audience's interest and maintain it throughout the entire series.
"Mare of Easttown" is a very tragic and sad series and allows the viewer to empathize with the characters - even if you haven't known them for very long.
If you are looking for a case that you haven't already solved yourself in the first few episodes, "Mare of Easttown" is undoubtedly a good choice.

"Reservation Dogs" is a welcomed change from the flood of series and films that streaming services bring with them these days.
The series is a well-balanced mix of excellent drama and good comedy. "Reservation Dogs" can probably be compared most closely to "Atlanta". "Atlanta" also brings a certain amount of seriousness with it, but still remains essentially a comedy show.
Both series also bring the viewer closer to a certain culture. In "Atlanta" it is the culture of African Americans and in "Reservation Dogs" it is the culture of the Native Americans.
I found learning more about the culture of the Natives to be extremely interesting to watch.
The series is also very "cozy", if you can put it that way. At times you have the feeling that you are simply observing a society in its everyday life. What contributes to this are the dialogues, which feel very natural.
The dialogues between the teenagers also feel as if they were not written by adults who have not studied youth language, but have consulted people of this age group.
The characters grow closer to the viewer's heart from episode to episode, which is why it is difficult to hold back a tear at some moments.
Anyone who watches "Reservation Dogs" should not expect a really exciting story. The series is mostly about living together in a society and growing up in it.
I would really recommend the series, as I really liked it.

"Monster" is very demanding and complicated. I can say with certainty that this anime is probably the most complicated I have ever seen.
When watching the anime, you don't really feel like you're just sitting back and watching, but it almost feels like you're solving the case yourself - your mind is constantly being challenged and trying to solve the mystery.
Unfortunately, "Monster" was just TOO demanding for me. It might not have been the best idea to watch this anime when you're sick in bed and your head is already pounding, but I've wanted to watch it for a long time and thought that now would be the best time because I have a lot of time - well, I thought wrong.
You can also read on the Internet that only a few people really understood "Monster" without doing some subsequent research.
I wish I could rate "Monster" better because I can really see the effort that went into it, but in my opinion the anime is just way too complicated and leaves you with a bunch of questions that you then have to decipher yourself afterwards.
