Christopher R This is the freshest thing I've seen from adult swim or on TV, in freaking Years.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Aaron M Wow what a nice surprise. I loved the storytelling, the pacing and all the characters. It's almost a perfect score for me. Didn't like the ending though. Would have loved if they had wrapped it up nicely in one season. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/25 Full Review Ignacio S Ugly, but wonderful When I first saw the trailer for this series, it didn’t pass my filter — the art direction was borderline nauseating to me. I found it hideous. And no, I’m not saying it’s poorly made; you can clearly see the intention and craftsmanship behind it — it’s just not for me on that front. However, once only two or three episodes had been released, I started reading very positive reviews, so I forced myself to give it a chance — and it absolutely deserved it. Putting aside the visuals (which I still find awful), everything else is outstanding. The pacing is excellent, and the way they introduce new, interesting characters — each with compelling backgrounds and niche references — is something I appreciate far more than the average viewer. The story is classic in the sense that we’ve seen countless tales about big pharma, conflicts of interest, lies, and so on... but it adds originality through its small details, which gives it a soul of its own — something many other productions lack entirely. It’s definitely not for everyone. I don’t think it caters to all tastes — and I actually believe that works in its favor. But you have to enjoy this kind of strong, niche brew. I’d sum it up as the antithesis of a run-of-the-mill Netflix production — and that’s always a good thing. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review Audience Member seré muy personal con mi review, esperaba demasiado de esta serie y obtuve mucho más. cada recurso narrativo, visual y sonoro ha sido explotado con una precisión quirúrgica, como primera impresión un estilo de animación que crea un contraste sólido como un muro frente a su concepto y su guion. a primera vista, la trama seduce con su arco argumental y sus referencias ingeniosas, pero es en los detalles donde reside su verdadera alquimia: cada plano, cada gesto visual, está impregnado de una magia sutil que te sumerge dentro de la serie en una experiencia sensorial, planos donde ni si quiera fue necesario que te mostrarán lo que estaba sucediendo, pues la narrativa visual está tan bien elaborada que aún cerrando mis ojos y tapando mis oídos, podría verlos y escucharlos. la serie aborda un dilema ético y filosófico desde múltiples perspectivas, donde en el transcurso de la serie se van sumando puntos de vista. el hecho de que cada personaje sea tan extremista en su filosofía te hace entender lo preciado que es el "Ángel Azul" y crea esta atmósfera mística en cada uno de los escenarios. esta construcción no solo enriquece la narrativa, sino que invita al espectador a cuestionar sus propias convicciones en un juego de espejos ideológico. el soundtrack, es una obra maestra de curaduría sonora, es mucho más que un acompañamiento: es un personaje en sí mismo. cada pieza musical parece nacer del propio universo de la serie, como si los personajes mismos hubiesen seleccionado las canciones. la selección no solo refleja un gusto musical auténtico, sino que se convierte en un puente emocional que conecta al espectador.
