the Girl With All the Gifts: I imagine the scene at the start with all the kids in restraints would be extra freaky for someone coming at this movie cold.
the Tick s.1: Not as zany funny as the cartoon, but much action-y than the previous live-action version. I did like the expansion to Dot's character. And the rest of the cast, main and supporting all do good work. A little bit irritated at the whole release 1/2 a season and then the rest sometime next year thing.
Little Witch Academia s.2: Basically the same as season 1, cute and amusing if slight. Expected stories push Power of Friendship and the Real Magic is Believing in Yourself and so forth.
Arrow s.3: Early part of the season meanders a bit before focusing in on Ra's and the League of Assassins as the main foe. And Amanda Waller (outside of when written by a very few writers) has motivations that just remain baffling, making the flashback portions weaker than previously. But strong character work and some very strong episodes in the back-half.
