QUICK REVIEW

This is one of those write-ups where I have to be straightforward with you the reader about the fact that if there is anything I’ll plead guilty to its being a full-blown Godzilla simp. Its Godzilla films that made me get into the movies in the first place, and a vast majority of them are A-tier projects in my book. Included among those is the Monsterverse series of films starring the King of the Monsters and another iconic film creature in King Kong. A series with up and down reviews but audience scores that have been climbing with each new entry. And a series that quite frankly I adore and have enjoyed every entry of.

Now the Monsterverse is adding television shows to their little cinematic universe with the first being a King Kong centered animated show on Netflix that I have to admit to not have gotten around to. Now comes next month a Godzilla centered series that revolves around the monster hunting group Monarch Sciences that tie the whole Monsterverse together. And it won’t surprise you as a self-admitted Godzilla simp that the five episodes Apple so kindly allowed me to watch of the ten episode series makeup for a thumbs up review from me, leading me to be motivated enough to write my thoughts about a TV show for only the second time in this film-centric newsletter’s existence. But that’s not to say there aren’t flaws either.
