Just Beyond (2021)
8/10
Quite the joy
13 October 2021
Much like "Amazing stories" miniseries by apple, "Just Beyond" hits a different kind of an audience and has some takes that can be critically viewed but at the same time be easily related to. The dialogue is fluent and the characters feel authentic, even though some traits are pretty pronounced. Acting is quite good and the screenplay in each episode is pretty solid. Especially after watching what Squid Game had to offer in it's unwatchable screenplay, story and dialogue. The stories were kept short, which at first bothered me but short stories can't really make into full +40 min episodes. Is it thrilling? Could be more. Is it unique? Somewhat. Is it a joy to watch? I'd say so.

The points made were and will be something that hit today's ideologies and worldviews and will divide a lot of the audience. Nevertheless I think the younger and older audiences will find something to relate to. Boycotting Disney, feeling that viewers are being "manipulated" by "leftist" propaganda, having a different political agenda and quite simply feeling offended will make a critically bad response happen after watching the first episode. I find it quite hilarious though how butthurt something so small can affect an opinion when trying to keep a review objective.

Would recommend. Maybe not watch again. Did binge.
