This is the golden age of binge watching and streaming series. But I find the storytelling cliffhanger formulaic. And reviewing series is time consuming, and the reviews typically have no shelf life.
So I try not to invest in many of those.

Japan remains the most exotic of locales, a manga distillation of east meets west with distinct imprints on sports, romance, sex, gambling, gangsterism and cuisine.
HBO Max, you have our attention.
