The horror elements in the beginning were great. Most of them, anyway.ĭon't get me wrong, some parts of this show are good. As for the women? Well, they get to live happily with their heroic men once they've come around to realizing just how good those men were to them all along. None of them actually improve as human beings though. In the end, the men are depicted as flawed but selfless, and eventually every single one is revealed to be a "hero" in one way or another. There's a lot of lecturing to the female characters, too, about how to get over themselves and be "better people." The men in the series, on the other hand, are consistently violent and sexist but get a pass because they're ultimately, according to the plot, "misunderstood." There is a lot of blatant sexual harassment, too, of the main character, and nary a conversation goes by that she is not sexualized in some way. She also has no female friends, since the series focuses entirely on the relationships she has with men (that approach her often out of the blue with little suspicion on her part) her one female defender (her sister) is absent for most of the series because she can't bare to talk about what's going on because her never-ending 7-month pregnancy makes her extra sensitive? The other women, few as they are, are vilified spectacularly, some a great deal more than others (watch it and you'll see that it just.escalates), and the prevalent reasons given for their vilification is uncontrollable lust and/or jealousy and/or narcissism and/or a lying nature. Memento, which similarly has a plot around faulty memory and terrible people) do, they just are. These issues are not interrogated within the series in a way that other shows/films (ex. The main character of this show, Mie, is a woman who is gaslit and treated terribly by pretty much everyone for the entire series (which she spends in a mental hospital.not that she is written as doing much other than wandering around her house before she lands there). Let me explain a bit for those still reading. But I found myself constantly distracted by cringe-worthy, trope-y writing that, instead of putting me "on the edge of my seat," had me wondering time and again if any women at all were involved in the writing or filming of this mystery that supposedly centers a female character. To be sure, this show does have what I think my 65-year old father would require in a mystery, and the sound and camera work were well done. I mean, maybe? But if you pick up on what it is blatantly putting down in the very first episodes-which is that women are over-emotional and that they're only bearable as long as their sexiness doesn't, but always manages to, inevitably turn crazy-then there is not much at all novel or surprising about the flow of the story. ![]() The super sonic sound that emanates from these guys is infectious - full of energy and power! And is both a refreshing and medicinal nectar for the soul.The show is.decent, I guess? I don't want to rag on it too much because it is engaging at times, and some people even wrote that its twists were enthralling. Their first EP was released on the legendary label Iono Music and ‘Trip Report’ soared straight in at number two in the charts. The concoction which brewed from their combined crazy minds was magical. From this they drew on their creative spirit - united as one - collectively. ![]() No pre-conceived ideas or tarnished clouded minds but to start a fresh, like a phoenix rising. Tabula Rasa is a blank slate, new beginnings - with an absence of pre-determined goals. ![]() Tabula Rasa is the awe-inspiring new Psychedelic Trance act from Jenia Akerman and Ilya Farbman, both of whom have enjoyed renowned success in the Psychedelic Trance scene as artists One Function (Jenia) and Parallel Dimension (Ilya).
