(TV SERIES) AARO - All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office Season 1 - Interesting Series Focusing on Investigation of Mysterious and Supernatural Cases

I noticed in the past few months there were several new interesting Japanese shows released on Netflix. This was one of them that I was eagerly anticipating till the finale. Finally after waiting for a while, the last episode was made available last week. So I started watching on Friday and finished it on Sunday night. OK, why don't I just get to it then?

Brief Story Line

In Japan, there was an old secret organization called Zenketsu (translated to English as All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office/AARO) where it focused on investigating mysterious cases. Its Deputy Chief Miyabi Okitama (Tatsuya Fujiwara - School Police TV series, Memoirs of a Murderer etc) was their lead investigator with amazing deduction ability and vast knowledge on historic supernatural stuff. To assist them, Koyume Ameno (Alice Hirose - Bubble, 366 Days TV series etc) from PR Dept of Metropolitan PD was assigned to AARO even though she had no prior experience in investigations.

Den of Thieves 2: Pantera - Sequel to the 2018 Heist Action Movie that is Better Appreciated by Critics though Slightly Less Entertaining for Action Fans

When I saw the poster to this movie in the cinemas, I was quite surprised as I did not think the original was such a big hit that warrant a sequel. Plus we saw it quite long time ago (back in 2018) that my wife and I have completely forgotten the story. Anyway, we were still interested in seeing it in the theaters so we went ahead and do it yesterday. All right, I'll get on with it then.

Brief Story Line

After the events of the first movie, Big Nick (Gerard Butler - Kandahar, Last Seen Alive etc) found that the mastermind of the previous heist on Federal Reserves Bank, Donnie (O'Shea Jackson Jr. - Long Shot, Cocaine Bear etc) was planning another hit in Europe. After some brief investigation, Nick managed to find Donnie in Nice, France getting ready for a diamond heist.

(MINI SERIES) Missing You - A Pretty Decent Adaptation of Harlan Coben's Novel

This latest series from Netflix was released beginning of the year and immediately reached the Top 10 Watched in Indonesia. Since the premise sounded intriguing and people seemed to dig it, I decided to give it a try after finishing another series. It did not take long for me to finish and I managed to complete it during the weekend. OK so here's more on the series. 

Brief Story Line

Kat Donovan (Rosalind Eleazar - Class of '09 mini series, Slow Horses TV series etc) was the lead Detective for a missing person case and reporting to her superior Detective Chief Stagger (Richard Armitage - Ocean's 8, Berlin Station TV series etc). While investigating, a teenaged boy named Brendan (Oscar Kennedy) approached Kat specifically and requested her help to find his missing mother. Despite her skepticism, Kat still tried to help Brendan.
