天下制覇

It's annoying that there's multiple separate shows about magical moon wives this season.

Impressions:

I was pretty sick of this by the halfway point, so about eight minutes even before it got to magical alien forced marriages. Everybody is so goddamned obnoxiously perfect in every single way. Her. Him. The children. Not that you need the story to be Hamlet or Romeo and Juliet to be interesting, but these are characters who think nothing of immediately working a 48 hour straight shift as their onboarding, staying at a stranger's house, etc, while also being utterly flawless at their jobs. Even the goddamned children are the epitome of perfection. Well-mannered, polite, respectful. Then they start reciting OSHA recommendations for healthy workplaces, and you just… you've got to be kidding me here.

You cannot tell any kind of emotional or compelling story with characters this absurd. Or at the very least, not the kind of emotional romance that this is attempting. These are not people. They're grossly idealized 2D cutouts incapable of feeling anything except vague, non-threatening appreciation for each other and everything around them. Even Lassie has to save Timmy from the well. James Herriot has to grapple with ornery livestock. A good, quiet drama does not mean that every character is the model of perfection, with every possible negative emotion and trait so completely sanded off that there's nothing left to the character but gritty sawdust.
