Ivanna Sakhno is risking getting type-cast ...

IDK, findecanor,  are we to comment that a 27yr old woman, that sets the beauty standard of the 21st century, might get type-casted.

Realistically, she doesn't even have to work, acting is just a hobby for people such as this. There's 100s of rich men that will pay her bill for the next 5-10 years. And the very worst outcome, she saves 2 million in a dividend stock, she's set for life.


The only thing that could trip up a person in her position is something like an eating disorder or drugs/alcohol.

I don't understand what you're talking about. What I mean is that this is the third time she has played a mentally unstable hit-woman of sorts.

What? TP4?

It's not about understanding, it's about accepting the true flow of the Universe.

Season 3 of One Punch Man is so far..... not good.
Almost zero plot progression has happened in 4 episodes, nothing is happening, just people sitting around talking about nothing.
I don't understand how all this nothing was not just cut for.... SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

Literally every episode so far: People sitting around a table talking. The **** is this?

Yeah, this is actually a problem with any consecutive seasons of any shows - for me at least - I know that normally when first season is out and its something new for us, we love the show and second season has always hard time to keep up. But I noticed in last maybe 5-10 years that almost all shows has this kind of numbness, lack of action, story progress - personally I think that producers want to, AS ALWAYS, squeeze as much money as they can from the viewing results by stretching the story - filling episodes with empty content, push away serious story turns of events and things like that. I HATE that! That kills the shows for me instantly.
Then second thing that kills the show for me is the time breaks between seasons. I get it, it takes time to film new episodes, but cooooommoooon, it doesn't haev to be 2 years between seasons!

I grew up with 3 channels of broadcast TV, and no form of recording or "time-shifting" ....

Most shows had new episodes (20+) from early fall to mid-winter, then they were repeated, in order, until mid-summer. We got used to it.

Additional channels and syndicated re-runs came around in the 1970s and video recording did not become widespread until the 1980s.

A big annoyance for me recently is good shows that were cancelled abruptly after 1 season - on cliffhangers!

Oh yes, it happened to few shows I liked, for example The Chair. So nice, funny... and cancelled after first season

I just watched the entirety of Smiling Friends. It's very on par with Adult Swim's standards for brainrot.

cancelled after first season

The Peripheral and Moonhaven come to mind quickly.
