An absolute gem which moved me to tears

Warning: Spoilers
We follow a young woman who wants to reinvent herself after a bad time. She's is initially crushed by the pressure of working as Pokémon Concierge, only to realise it's all in her head and the key is to let go. She manages to pass on this wisdom and better the life of man and mon (excuse the pun) alike.

I felt all the love the creators have poured into this, the Pokémon are off the charts cute and the story works well. It's only 4 episodes, but then again, it feels to me that's the perfect amount. I was looking forward to having a new cutesy Pokémon series, while I enjoyed the Detective Pikachu film, the depiction of Pokémon was sometimes a bit to realistic, Concierge does not suffer from this, everything is just so nice and friendly.

While I tend to be quite a snob when it comes to film, I wanna feel all the emotions and have real life stories, this series does the one thing that nothing else seems to be capable of - It just makes me happy! The shy Psyduck who's afraid to hurt others with its powers, the silent pikachu, who's not a bubbly icon and wants to keep to himself, there's room for all of them, maybe even for me.
