Invincible (2021)
You can't help but like the main character
Although at the beginning it might seem like a more polished 80 superhero cartoon, it's anything but.
My TLDR is that the positives of this show significantly outweigh any flaws.
The nits first:
The plot pacing is a bit uneven at times. More specifically, some of the character development happens in too short of span to be comfortably accepted as natural.
Which brings us to the show's biggest strength: The characters are genuinely likable (and dislikable where appropriate) and believable as personalities. The subtle comics and pop culture references are fun, too.
Through the Decades (2016)
Probably the best history show on TV today
Both the idea for the show and the execution are masterful. The old news footage shown has a way of grabbing your attention in a way that a textbook just can't. The selection of events covered in the show helps keep the viewers attention, meandering between different decades, and touching on both pop culture and a wide variety of other newsworthy events from the inspirational to the upsetting.
If I had any suggestion for improvements it would be to let the co-hosts take center stage more often.
