Archive 81 Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeatAugust 24, 2025My quick rating - 7.0/10. Available on Netflix. I am going to give TV shows a try since that is half my viewing. Updates will be posted below after the fact. ( I guess this was my first attempt at TV reviews) Just finished this one up. I thought it was pretty damn good, then again, when is James Wan off his game? I would put this at a 7,3/10, but I never got into rating TV shows due to the episode-by-episode nature. Definitely worth watching. I also liked how it wrapped up in a way that finishes the story while also leaving it open to continue.
