Blue Eye Samurai

This show came late in the year, which makes it all the more surprising that it’s managed to make the strong impression that it has. It’s hard to decide what the best of Blue Eye Samurai is, because it all synthesizes and blends into each other so well: a compelling cast of characters voiced by actors working with good material, further boosted by slick animation and a dedication to take itself seriously. It’s one of Netflix’s best original series in years, and a bloody good time well worth watching.
