Vigilante (2023– )
7/10
Not simpleton, not excellent, but a notch above pedestrian

First thought in the middle of episode one was, this is moving so fast, how far is the plot going?

First thought after 4th episode, this feels like a reworked version Death Note.

The theme has been done thousands of times. This one is just more organized. You can see the multiple mentors knowing what's going on but either accepting the Vigilante or try to steer the antagonist to a different path.

The crime gets bigger and more organized, and thus our anti hero(s) became more obsessed. The climax to me was the confrontation under the bridge when the big muscular cop talk/discuss/fight with the main lead.

The main argument is similar to another Korean show a few years back, Juvenile Justice. The point was justice should focus/help more towards the victim rights, then defendants rights. And of course punishment should fit the crime, especially for reoffenders.

Is that the answer? To fight violence with violence?

It's a rhetorical question.

There is definitely a part 2 coming.
