SK Alexander's review policy

Occasionally, I dive into various forms of media, including books, movies, and TV shows, and review both complete series and individual installments. Here are my star ratings and their respective meanings.

5 Stars: Outstanding
The book, film, or episode is a standout. It offers a fantastic experience that I highly recommend and eagerly expect to revisit again.

4 Stars: Excellent
This piece of entertainment leaves a lasting and memorable impact. I recommend it to others to enjoy.

3 Stars: Average
Good quality, but could be better. The positives and negatives balance each other.

2 Stars: Dreadful
The work falls short and is nearly irredeemable.

1 Star: Poor
A complete disappointment, this work is a waste of time.
