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.

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.
