Mauseu (2021)

Crime and punishment for psychopaths. 'Mouse' (2021) is a delightful morality fable about the existence of evil in the brain wiring of some people. How far should a society go in punishing child murderers and serial rapists? Should victims and relatives be given more rights to indulge their feelings of revenge? And is forgiveness even possible for psychopaths in a religious sense? Truly one of the better South Korean series. The grimy, gloomy, and somber atmosphere. The outspoken characters who add some warmth to the dark whole. The SF element is initially a bit silly, but it fits the chosen theme wonderfully. You know you're watching a good series when the ending evokes so many different emotions.

Most certainly a very fun series, which is of course absolutely unbelievable, but let's just forget about that for a moment. What is largely true, however, is that, for example, the brains of serial killers are different from—roughly speaking, normal people.
So one could indeed see that there is a chance of criminal behavior, but of course, not everyone with those abnormal brains becomes a criminal!
What has been proven is that, for example, approximately the same deviations have been identified in some CEOs.
I found the acting particularly fantastic, and certainly Lee HEE-Jun's. Sometimes they do scream very loudly, and sometimes I even find it quite comical, but that's just how those people are.
Where I did have a bit of trouble was always remembering who was who, because they are very difficult names that are also pronounced in different ways.
And a series of about 29 hours really requires a bit of stamina; as far as I'm concerned, it could have been much shorter...
