No one in this show has any fondness for democracy and the rule of law, not that one should be surprised in what\u2019s fundamentally a cop show. I guess that was edgy and cool 35 years ago (maybe?) but now not so much. Also, as someone who has read way too much science fiction, I find all the stuff about robots and ghosts and whatnot pretty basic, not too interesting, and often delivered through the voice of a character who sounds like a high teenager.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25702\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.draggle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ghost_in_the_shell_2026_review_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.draggle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ghost_in_the_shell_2026_review_1.jpg 640w, http:\/\/blog.draggle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ghost_in_the_shell_2026_review_1-320x180.jpg 320w, http:\/\/blog.draggle.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ghost_in_the_shell_2026_review_1-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>It looks awesome though and overall I\u2019d still say I enjoyed it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Storytelling \u2013 B \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Could be better but it\u2019s fine<\/li>\n<li><strong>Voice \u2013 A \u2013<\/strong> Unique setting for sure<\/li>\n<li><strong>Characters \u2013 C \u2013\u00a0<\/strong>Meh.
