Trese

Trese (Tagalog: [ˈtrɛsɛ]) is a Filipino anime-influenced streaming television series based on the Filipino comic series of the same name by Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo.

Plot
Set in Manila where the mythical creatures of Philippine folklore live in hiding amongst humans, Alexandra Trese (Liza Soberano in Filipino/Shay Mitchell in English) finds herself going head to head with a criminal underworld comprised of malevolent supernatural beings.

Why There Are Monsters Among Us

 * 1) It is faithful to the original comics, from the characters to locations.
 * 2) It represents actual aspects of Filipino culture, traditions, beliefs, folklore, and mythology.
 * 3) Great voice acting from both the English and Tagalog dub as the English dub is serious and toned while the Tagalog dub is entertaining and gives off mother tongue vibes but is intense in darker scenes.
 * 4) Beautiful animation that is very similar to the comics.
 * 5) Great casting choices as most of the cast are either full Filipino or of Filipino descent.
 * 6) Interesting and funny characters.
 * 7) Perfect still shots and background designs.
 * 8) The music can either hype up or mellow the audience.
 * 9) The story has a nice touch as we learn about Alexandra Trese and her companions throughout the series and not all at once.
 * 10) The dark and edgy tone fits the show really well.
 * 11) Well-animated and choreographed fight scenes.
 * 12) Cool references and easter eggs such as the MRT, Camp Crame, Quiapo, New Bilibid Prison, ABS-CBN and Meralco.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) A script error in the Tagalog dub as they could've removed the "h" in hospital.
 * 2) Most of the story is told through fighting scenes and flashbacks.
 * 3) Rushed pacing.

Trivia

 * It is the first Netflix original series from the Philippines.
 * The first Filipino anime series.
 * Trese means thirteen, which is very fitting because 13 is always related to supernatural things.
 * Trese's twin sidekicks are named after Noli Me Tangere characters Crispin and Basilio.
