The Sanctuary is a must watch on Netflix!
Had some free time yesterday so I figured to binge watch something on Netflix. Life's been a bit busy these days and I haven't enjoyed a movie or a series for a while now.
After a bit of scrolling I decided to go with The Sanctuary. Trailer seemed nice and it was just 8 eps long which is perfect for a one day binge.
The sanctuary is a Japanese Netflix drama with a bit of dark comedy here and there, about a cocky, wanna be summo wrestler trying to find his place in the world
A tough, desperate kid becomes a sumo wrestler, captivating fans with his cocky attitude — and upsetting an industry steeped in tradition (via Netflix)
If you are too lazy to read my post, here's the tldr. This is one of the gems in the endless sea of poop known as Netflix. Go watch it now!
When I started the show I didn't have any expectations. And I must say that before it I had no idea about SUMO, other than it involves fat dudes trying to push each other out of the ring. Well turns out and there is much more than just that 😂
Now, I don't know how close to reality the series is but it seems to touch various dark subjects that are related with the sport, like bullying, nepotism etc etc. And it seems like it does a good job at that.
The fights are also pretty decent and there is even a really really really WTF moment! I'd never guess sumo could get so brutal!
But what is most important is that it has a good coming of age story that is executed exceptionally good. I got hooked up from start to finish, no breaks taken!
I also liked the ending which at first felt like a cheap hanger cliff for a season 2. I won't give any spoilers at all but as I write these words I think the ending is perfectly fine. The story was told beautifully for all the main characters and it's better to close it that way instead of going for a mediocre money grab season 2. After all, without spoiling too much... The final outcome really doesn't matter!
Something final I want to add is that I enjoyed all the comedic moments. They are just enough to give you a couple of good laughs without feeling out of place or cringy.
Overall, an amazing watch and easily one of the best mini shows on Netflix. An easy 8/10 from me. Give it a watch, I bet you won't regret it! Especially if you like big male asses!!!!
Good job Netflix 👍👍

Even the trailer is dope. It's exciting and all..
But there's no way I am going to re-subscribe my Netflix... Lol
This summo wrestler seem to be getting on the nerves of the big dudes though
You can just watch it on Fmovies, there is no reason to be subscribed to any of these platforms if you have a little patience someone will upload it somewhere else. !PIZZA

Great show, don't miss it sir
Alright, I am pulled in to watch after reading and got enchanted after watching the trailer. I am downloading it tonight to find my "Sanctuary"😁
I appreciate the tdlr :). When I see netflix, I normally don't read it, but I'm glad I did and this show looks intriguing, ngl.
This looks intense. I don’t know very much about Sumo, actually I don’t know anything about the sport at all but seeing a young upstart try to make a name in a traditional sport alongside what looks like some other engaging characters looks like it could be a fun watch. Eight episodes isn’t too bad either. Cliffhangers can be a mixed bag. I understand the appeal of getting the audience hooked for more but it’s also nice to end things on a complete note too—but some cliffhangers can be rather shocking and maybe accomplish completeness if they match the overall tone of the story, especially one that focuses on uncertainty.
Seeing the Benchpress bar and the team doing bear-crawls and lunging up a hill while holding dumbbells reminded me that Sumo like any sport requires tons of training. It seems so simple—pushing people out of a circle—but I imagine there’s a bunch of different nuances and techniques involved.
I’ll have to flip on some Netflix and give it a watch soon.
You do that!
Btw , is @shortsegments and you the same guy?
@shortsegments is my dad.
cool ^^
I have not seen this before but its look interesting.

Yeah man, sumo is brutal. It is dirty, corrupt, and very very brutal. So brutal that most Japanese refuse to even get into the sport these days. It is dominated by Mongolians who come over. There is some scandal in the papers at least once every few months about a stable (the sumo groups are called stables) owner beating one of his wrestlers to death or making him do so much work it kills him. Fun to watch because they are quite skilled at the top level. For wrestlers at the top that fat gut is layered with muscle. Those guys are incredibly strong. And they are skilled in all the judo type moves. So it is fun to watch, but it is so dirty one can understand why most Japanese refuse to get into the sport these days.
I'll have to watch that series. Thanks for the suggestion!
Wow, thanks for giving me a greater picture. Looks like the movie was on spot!
Looks pretty good. You gotta give the series Beef a shit it’s pretty good also.
