Allow us to have an excited fit because a lot of things are being announced today for Netflix.
One thing that hits close to home will be the upcoming anime show Trese—based on a graphic novel written by Filipinos Budjette Tan and Kajo Baldisimo.
As if Pinoy pride is not already oozing, the protagonist is a woman. “Alexandra Trese finds herself going head to head with a criminal underworld comprised of malevolent supernatural beings.” Okay, she’s like 10x more badass for being a crime fighter too!
