With just three days of 2023 to go, Netflix has launched a late contender for the best of 2023 lists: Pokémon Concierge, which launched yesterday on 28 December, is getting rave reviews. The only negative: with just four episodes of less than twenty minutes each, there isn't enough of it.
The series is a decidedly chill take on the global phenomenon: according to the blurb, "when Pokémon need a break, they head to a peaceful resort to relax, looked after by a team of Pokémon concierges". One of those concierges is newcomer Haru, who has to learn how to care for the likes of Pikachu, Eve, Magikarp and Dragonite.
