Oh! That's a surprise! I guess they got better at making it look like America in the years since. Do they still cast actors from New Zealand, or are they shipping out American actors for the cast now?

That's super kind of you, thank you so much. As I say, I've never really been a big fan of Power Rangers because it doesn't occupy that nostalgia spot for me, but I remember there have been a few shows I have watched and enjoyed, usually whilst waiting for other programmes to come on, lol. The first of these, the one that really made an impact, was Lost Galaxy. I had watched some small amount of Gingaman previously—in fact, this was my first sentai series—but Galaxy seemed a lot more interesting to me. I ended up really liking the character of Karone and investing a lot in her, so it was sad for me when I went back and watched In Space and didn't really enjoy it (although maybe that was because I liked Megaranger too much). I also really liked Jungle Fury a lot more than I liked Gekiranger, and over Christmas, I watched that new Power Rangers movie from 2017, and I really liked the characters in that.

I guess I really like shows that feature characters who have doubts? Not overly angsty stuff, but I really like it when characters are conflicted about what is the right thing to do.

Gosh, that sounds like a really hard sell. I can't even begin to imagine how that works! *looks at wiki* wait, how are all these shows two seasons? Do they really film that amount of extra footage?
