Welcome to Pokemon Resort, where you and your adorable pocket monster can indulge in such amenities as the spa, zip-lining and extreme yoga. If that sounds like paradise, then you¡¯re probably in the target demographic for ¡°Pokemon Concierge,¡± Netflix¡¯s unassuming yet refreshing new stop-motion series.
At just four episodes, none of them longer than 20 minutes, ¡°Pokemon Concierge¡± may seem like nothing more than a shallow TV confection targeted toward tots. But the series¡¯ instant popularity indicates otherwise. ¡°Pokemon Concierge¡± is a lovable diversion, but for an older crowd; it¡¯s not quite a confection, but more like comfort food for the modern, anxious millennial.
The show follows Haru, a young woman in need of a change after facing job problems, a breakup and a string of bad luck. She comes up with a practical solution: get on a boat and travel to an island resort to become a concierge to cute lil¡¯ magical battle-pets.
