The article is new enough, long enough, referenced and neutral. Earwig picked up the quote from Entertainment Weekly placed in the quotebox but it's fine. The hooks are sourced and interesting, and I like ALT0 more. Just waiting for QPQ. Corachow (talk) 18:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Corachow: Thank you for the review. I have done QPQ as indicated. HĐ (talk) 03:51, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
