Our story centers around a scissor-wielding, shapeshifting, hairdresser/assassin who is ready to kill any man, woman, or child for mere 88 bucks. Except he never does that. Vast majority of the stories are humor filled life lessons where, instead of doing his job, he ends up quite literally doing the opposite of killing. During his sneek-peeks into his victim's life, he learns about his victims, makes his own conclusions, accept these victims as who they are, and instead of ending their lifes, he ends up making a difference in their life. Be it a pair of lovers separated, family being torn apart or even suicidal person planning to end her own life; our main chacters unites, fixes, and heals. And he does that by simply being a reasonable, good person.
The series is entirely humble, it shows massive respect towards human life and greatly values the awesomeness of its characters, but in the same time, there is a complete absence of flamboyance in the narrative. The series is almost slice of life with its execution as the only party who gets to actually realize how great of a person our main character is is esclusively the audience. The outcome is pure awe. This series doesn't spoonfeed anything as it very clearly and entirely trust in the audience, showing mad confidence in its own content. I have nothing but respect to give in return.
Enjoyment-wise, I watched Scissor Seven in a good time because it was exactly something I needed to cheer me up after a shitty day, and when combining this with how good the show actually is (I already rewatched the entire thing to ensure I wasn't just hyping it for no reason), I can only say that my personal experience with this show was nothing less than blissful. It is heart-warming, fun, and so kind that it still feels weird to have discovered a true gem by simply browsing Netflix for 2 minutes. I highly advice to give this series a try, because it might just as well bring some life into your day and cleanse away your worries.
**To briefly give my 2 cents about the sequels: The 4 extra episodes are loyal to S01 and very well worth a watch. S02 is vastly different from the previous season and overall it may be a sequel but it surely isn't a spiritual sequel.
