I'm usually very wary of being negative, but this just had too many crosses of proper nouns and/or non-english words to be enjoyable for me. One of the joys of crosswords for me is that, with patience, they can be figured out based on having an understanding of how the language works, having a good knowledge of synonyms etc, but none of that works with proper nouns or words in a different language where it's just about whether you know the trivia or not, and if the you don't know it, and there's a cross that's also not a word, then you're stuffed, with no way to move forward.

Did it without looking anything up!

This was a p e r f e c t puzzle for me! The clever bits made me laugh and the tricky bits were clever, not impossible - and made me laugh when I finally figured them out. Thank you! I look forward to plenty more from this creater.
