I have usually loved the Netflix Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jessica Jones and Daredevil are thrilling, Luke Cage worked really well and Iron Fist... well, we don't talk about Iron Fist. Jessica Jones most of all, as it was such a different and personal take on the "superhero" world, very all around well-crafted. Because of that,... Continue Reading →
Review: “Atypical” (Series)
You can always count on Netflix to produce a little gem of a show that might not air on regular TV. Atypical is one of these series. It follows the life of Sam Gardner (Keir Gilchrist), a teenager with autism that decides he wants to start dating girls, and his family: an overbearing mother (Jennifer... Continue Reading →
Sorry for the absence! – Filmmaking Course
Hi all! I am sorry for the ridiculously long absence everyone! As it happens, I was doing an intensive filmmaking course 🙂 Despite being from the international relations field, I have always aspired to work with filmmaking somehow. This year, it turned out that I had the time to finally do an intensive filmmaking course... Continue Reading →
Review: Wonder Woman (2017)
*Spoilers on plot points in the end! The DC Cinematic Universe has not been my favourite thing lately. It just seems to continuously  miss the mark for me, and just doesn't measure up to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, Wonder Woman changed the game on that. With this movie, DC stepped away from the forced hand... Continue Reading →
Review: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Series – Season 3)
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (UKS from now on) seems to be a love-it-or-meh sort of phenomenon. People either adore it (like myself) or they just think it's silly and not worth the watch. I mean sure, UKS is no Parks & Recreation, but it is just so unique! It is one of the most nonsensical American series... Continue Reading →
Review: “Crazyhead” (Series – Season 1)
I may be a bit late in reviewing this series, since it launched in late 2016. However, I did not hear much about it, apart from it being on Netflix, and after watching it I just had to give it some attention. It's not perfect or oh-so-original, but it was entertaining as hell and deserved... Continue Reading →
Review: “Sense8” (Series) – Season 2
This Friday the 5th, after two years of wait, humankind was finally graced with the second season of the Netflix worldly extravaganza, Sense8. As one does, I have binged on all ten episodes in a row because well, this is a series that is very hard to part with. Two years later (well, one and a... Continue Reading →
Review: “Chewing Gum” (Series)
I have recently binged on the two seasons of Chewing Gum currently available on Netflix, and I am smitten! It's a very short and sweet binge-worthy gem produced and filmed in the UK by E4 (the same that brought us Skins, Misfits, and The Inbetweeners). Chewing Gum is the brain child of Michaela Coel, who... Continue Reading →
Review: “Dear White People” (2017)
This new Netflix show is based off of the 2014 movie of the same name, and premiered on the streaming platform on April 28th. I am the whitest person I know, and I consider myself to have some sort of understanding of racism and the discussion around it. Superficial as my knowledge is, this show... Continue Reading →
