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 →
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: “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 →
‘Girlboss’ – It’s a nope from me
The Pits of Forgetfulness from Netflix is where this series will end up, I'll say... Friday the 21st Netflix launched 'Girlboss', a loose retelling (real loose, the pilot episode says) of the story of Sophia Amoruso, the founder of Nasty Gal. The 13-episode series will follow Sophia on her rise to internet domination with her... Continue Reading →
