Before I start my Spinning Out review, here’s a bit of background information. One of my all time favourite romance novels is From Lukov With Love by Mariana Zapata. It tells a story of Jasmine, an ice skater who is suddenly given an opportunity to skate competitively again. The catch, she has to partner up with her enemy, Ivan, and learn to skate in pairs. I love this book and going into Spinning Out I hoped this show would bring…
This year I’ve been super delighted to have stumbled on so many non-English shows. I watch them all in their original language so that means committing myself to subtitles. Home for Christmas was one of the best subtitle-commitments I made this year. This Norwegian show (available on Netflix) is funny, quirky and emotional. And most importantly, for me, Home for Christmas was very close culturally so I felt comforted and as if at home.…
Years and years ago I compiled an alphabet of my favourite movies, actors and directors. Every letter corresponded with something or someone I liked, loved, admired. Today I’m sitting down to do the same thing… but with television shows. This is an undertaking of the year for me and I’m quite excited. One of the reasons I wanted to do this is because TV shows have risen to great heights. They are complex, well made, demand a lot of our…
The summer of 2019 became a whole lot better when Stranger Things 3 aired and transported everyone back to the 80’s. The nostalgia, the adventure, the laughs, the terror and most importantly, the love. While season 3 might be following the familiar patterns of previous seasons, it still delivers one hell of an emotional rollercoaster. Here is my attempt to capture all of that into words.…
It’s finally time for my first Stranger Things related post this summer. First, before I get to my lengthy season 3 review, I’m bringing you my five favourite episodes from the show so far. So all three seasons are a fair game but I’m picking just five – so you can imagine how difficult this actually was! Like, I really had to crack my brain to narrow it down to five. But I did it and here is a chronological…
I’m not exactly the right person to review The Society because I watched only 80% of the show. Yet I figure it’s enough to tell my opinion about this dystopian-like teen drama that Netflix made. One thing’s for sure, the lukewarm hype around it baffles me to my core. This show is definitely not worth it, even with the tiny amount of diversity it embodies.…
There are some shows you watch just for the fun of it. Shows that you put on and leave on just because it has a some what nice view going on. It’s like background noise, which you can’t focus on too much. Otherwise all its flaws will surface and you’ll be annoyed with it. Tidelands is one of those shows.…
The first UK original Netflix show Sex Education premiered two weeks ago and I binge watched it in one sitting. It was fun, funny, emotional and an amazing commentary on society, sex and acceptance. I’m already calling it my favourite of 2019 because I don’t think anything else is going to be as entertaining and heartwarming as Sex Education.…
Who would have guessed a Youtube Original series would have such a huge impact on me that I wanted to review it. And not in a bad way either, even though I love those hate rambles, because Origin is really really good! I’m not even saying this in a way that it’s good for a Youtube show. It’s good enough to stand next to Netflix really, at least in my opinion.…
It’s been ages since I last reviewed a TV show, but it’s now time to tackle the second season of Ozark. Going in with high expectations felt inevitable, since I adored the first season so much. Find out if the pressure of expectations got the better of season 2, and whether the Byrde family is close to getting out of trouble.…
