Netflix’s ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ is not for the faint of heart

October 8, 2025

When Netflix initially aired its first installment of its ‘Monster’ series, the monster in question was Jeffrey Dahmer. The second installment depicted the Menendez brothers as the monsters, and quite recently, the third installment premiered, with Ed Gein as the monster. If you’ve never watched the Monster series, allow me to fill you in; essentially, … More Netflix’s ‘Monster: The Ed Gein Story’ is not for the faint of heart

If you’re a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan, read this

September 16, 2025

I have not hidden my love for the television series Brooklyn Nine-Nine from anyone here who reads my blog somewhat regularly, and for good reason; it is arguably one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I have lost count of how many times I have rewatched it.

Looking for something new to watch? Consider Marco Polo

“Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb”: An enthralling watch

March 20, 2025

If I could time travel and had the opportunity to visit and tell my teenage self that I would develop an appreciation for history in the near future, I think I would have popped myself square in the teeth, without hesitation. When I was younger, I positively despised anything historical (that’s a bold assertion, but … More “Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb”: An enthralling watch

Is Netflix’s Roman Empire worth watching?

February 19, 2025

If you asked me ten years ago to watch a historical documentary about the Roman Empire, I arguably would have told you to go and pound salt.

Have you seen ‘Cunk on Earth’?

January 4, 2025

Periodically, via my social media feeds, clips of a woman discussing famous historical events in the most dead pan humour approach possible appear, and I always pause to watch them.

Looking for a mind-blowing documentary? Read this

December 30, 2024

‘Aaron Rodgers: Enigma:’ view or vanquish?

December 21, 2024

My husband and I thoroughly enjoy watching documentaries of just about any genre, but our favourites are arguably true crime and sports documentaries. We watched a solid handful of both types via Netflix, and a couple of days ago, I notified Blaine that a new sports documentary titled Aaron Rodgers: Enigma had been added. I wouldn’t say … More ‘Aaron Rodgers: Enigma:’ view or vanquish?

Have you seen ‘Cursed’?

November 22, 2024

As most of my consistent readers already know, I have a borderline obsession with any television series or film depicting a Medieval setting.

‘This is the Zodiac Speaking’: A chilling take on one of America’s most notorious serial killers

November 16, 2024

I’ve read on more than one occasion that people who are able to relax while watching true crime productions are more than likely not terribly well mentally.

Have you seen ‘The Deliverance’?

October 16, 2024

A few nights ago, I came to the sudden realization that spooky season is officially underway and I hadn’t yet watched a horror movie.

I had heard a thing or two … More Have you seen ‘The Deliverance’?

Haven you seen ‘The Staircase’?

September 13, 2024

Without creating or causing any unnecessary concern, I think it would be appropriate on my own behalf to acknowledge that I have dedicated a solid amount of writing material toward true crime shows as of late.

What are you watching?

September 1, 2024

Television and/or film are components of entertainment that I would wager most of us make use of.

Why can’t we leave well enough alone?

August 28, 2024

Since I’ve cooked my head to a rather extensive degree, I’ve found myself with some additional free time because I’m not able to work just yet.

‘The Murder of Laci Peterson’: a chilling Netflix documentary

August 22, 2024

Have you seen ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’?

Have you seen ‘Instant Family’?

July 16, 2024

It seems as though evenings in which Blaine and I are able to watch a movie together without him falling asleep are becoming more and more distant as of late.

June 17, 2024

I wrote a post a little while ago detailing my honest thoughts about the widely popular Netflix television series known as Bridgerton.

Have you seen ‘Unlocked: A Jail Experiment’?

May 9, 2024

This small change could make a big difference in your sleep

April 9, 2024

Sleep is something that is absolutely relevant to all of us as human beings, as we are more than likely aware, yet it seems to be something that more of us than not have trouble with.

Morbius: hit or miss?

March 9, 2024

I wouldn’t consider myself a tremendous fan of Marvel and superhero movies, but I do like to dabble in them here and there.

Are you a fan of ‘Superstore’?

March 1, 2024

I am loyal to a handful of comedy television series that actually have the ability to make me laugh aloud.

‘Love is Blind’: an interesting approach to love

February 23, 2024

I am entirely aware of how delayed I am in getting around to watching an episode from a commonly known television series titled Love is Blind, thus there is no need to remind me.

Netflix’s American Nightmare: victim blaming at its finest

January 27, 2024

When I studied at university, I majored in English, which most of you already know, and I minored in women and gender studies.

Victim blaming is … More Netflix’s American Nightmare: victim blaming at its finest

Have you seen ‘Devotion’?

January 13, 2024

War movies are a genre of film that I absolutely admire and appreciate, but tend to avoid for the most part. My reasoning for avoiding them is understandable, in a sense; oftentimes, war movies are incredibly sad as they depict the harsh realities of battle and what soldiers experience. That isn’t to say that we … More Have you seen ‘Devotion’?
