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. I consider it my comfort … More If you’re a Brooklyn Nine-Nine fan, read this
Witty, strange and demented humour has always been a tremendous passion of mine. I get my sense of humour from my father, undoubtedly, and I am grateful to have been bestowed this blessing. The nuttier, the better, in my opinion. I’ve been wanting to find a new television series to watch because I’ve rewatched the … More Here’s why “What We Do in the Shadows” should be your next watch
If you’re like me and tend to watch and rewatch the same shows and series repeatedly, you can arguably relate to the frustration that occurs when you realize you probably could go for something new to watch, yet have absolutely no clue where to begin. I am obsessed with anything related to Vikings, Medieval times, … More Looking for something new to watch? Consider Marco Polo
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. When I was younger, I was not, in any manner whatsoever, interested in history; I found it boring beyond comprehension, and I never really found it terribly engaging. … More Is Netflix’s Roman Empire worth watching?
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. I never quite knew exactly what the original source of these clips is, up until a recent discovery which has granted me with tremendous happiness. … More Have you seen ‘Cunk on Earth’?
I am a sucker for a good documentary. I never really used to enjoy them when I was younger as I oftentimes found them rather boring, but now that I’ve matured a wee bit and have learned to appreciate history more than I once did, I now prefer watching documentaries over most other shows, with … More Looking for a mind-blowing documentary?

Unsolved Mysteries is not, by any means, a new series. From what I could find online, the American series first debuted in 1897 and ran until 2010, and it was picked up again in 2020 with new episodes. The original creators of the show were John Cosgrove and Terry Dunn Meurer, and it originally starred … More Unsolved Mysteries: a must-watch
In the last post I wrote about Bridgerton, I admitted I wasn’t taken by this series nearly to the same extent everyone and their mother seems to be. Bridgerton is, apparently, the show right now, and it’s all I see anytime I check my social media channels. Granted, algorithms don’t help with this, but regardless, … More Bridgerton: final thoughts
I wrote a post a little while ago detailing my honest thoughts about the widely popular Netflix television series known as Bridgerton. I enjoyed elements of it, and while I don’t necessarily think the show lives up to the ridiculous hype it is receiving in the media, it is a decent watch. I’m halfway through … More Queen Charlotte: a helpful guide for watching Bridgerton
I sincerely apologize to any of my readers who don’t watch Stranger Things when I compose posts about the show. I was skeptical of its premise when it first started gaining popularity, and trust me when I say I resisted hopping on the bandwagon for quite an extended period of time. As you likely know … More Stranger Things – yet another update
There are a few simple things in live that bring me joy. Falling asleep to the sound of a thunderstorm, curling up with a good book and a cozy blanket, and having a warm bath on a cold winter evening, to give some examples. Oh, and ‘Vikings.’ That’s another one. When I say ‘Vikings,’ I’m … More A moment of appreciation for ‘Vikings’
I wrote a post a little while ago reviewing a new series I started watching via Netflix titled The Last Kingdom. When I wrote this post, I wasn’t too far into the show in terms of its seasons and the episodes within, but now that I have finished all of the released seasons (season five … More Is ‘The Last Kingdom’ better than ‘Game of Thrones’?
If you have Netflix, or pay any sort of attention to the successes of the television series and movie platform, you’ve likely heard, in some way, of a new series titled The Queen’s Gambit. Since it premiered via Netflix, the world has gone a little bit batshit because of it; chess sales, apparently, are up … More Have you seen ‘The Queen’s Gambit’?
I think it is apparent that I’ve been on a bit of a history kick as of late in terms of the shows I have been watching. I recently finished Barbarians, and because I really enjoyed it, I thought I would start watching The Last Kingdom via Netflix as it, too, is a historical series. … More Have you seen ‘The Last Kingdom’?
I find it somewhat paradoxical that while I never enjoyed studying history when I was in school, I’ve always been very interested in certain periods throughout history. I’ve made mention that I’m quite intrigued in medieval history, and I’m also quite fascinated by the Vikings. Netflix recently debuted its original series titled Barbarians, and you … More Have you seen Netflix’s ‘Barbarians’?
When I caught wind a little while ago of a second instalment in The Haunting of Hill House saga, you bet your behind I was excited. I really enjoyed Hill House and would honestly consider it the best horror television series I’ve seen thus far, so my expectations for Bly Manor were pretty high. I’ll … More Is ‘The Haunting of Bly Manor’ worth the watch?
Up until a few years ago, I wasn’t ever really into crime-based shows. They used to scare me when I was young, and because of my fear of them I distanced myself from anything crime-related for quite a while. When I was in university I started to develop an interest in them, though, and now, … More Have you seen Unsolved Mysteries?
