England Has Fallen
True to form I find myself thinking about the state of the country through a rather melodramatic lense (hence the movie inspired title). In my mind I see a country ripped apart by politice and social confusion over what is best for the country; the old fear the young for the violence they create, while the young hate the old for draining the countries economic resources and helping to destroy the environment. The rich get richer by ensuring politicians remain in power and protect their assets, while the poor are left to rot in the streets, while the rest are told to solve the problem themselves. Then there is the never ending dispute over how people should live their lives: "be proud of who you are", but "don't be too gay, straight, white, black, old, young, sexually ambiguous, prudish..." and the list goes on. Although thats a very bleak and narrow view of the overal state of the country, it isn't incorrect.

'American Gods' | TV Show Review
Most TV shows I watch they are normally adaptations of books that I've read and enjoyed. 100 percent of the time, this is what inspires me to watch the countless TV shows and movie adaptations of Neil Gaiman's books. As an avid reader and lover of Gaiman's books, I'll always get very excited when it is announced another of his books is being adapted—which is what just happened, when American Gods was announced for Amazon Prime subscribers.

'I Am Mother' – Netflix Original Movie Review
Before I watched It… I stumbled across the trailer for this movie during one of my many deep dives into YouTube. From this brief glance into the movie, I was intrigued; it had all the elements of a movie that I would enjoy: it’s a sci-fi movie, filled with all the good narrative points of a thriller, and didn’t look like anything I had watched before.

'Orange Is the New Black'
When it comes to original TV shows, Netflix is one of the pros at producing them. One of its more popular series is Orange is the New Black. The show initially revolved around Piper Chapman, who is sentenced to 15 months in Litchfield Penitentiary, a women’s federal prison. As the series progresses, we still follow Piper’s story, but we also get a look into the other inmates' lives.

Lizzo | 'Cuz I Love You' | Album Review
Lizzo, born Melissa Viviane Jefferson in Detroit (Michigan), is a 31 year old singer and rapper. In April 2019 she released her third studio album Cuz I Love You, her first major studio label released with Atlantic Records. Now I started to take notice of this album when the first single, "Juice," was announced as Annie Mac’s ‘Hottest Record in the World’ for Monday 7th January 2019. At first I wasn’t sure what to think about this song, but it definitely paved the way to finding more of her songs and developing a quick love for this extremely talented artist.
