Fantastic satire. Gripping cliffhangers to end seasons. Incredible performances (especially McFadyen and Braun). And one of those shows that manages to have an ending that feels both believable and satisfying. Best TV show ever? Nah, not quite Mad Men or The Sopranos. But then I thought Breaking Bad was overrated.

The Best UK Supermarket Pizzas
Let’s be honest, pizza is one of the most common favourite foods. Yet there is so much variety within it. Not just toppings, sizes, bases, meat or veggie, etc., but quality, country of origin and all sorts of extremely important factors. I’ve always loved pizza, and as a kid this would usually mean one of two things – a birthday tea at the local “Italian” restaurant (you know the type of restaurant I mean, where the ham and pineapple is never called “Hawaiian” but instead named after the restaurant), or a slice of shop pizza as part of a buffet, or where one pizza is shared between the whole family, but this is apparently acceptable because there is an accompaniment of salad. I tried to reason with my mam many times that at the restaurant I would have a whole pizza to myself and an accompaniment of curly fries but to no avail. As an adult, I now know and of course respect the pain she must have been going through and I don’t even have any kids yet. Anyhow, the shop-bought pizza was always disappointing anyway.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Mistakes in Stranger Things - Season 5
Stranger Things 5: A Train Wreck of Lazy Writing and Brand Blunders When Stranger Things first dropped in 2016, it was a masterpiece of atmosphere and tight storytelling. It felt like a love letter to the 80s. Fast forward to Season 5, and that love letter has been shredded. What we got instead was a bloated, nonsensical mess that felt like the creators were just checking boxes to get it over with. It wasn't just a disappointment; it was a total collapse of the logic and stakes that made us care about Hawkins in the first place.
