Best of Netflix
Whether you're binge watching or Netflix and Chilling, hats off to the digital streaming behemoth that never ceases to entertain.
'Fuller House' and the Nostalgia Factor
I grew up watching Full House late at night on Nickelodeon. I would sit in front of the television with my parents, and my mom would croon over Uncle Jesse while my dad worked on his computer. I would wish I lived in San Francisco in the 80s and 90s and I would be jealous of how large and close-knit their family was. Despite the cheesy music that played during the shows cyclic emotional moments, I would continue watching. The show in itself was a huge part of my childhood.

Binge-Worthy History Shows on Netflix
History shows have never been hotter than they are now — and we're not just talking about historical fiction or historical romance shows, either. These days, people are starting to look to the past to learn more about their roots and the truth about human nature.

Netflix's 'Big Mouth' Will Make You Uncomfortable, but It's Necessary
To say that Netflix’s new animated comedy series Big Mouth is not for everyone would be the understatement of the year. The ten-epsiode show, created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, and Jennifer Flackett, follows a group of 13-year-old suburban friends, Nick (Nick Kroll), Andrew (John Mulaney), Jessi (Jessi Klein), Jay (Jason Mantzoukas), and Missy (Jenny Slate), as they navigate the physical and social changes of puberty. The storylines place one foot in reality and the other in the young characters’ imaginations. Characters in this universe are “guided” through puberty by their own Hormone Monster (Nick Kroll) or Hormone Monstress (Maya Rudolph).

Ross Geller Is Problematic
At the beginning of 2015, one of the most watched television shows of all-time, Friends, gained a brand-new following — thanks, Netflix. With these new fans came think piece... after think piece... after think piece about a show that had ended over a decade prior. Think pieces are fine, I'm writing one right now; they encourage discussion and oftentimes present analysis and opinions one may not have previously thought about! Critically writing about shows and other forms of entertainment are things I encourage, especially when discussing forms of misogyny, homophobia, and racism in said entertainment. It's not cool, however, to read the same think piece again and again about how a character from a show that started in the early 90s and ended in the early 2000s is a problematic piece of garbage because they don't live up to your standards of people or something even though it truly was a different time.

Binge-Worthy Netflix Crime Shows
Crime shows are seriously one of the best genres in film. There's just so much action, explosions, fighting, blood, cursing, and everything else that gets your blood flowing with anticipation. These types of shows get you so hyped up, then they leave you with cliffhangers that have made nearly all of us cry in desperation until the next episode airs.

Ranking the Relative Evil of 'Pulp Fiction' Characters
Pulp Fiction isn’t necessarily strong on a central plot that ties the story together. It can almost be described as a movie about nothing — except with some serious degenerates. I prefer, a day in the life of a bunch of bad people, and after 23 years, I thought it’s time to rank the relative evil of these devilishly wonderful characters.
