I Really Want to Like Netflix's New Series 'Disenchantment' But...
HUGE DISCLAIMER SPOILERS AHEAD (You've been warned) Netflix Original Series content as a whole is hit or miss when it comes to the overall enjoyment its viewers experience.

What 'Crazy Rich Asians' Meant to Me
Admittedly, I didn't think that watching Crazy Rich Asians would mean as much to me as it did. I grew up in a suburb of Seattle in a pretty well-off neighborhood where I rarely encountered racism. Many of my friends were Chinese-American or Asian-American and proud of it, which meant I grew up ignorant of how difficult it was to be Chinese in some parts of America. I always thought that racism was a problem only regularly encountered by other minorities.

'Veronica Mars' - An Untold Scene
"Veronica Mars, not your average high school student" - Me? I think. I avoided Veronica Mars for a while because I thought it was about some high school kid with super powers. BOY WAS I SO WRONG. To this day it is one of my favorite pilots ever. There's SO much exposition in there yet you don't feel lost in anything that's going on. The mysteries from little to big through out that first season are truly edge of your seat. While this is a high school show, this is no high school show.

'To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before' Review
I just watched To All The Boys I've Loved Before, and it is amazing! I haven't liked a romantic comedy movie since, oh god, I don't remember. I did see the book. I have never read it though. My teacher recommended it, but I never knew what it was about. She only explained a little bit of it, but I was like, "Nah, I'm good." I should have read it. I really do regret not reading all the books because all three were in her library.

Go and Watch 'The Meg'
This is spoiler-free. I wouldn't dare spoil something this good. If you're into creature feature movies, and you loved Jaws, then I highly recommend you go and see The Meg. It's like Jaws on steroids.

'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' - Spectrum File 1 Review
The second part of Big Finish's celebrations of 50 years of Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons are The Spectrum Files, three enhanced audiobooks of Captain Scarlet novels that were published in 1967. The first of these, simply titled Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, is a globe-trotting adventure with a Bond-esque touch, and features a very novel Mysteron plan. However, it also feels strangely distant from the show as seen on screen and it also feels rather poorly plotted and paced, meaning that it's near four-and-a-half-hour run time does drag considerably, despite the excellent production.
