To Watch or Not To Watch
I’m always wondering what to look at next. Whilst I enjoy watching movies, I’m more of a TV series person. Remote schooling, general housework, cooking dinner and writing means I have enough energy to watch a 25 to 43min television show otherwise the episode becomes part of my dreams. I see myself as a hummingbird when it comes to watching a program. I’ll happily flit from one show to another, discovering new characters or revisiting old ones. I won’t necessarily watch one because it’s popular – you know Game of Thrones or Bridgerton - in fact I tend to shy away from them until the hype dies down. Not one for always conforming I guess.

If you like What We Do in the Shadows, then you'll love...
Jermaine Clement’s ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ should not work: it's a mockumentary about the domestic challenges of being a modern day vampire. The characters spend their time hunting for virgins, negotiating with local necromancers, holding occultist seances and avoiding deadly sunlight. It doesn't scream 'multi-Emmy nominated success'. In fact, it's hard to work out who the target audience is... Count von Count?

Step By Step Cast today: Christopher Castile
If you are a fan of old school television you have probably been watching reruns of the programs you used to enjoy. Retro, Decades, MeTV and Heroes networks run classic television shows 24/7. You can also see your favorites from years gone by on Netflix and Hulu. If you were a fan of the Friday night 90s lineup on ABC you probably enjoyed Step By Step. and the little boy with the big frame glasses named Mark. This blended family with 6 children was the 1990s version of the Brady Bunch and a popular sitcom.

The Dirty Word: Anime
A Brief History and Introduction to the word Anime Many of us grew up on Disney. Whether you were born in the 1940s, the 1990s, or after the turn of the millennium: chances are you were shown films such as Dumbo, Bambi, Lady and the Tramp, or any from the myriad Disney animations available. By now, you may have shown them to your children or even your grandchildren. Indeed, some of these films are so timeless that I’m sure many would be surprised to learn that Bambi, for example, was first released in 1942, yet it is still just as poignant today as it was then. We still show these films to our children, we still talk about them with our friends, we remember watching them and I daresay we’ve all heard someone lament something along the lines of “cartoons aren’t as good as they used to be” with a wistful look on their face. Now, Disney wasn’t the only company raising us on animated films. We also had wonderfully high-quality animations released by DreamWorks: The Prince of Egypt, The Road to El Dorado, Spirit. The point is that animation has been a significant part of many young people’s upbringing - and I do apologise if I’ve neglected to mention your childhood favourite so far.

If you loved Supernatural, Then you will love The Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies
You're probably thinking Supernatural is completely different than The Vampire Diaries! One is about two brothers who fight monsters! The other is about two brothers who are monsters(vampires)! But wait here me out. Although that necessarily is true, it is only what you see on the surface. The show has so much more to it.

What should I watch if I loved Mad Men?
"Do you have any idea what it's like to work close to the metal?" To be "close to the metal" is to work intimately with a machine. A coder creates code, she slaves for days in a dark basement, hunched over the keyboard, eyes blurring from the strain of the green light on the screen. Black Flag and Kate Bush blare on her speakers. She sweats, she has not showered in days, she's angry and focused. She is approaching innovation's horizon. The computer. A hulking mass of mid-80s innovation. Business shall be more efficient! Households shall become more entertaining!
