My Review of "Ted Lasso: Season 1"
Ted Lasso is a sports TV series streaming exclusively on Apple's streaming network. My friend has been harassing me to watch this series for the longest time but the problem was that I didn't have Apple for the longest time. I've been wanting to watch this series for so long that I was worried that I hyped up the show too much before watching it. Maybe I'd be disappointed by the time I finally got to it. I'm happy to announce that it met all of my expectations.

Live Action Avatar the Last Airbender
I had a very short list of must haves for this first season. I gave this show so much leeway, and I tried very hard to be open minded about the inevitable changes that were going to be made to this show. I have complained a lot about said changes because they were all unnecessary and executed very poorly. But words can not express how happy I am that they kept the sexism of the Northern Water Tribe. It is so integral to Katara’s character development and so important to the story as a whole.

Live Action Avatar the Last Airbender
Again the bare minimum of this show has been fulfilled. The monster design looks really good but there is just no depth to the actual body of the show. All of the storylines are so hollow. I think they brought Sokka and Katara to the spirit world in an attempt at cheap character development because they have fucked it up until this point. But again it just comes across as an unearned moment. You wouldn’t need to change a bunch of shit to fill out these characters if you just did what you were supposed to do the first time. This shouldn’t be the first time we see any actual depth to these characters, it's episode 5, that is inexcusable.

What If
Okay with season 2 of What If now being released I thought I should actually get around to finishing season 1. I really only watched a few episodes that had the possibility of being tied to the multiverse of madness. But of course the filmmakers weren’t smart enough to spend their time on actual multidimensional exploration. So we are finishing it and ranking the episodes from worst to best.

What If
Now that What If is back on Disney+ we are going to be ranking the second season of the MCU show. We will be going from worst to best. With a show like this, where every episode is self-contained I’m not sure you can really call any of the episodes “bad”. As there is no growth or fitting into an existing narrative there is really only less good, or more compelling. That said, this particular ranking list is going to be almost entirely subjective, unlike others where I have tried to speak as technically as possible.

What If
Marvel’s series, What If has released its second season and we got more world exploration. As we see the multiverse build in the main MCU continuity, What If fills a void. The show allows the audience to see some of what goes on in other universes and timelines. Now as with any self isolated series some episodes are better than others. But it remains one of the MCU’s best shows.

Best of Buffy
Okay…Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my favorite show in the world. However it is not above criticism. My biggest problem with the show as a whole is season 5. Buffy season 5 is perhaps one of the worst things to happen to the show and quite frankly television as well. I will complain about this in further detail but the addition of Dawn and introduction of Glory were so wildly out of left field and inconsistent with the show as it had been established that it did nothing but bring out bad writing, weird and wrong character development and some terrible recovery after the fact. This season is not good and I almost always skip it but here we go.

Rakshak Chapter 2 Review: Something New
I guess, friends, it has happened for the first time that part 2 of something has come, but part 1 was a movie and part 2 is a web series. Yes, I am talking about the Rakshak show that has come on mini-TV. The first chapter of this content was a movie, but this time it has been introduced in the form of a web series. So how is this web series? Does it deserve your time? Let's find out.

My Review of "Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget"
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is a movie I never thought would ever come out. I was a fan of the first Chicken Run when it first came out in the year 2000. Who knew they'd come out with a sequel 23 years later. It was a good movie but even back then it wasn't that popular. That's why I was really curious as to how something like this could have come out so late in the game.

Burnt - A Movie Review
I want to make food that makes people stop eating. Burnt was prepared in the kitchen and released to theaters in 2015. Adam Jones is a hardworking chef. Due to the stress in his career, he destroyed his life with drugs. As he lingers back into the scene, Adam returns to London, determined to redeem himself and outwit his rival restaurant with the best food ever.

POOR THINGS: Rebirth Through the Deaths of Shame and Ego
"We must experience everything. Not just the good, but degradation, horror, sadness. This makes us whole, Bella, makes us people of substance. Not flighty, untouched children. Then we can know the world. And when we know the world, the world is ours."
