Good Omens
Okay so I love Neil Gaimen and Terry Prachet but as the slacker I am I have not seen nor read Good Omens. So in preparation for SDCC and the coming of the second season of the show I decided I should probably catch up. As a huge fan of David Tennant I knew that I was going to enjoy the show but when I say that the show exceeded all expectations, I mean it.

Black Mirror's 'Beyond The Sea' Fails to Deconstruct Toxic Masculinity
The episode Beyond The Sea is probably one of the most disappointing ones in the entire sixth season of Black Mirror. Set in an alternate 1969, it's a story about two astronauts that have the ability to transfer their consciousnesses back down to Earth on their mission's downtime into artificial robots called replicas. This technological feat allows them to maintain their lives back home in a kind of inverse work-from-home situation.

Reviewing VC Andrews' Dawn (Part 1: "Dawn")
So this year, Lifetime is returning to the VC Andrews pool with their adaptation of the legendary author's Dawn series. As we all know, Andrews' most known work was, of course, Flowers in the Attic, and we've seen Lifetime air not only that adaptation, but the prequel series as well. I'm somewhat familiar with Andrews' work, though I've never read the books. I have watched the films, though, especially the Ruby series, which I absolutely loved!

Decoding "The Idol": A Provocative Tale of Power and Intrigue
HBO's run of its captivating series, "The Idol," has just completed. However, the show faced intense criticism, with the media treating it as if it were something out of the 16th century witch trials. Yet, upon delving into the myriad of articles, one thing becomes apparent: many critics simply failed to grasp its essence. Some even claimed to explain the show while overlooking crucial details, leaving readers with more questions than answers. Perhaps, one wonders if these authors truly understand the intricacies of human experiences or have enough depth in their own lives to comprehend it fully.
