Welcome to Storybrooke
If 2020 has taught me anything, it’s the value of escapism. And now with the breadth of streaming platforms available, there’s endless content and more every day. As a 90s kid, I grew during the Disney animation renaissance. VHS tapes stocked the cabinet and played on repeat, probably annoying my parents. I had toys and stuffed animals of the characters. (I even have a Simba tattoo on my foot!) In school, I threw myself into fantasy and fairy tale books. So, when ABC announced a new TV series in 2011 that revolved around the Disney vault of characters, I was all in. And like any guilty pleasure, I find myself returning time and again to Once Upon a Time and it's magical 7 seasons.

Why Wandavision Is Paying Off?
Welcome to the tie-in episode of Wandavision and this is the one we've been waiting for since that confusing first entry into the series. If you haven't been watching the series, let me warn you, or as the experts put it, post a spoiler alert. If you're a Marvel fan, for god sakes people, get Disney Plus or keep reading.

When History is Crazier than Science Fiction
Nothing like being dragged to your husband's work party where you are meant to mingle with all the other spouses while the employees congregate together and discuss all that work crap that they claim they hate talking about.

Scandalous Fun
The week Donald Trump was elected president, I started my first binge watch of the Shonda Rhimes show Scandal. I’d watched most of it before, though not as a binge - I sort of kept up with it as it was released, occasionally missing episodes and having to catch up or falling behind for entire seasons. But in the winter of 2016, when things felt chaotic and bleak, I absolutely tore through it.

Hindsight Is 20-20
In the first and most famous scene of HBO’s show The Newsroom, the protagonist is asked a softball question during a panel discussion at a college. Will McAvoy, a celebrity evening news anchor, is supposed to explain “why America is the greatest country in the world.” He first tries to dodge the question, but when the panel moderator refuses to accept his flippant non-answer, he launches into a monologue inspired by a sign he sees someone in the crowd holding up.

The Crown - my guilty pleasure
I love watching historical dramas and I guess it ties in with my love of history in general. As a child I spent endless hours reading historical tales from around the world and imagined myself as a Spanish explorer, a famous Parisian artist in Montmartre, or an ancient tribal warrior princess leading her army of Visigoths to battle.

RIVERDALE IS THE BEST!
RIVERDALE is one of Netflix’s most watched shows and this is for a very good reason. It has suspenseful drama, cheeky high school antics and soppy romantic moments! RIVERDALE truly is the whole package. My favourite moments of RIVERDALE is when opposite sides join forces for a better cause, for example, when the south side serpents joined forces with the bulldogs after their long territorial battle to help further the investigation of the black hood or when everyone joined together to mourn beloved jughead when they believed he was dead. Another favourite part of RIVERDALE is the teen romances happening around town. Is Bughead endgame? or will it be Varchie? Or will it even be Barchie? Well all that is yet to be uncovered in a possible modern Romeo and Juliet fashion, what we do know for sure is that there is no limit to how many girls mr Archie andrews can actually fall for.

Merlin; Childhood Binge.
A very guilty pleasure of mine in terms of watching something binge-worthy, Merlin. Also known as The Adventures of Merlin in the USA, it's a family show about the early years of Merlin the wizard and his building friendship with Prince Arthur as they both stave off magical threats to the kingdom of Camelot, but the only problem is, magic is illegal and Merlin has to keep his magic secret otherwise he will be executed.

X-Men
In the mid-1990’s I was just a child in middle school who was still trying to define myself and figure out who I wanted to be. I liked playing basketball and football in the streets with my siblings and friends, and I was engrossed in video games at that time, probably a little bit too much. With all of that being said, my favorite activity at this time was to get home, sit in front of the television, and watch X-Men: The Animated Series (1992) after school. Every Monday through Friday it was the same thing: (1) Run home from the bus, (2) Throw my book bag on the floor, and (3) Get a snack and watch X-Men.

Come along with me...
Adventure Time is a cartoon featuring Finn the human and Jake the dog. Created by Pendleton Ward, the series started as a cartoon short that went viral. It is set in the Land of Ooo, a post-apocalyptic earth populated by monsters, princesses, and candy people. Finn and Jake set off on many adventures, but it isn’t all fun and games--usually, there are villains, dungeon crawls and important life lessons to be learned too. With ten seasons and 283 episodes, the series features many quirky characters, lore that deepens with every episode, and the occasional fart joke.
