Lewis when I was nine years old, it has since been fueled by a variety of television shows and movies. If, like me, you're obsessed with the idea of other worlds and sub-human species, then join me in this have-to-watch listing.

Up Next for Review
I watch Gilmore Girls with my daughter the whole time she was growing up. It was a heartwarming, clean cut, all American, family drama with a touch of humor. The show was about how Lorelai Gilmore got pregnant at 16 and a year after the baby was born took her daughter and left home. They moved to Stars Hollow, Connecticut were she started out working as a maid for the Independence Inn and moved up to the executive manager. The first season focused on her daughter Rory getting into Chilton a very fancy and expensive private school. To get the money Lorelai had to make a deal with her mother for the money to pay the tuition Friday night meals with both her and Rory. Lorelai comes from a very well off family and she ran from the money and her parents both. It also focused on Rory and how the rich kids treated her because although her grandparents had money she did not and was there for not raise by their standers. Also the show focused on Lorelai and her love life or lack there of. There were many town folk who leaned a hand to the shows story and they all entertained us. By the end of the seventh season Rory has graduated from Yale and is starting a new job. Lorelai owns her own hotel but still has not found love but seems to be happy. People have loved this show so much that there was a made for TV movie call Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. Now people want another one.

What is Avatar: The Last Airbender Really Based On?
The Difference in Identity and Geography in the Avatar Universe Growing up, in an American household within an American neighborhood (one that was also overwhelmingly white), I wasn’t really exposed to the intricacies and specifications of identity and race within media. It wasn’t something I often thought about, but it also meant that going into everything I watched, I would imagine them as if they were white. It wasn’t like an eight-year-old to go into too much depth with the shows he watched anyways, so it meant there wasn’t a lot of researching going on to dupe what I had begun to think. It also meant that no one else I had known as an eight-year-old really thought much about it either. We all kept our relation and view on the show quiet in all matters except enjoying it as it was. It was an unbiased view, but it still faltered on its own; as I wasn’t as educated enough as I am now to understand that not everyone I see in animated media is a white person.

Life after The Office
Is a life without The Office really a life at all? When NBC took it's crown jewel off of Netflix it kind of felt like they had stolen something near and dear from me, and if I wanted it back, there was a 4.99/month ransom to be paid. We made the difficult decision, as a family, to carry on without our favorite show.

Wandavision: 30 Greatest Scenes of the show so far
The recent addition to the Marvel Universe dropped earlier this year on Disney+ with it's first two episodes, immediately revealing itself to be one of the MCU's boldest and most unique instalments. In Friday's episode (26th Feb) titled 'Previously On...' the series delved into the chaotic Wanda Maximoff's (Elizabeth Olsen) past to discover what led to the creation of the suburban Westview viewers have come to know. With one episode still yet to be released this coming Friday (5th March), viewers are anxious to see how the 9-part series will wrap up the show and it's many yet unanswered questions.

Trolls Go After 'Drag Race UK' Contestant Sister Sister, Fellow Queens Call For An End To Abuse
I've become a huge fan of #RuPaulsDragRaceUK since I started watching Season 2 in January 2021. While I appreciate some queens' drag aesthetic more than others, I have definitely gained respect for what these UK queens have done through what has likely been one of the most difficult times of their lives - living with the COVID-19 pandemic. I am not a creative person in the way these queens are, and to see them just putting everything they can into every challenge and try to elevate what they're doing each week while still adhering to safety protocols and so forth has just continued to impress me.

Russian Doll
When you’re watching a show that you’re really into, there’s a certain magic to it. You know every character. You're attached. You look forward to the next time you get to sit down and sink into this alternate reality. You’re not in the story, but you could be. If you’re like me, you love shows that are considered realistic fiction. The ones that really hook me are some usually made up of mostly real life experiences, a bit of mystery, some amount of love story (of course), a touch of darkness, and a lot of whimsy. Whimsy, a noun that means playfully quaint or fanciful behavior or humor. Alternatively, a thing that is fanciful or odd. I think this is because I live a relatively “normal” life, but it’s fun to watch a show that explores and pushes the boundaries of my reality just a bit.
