F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Everyone is always asking me why I am still watching the Friends sitcom television series. Honestly, I am just hooked on the television show. As a person who deals with depression, I have a couple of go-to shows. When I want drama and something sexy I watch True Blood or Vampire diaries. When I want to watch some kind of culture show I watch Jane the Virgin. Lastly, when I am depressed and want a mood booster I watch friends. Even after watching the TV series over and over again I still cannot help to smile and laugh.

Diary of a Working Housewife (Part 9)
I must say this pandemic has us all looking for the next best series to get hooked on. With all gyms, parks, beaches, malls, and restaurants closed staying home without losing our minds has become a second job. We all need the distraction at a time like this and there is so much housework you can actually do before you go insane. I, myself have gone from one binge-watching to another and I can give you a few shows that will keep you glued to the TV and sending your kids to eat chocolate in their room just so they could leave you alone (not that I've done that).

The Power and Impact of TV Shows
For as long as I can remember, I've always been a film enthusiasts. With the advent of Netflix, I went from a passionate viewer to an aspiring filmmaker. Following religiously screenwriters, showrunners, producers and directors on social media, asking them questions and interacting with fellow users, I became obsessed by taking the cinematic route. The more I watched TV shows and witnessed the birth of cult-following series, the more I understood their strong convening power. But what I love the most about TV series is without hesitation the creative possibilities they offer, a thing movies can't quite achieve because of time constraints. Series allow authors to build believable worlds filled with rich lore and diversified intrigues and to develop characters in depth, characters viewers can truly relate to. That is where TV shows can have huge impacts on people. The empathy for fictional personalities are ''practically the God particle'' of the small screen. For that to be achieved, viewers have to understand the characters, but that needs to be organic. Taking the viewer by the hand by guiding him too much can have the opposite effect. In my humble opinion, the worst thing a series can do is be condescending with its viewers. Screenwriters and showrunners need to find the fine line between taking their audience for granted and intervene excessively. The key is trust. The best creators are the one who make the necessary information available so the viewer can make his own deductions and equations. Emotivity can't be forced.

The Raw portrayal of Fat-Phobia or Umbrella Academy in Prison: These Are the 3 Binge-Watchable Shows You Totally Missed Out On
The golden era of Beverly Hills 90210, Friends, and Step by Step has left the chat. We are subjected to shows that make zero sense (I am looking at you, Riverdale) or leave us with little to no artistic impression. In this age of consumerism and extreme competition, networks and streaming services are spitting out TV shows faster than you can say “The Vampire Diaries was a pretty big mess towards the final season, too.”

ICYMI Challenge(2)
Five Points Five Points follows five students at a South Side, Chicago high school who experience a life-changing event from different points of view, with each perspective being necessary to help understand the truth. This is a great show, you can see why each character does what they do. Even the "bad ones" You feel for them. Each story is told really well and each actor played out their role amazingly. This intense teen drama tells a good story while highlighting some of the major pressures high school students face on a day-to-day basis. It points to some difficult problems teens deal with, including prescription drug dealing, gun violence, homelessness, and the need to overachieve, but presents them in ways that highlight the complicated reasons why certain decisions are made, and why these problems aren't easily resolved. I would highly recommend five points to any teenager because this show can be easily relatable for that age range and I just like how it’s a show about social awareness. This show is a web series and can only be watched on Facebook Watch.

Cartoons: A way to salvation
We are in a trivial time. There, I said it! We are in a time where some of us are surprised with the level of intolerance, fear and apathy that have quietly rampaged around us others are not so surprised. (Black people know but the rest of the populations of America and the globe didn’t. Who knew?) I don’t bring these very obvious points of understanding up to ruin your day, time or riddle your mind with discomfort. Nor did I bring those points up to preach to you and anyone else under the cybersky who just so happens to surf on by and find me standing on a soapbox. No, I bring this to your attention to reiterate that some things haven’t changed. (As if you didn’t know already) and I offer a very passive way to a solution: Cartoons. Hear me out on this: Cartoons have been the birthplace of fun and laughter for generations. The innocent voices behind cartoons set back the forces of division one way whenever we caught them on Saturday mornings and when times and understandings underwent a change Cartoons changed with them. Disney, for instance, underwent drastic changes to offer love, warmth and fuzzy heart side effects when you watch shorts like Bao or TV shows like That’s so Raven and The proud family. Disney brought those shows into to our homes to remind us all of the diversity that exists amongst us locally and globally. Cartoons always seem to have this way of diving deep underneath our defenses against things we just didn’t quite understand and we needed that canopy of infantile whimsy to take us outside of our fear and into happiness that just lasts for years. Somehow , in more ways than none, we’ve forgotten that joy feels like, coming into adulthood made us leave those memories behind or force us to pass cartoons off as just child’s entertainment that you outgrew overall. Unless of course you stumble on the Cartoon channel but who does that anymore? Am I right? I know I stopped doing that a long time ago.(Except when The Incredibles 2 came out, I know I shoved somebody’s kid out of the way to be first in line when that came out at the box office.) What all I’m trying to say is this: What if cartoons are the way to the most gentle, harmless re-education that we could all use?
