'Killing Eve': Two Women. Two Sides of the Same Coin. Both Caught up in Something Much Bigger
A TV series, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, that approaches femininity in an entirely refreshing way that tantalises the tastebuds for more; if you just dare yourself to dive into episode 1 available on the BBC iPlayer. You'll be met with a mysterious woman sitting in an ice-cream parlour in Vienna; being stared at by a snotty little child across the way. From the very beginning you can tell this woman is different, as she attempts to smile at the child, being met with a dirty look. She already has established herself as not having the maternal gene; that a woman is just supposed to innately have. She charms the girl by mimicking the male shop attendant's reactions; only to throw her ice-cream all over her before leaving. This impulsive, childish, and carefree nature is alluring yet disturbing; when set in a woman that rebels against commonplace femininity and common gender associations. In fact, this killer often uses her femininity as a weapon against her prey; who don't even see her coming due to being labelled just another pretty woman in a crowd. In that crowd though hides the assassin, Villanelle (Jodie Comer, Star of the Show), who is a hired gun by a sinister organisation called "the twelve," that like our assassin, hides in the shadows waiting to strike against powerful and famous VIPS all over the world. Maybe she's tired of the cycle of death she delivers perfectly over and over, never getting tired of the sick and twisted pleasure she gets from watching her targets' last dying breath. However, Villanelle slowly comes to the realisation that she needs a new challenge.

'Knight and Day'—Review
So over the last few months, I have been on a real Tom Cruise kick. I have rewatched all the Mission Impossible films, Rain Man, War of the Worlds, Jerry Maguire, Vanilla Sky, and now Knight and Day. I remember watching the trailer for this film when it came out and it looked like a fun movie, but for some reason, it just slipped through the cracks until now. However, after watching it, I wasn't too upset that it took me this long to watch it because the one word I can use to describe this movie is "lazy".

'Daredevil' Season 3: Karen Page's Best Moments
After watching the third season of Daredevil, the one character that stood out to me the most was Karen Page. She has been fantastic in Daredevil, The Punisher, and The Defenders but I noticed that in this season there was a lot of focus on her, to the point that there was an episode named after her that told us about her past.

Skam: The Vulnerability and Rawness of Being A Teenager
Since its first season premiered in September 2015, the show Skam has gained a huge following from Norway, along with international fans around the world. It became so popular that other countries have come out with their own remakes of the show—Skam France, Skam Italia, Skam Austin, and Druck (German Skam), which came out this year and has since only increased the fan-base. Currently, there are three other remakes that have started—Skam Spain, Skam Netherlands/Dutch, and Skam Belgium.

Penn Badgley: Toeing The Line Between Cute and Creepy
TV surfing has gathered me some useless hours of reality television and random crime shows in the past, but rarely does it result in me watching a quality show. A couple of weeks ago, it did just that, however, when I clicked on YOU.
