Why 'The Good Doctor' Advocates for More Than Mental Health
Many have seen, if not heard of, ABC's new show The Good Doctor, which shares a story about Dr. Shaun Murphy and his journey as a doctor and individual. Dr. Murphy is unique in his own right, having been diagnosed with both Autism—rather, the higher functioning version of Aspergers—and Savant syndrome. Personally, I believe, especially in today's world, that mental health is often spared from many conversations; yet when we stop to reflect, we realize how important our mental health is in order to live a better life. This is definitely a show to help us as a society to get there. The show brings to light common aspects that are often overlooked, such as prejudices, mental health, and themes like honesty, determination to beat criticism, and real-life situations among many others with a bit of comic relief to pacify the mood.

'Star Trek' With Swearing
First thing I have to say: “Charlie Brooker, you let us down! Where was our 2017 wipe?" To get why “USS Callister” was so good (and why Black Mirror goes further to the edge than any TV show in recent years) you have to understand who Charlie Brooker is. He’s not a writer, nor is he a comedian. He’s a commentator. He reviews TV programmes. He makes rude and well observed comments about our world. He has a turn of phrase which swings between cringe-worthy violence and the surreal. For example:

Why I Love 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'
When I look back at the anime that I fell in love with—his was back in the summer of 2015—I always thank my younger self for getting into Yu-Gi-Oh!, this amazing, inspiring anime that I will never forget and let go. I've learned so much from this anime like friendship, Egyptian history, the card game (duel monsters), and it even makes my day smile.

Characters Who Ruined Good TV Shows from Being Great Ones
Some TV shows are based around annoying characters, and this can work well if that is the intent, take Michael Scott from The Office as the perfect example. Michael is annoying and incredibly diluted but somehow it all works seamlessly, and at times he even comes off as endearing.

Popular TV Shows with Terrible Final Seasons
When you think about the best TV series of all-time, they usually saved some of the best moments for the series finale and the final season. Shows like Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, and The Wire are fondly remembered for their incredible final seasons that ended the show perfectly. On the other hand, there are great shows that had dumpster fire endings. Fans of shows like Lost and How I Met Your Mother are still bitter from the way those series ended. There are plenty of disappointing endings to choose from, but these are ten TV shows with terrible final seasons.

The Nonsensical 'Roseanne' Twist
Who is going to watch the new Trump-loving reboot of Roseanne? If I'm honest, the Trump-loving part lost me, but I may still give it a shot because why not? It's my job to keep up with pop culture, and the Will and Grace reboot also went heavy with the politics their first episode. There's another thing, though, that has me on the edge of my seat, story-wise. In the original finale, Dan is dead. He died. How in the world are they going to write around that?

Hey, Assbutt! a New Version of Michael Will Make a Triumphant Return in ‘Supernatural’ Season 13
Sam and Dean Winchester have pretty much faced every critter mankind has failed to understand. The members of Team Free Will (Dean, Sam, and Cass) all have been to hell and back, heaven, purgatory – and Dean has even been to the fairy realm. With the birth of the Nephilim Jack (Lucifer’s spawn), we can add post-apocalyptic Earth to the brothers’ roster of worlds they’ve visited.

From Monsters to Beings of Celestial Intent: Ranking ‘Supernatural’s Greatest Villains
Sam and Dean Winchester have pretty much fought every creature we regular humans can find in mythology, folklore, and various religious texts. They've gone from being called their father’s bitches in the show's early seasons to now become pretty much untouchable. However, sometimes they don’t seem to use their thinking caps, and the big bads can be found right under their noses!

5 Harem Anime That You'll Fall in Love With
With all the anime genres out there one of the best ones I have found that I always find to provide a good time are the harem anime. Not only are they usually pretty lighthearted and comedic, they also provide an exciting story to get you hooked. After binge-watching a couple of serious anime like Re:Zero and Elfen Lied, it's nice to be able to switch it up with a good ole' harem. Here are some of my top harem anime that keep me hooked on the genre.
