Sexiest Shows on Netflix
Let's be real, the best television shows generally feature a good bit of sex. One of the most popular shows in the history of the world, Game of Thrones, features so much sex it frequently casts porn stars. They aren't alone, most of the shows on premium channels — Netflix included — are sex heavy.

Most Heartbreaking Cartoon Moments in TV
Cartoons are usually a great way to blow off steam and have a few laughs, but sometimes, the better ones can make you think, and if they're really good, even make you cry. Often, these moments become so moving because they are completely surprising. These heartbreaking cartoon moments in TV sneak up and overwhelm us like never before.

Continuity Errors in 'Pretty Little Liars' (Spoilers)
Okay, this is my third story about this show. That may be because I'm re-watching the show for the gazillionth time. Don't worry. Despite all of my criticisms, I do love it. If you don't care to listen to my summary, go ahead and skip to the end for my personal recommendations for a better screenplay.

Binge-Worthy History Shows on Netflix
History shows have never been hotter than they are now — and we're not just talking about historical fiction or historical romance shows, either. These days, people are starting to look to the past to learn more about their roots and the truth about human nature.

Netflix's 'Big Mouth' Will Make You Uncomfortable, but It's Necessary
To say that Netflix’s new animated comedy series Big Mouth is not for everyone would be the understatement of the year. The ten-epsiode show, created by Nick Kroll, Andrew Goldberg, and Jennifer Flackett, follows a group of 13-year-old suburban friends, Nick (Nick Kroll), Andrew (John Mulaney), Jessi (Jessi Klein), Jay (Jason Mantzoukas), and Missy (Jenny Slate), as they navigate the physical and social changes of puberty. The storylines place one foot in reality and the other in the young characters’ imaginations. Characters in this universe are “guided” through puberty by their own Hormone Monster (Nick Kroll) or Hormone Monstress (Maya Rudolph).

Autism Is Having a Moment on TV but Not Everyone In the Autistic Community Is Celebrating
With The Good Doctor, Atypical, and Young Sheldon recently introduced to the screen, you could say that autism is having a moment in pop culture. The protagonists of these three shows add to a sparse roster of explicitly autistic characters in mainstream film and television. However, not everyone in the autistic community is celebrating. Why is that, you ask? Well, all three of these characters fit an annoyingly familiar mold: young white guys who are straight as far as we know, come from middle class backgrounds, and fit a very specific set of strengths and struggles. Characters who fit this profile are not bad simply by the nature of these traits and real people like them certainly do exist. The problem with these characters is that they are incomplete representations of the autistic community. Autistic women, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, senior citizens, people with additional disabilities, and even people whose interests and abilities do not fit the rude math and science genius mold are left out of the narrative. This exclusion is frustrating at best and actively harmful at worst.

Victim Blaming in Pretty Little Liars (SPOILERS)
I've been re-watching the show, and something has been bugging me non-stop regarding the relationships between the girls and their parents. In the second episode, we see Melissa's 23-year-old fiance flirt with and ultimately kiss the 16-year-old Spencer. When Melissa sees this and dumps him, Spencer is treated horribly by her family. Despite her protests that it wasn't consensual, her parents take Melissa's side. It leaves a sour taste in the mouth of any viewer who notices this trend. A similar thing happens when it is revealed that Ian, 22, carried on a relationship with Spencer when she was 15. She hides this fact, but the police find out and question her. Her own parents blame her too. I'm personally bothered by the fact that the police didn't question Ian, nor did they arrest him. He may have said that it wasn't sexual, but they would have had no reason to believe him.

Why 'The Flash' Season 3 Wasn't as Bad as Everybody Makes It Out To Be
Let me get this started with saying, The Flash season 3 definitely wasn't my favorite season of The Flash. Yet, I'm also not part of the majority of The Flash fans that absolutely hate it. I think some of fans' biggest grievances are completely justified, and I think some of their grievances can be easily defended against. Those grievances are what I'm here to talk about.

Queer Representation in Pretty Little Liars (SPOILERS)
I could talk at length about this show and have done so with my close friends. This show touches on so many wonderful topics, and it's fun to dissect them all. My favorite thing to talk about is the LGBT+ representation.

Binge-Worthy Netflix Crime Shows
Crime shows are seriously one of the best genres in film. There's just so much action, explosions, fighting, blood, cursing, and everything else that gets your blood flowing with anticipation. These types of shows get you so hyped up, then they leave you with cliffhangers that have made nearly all of us cry in desperation until the next episode airs.
