With the pending release of the second season of Netflix docuseries Making a Murderer trending on news platforms and social media alike, many fans of the original production — an expose-style accounting of the trial and conviction of Steven Avery and his nephew Brendan Dassey for the rape and murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005 — are calling for an even deeper review of the circumstances surrounding Avery's case.

Why 'Mob Psycho 100' Is Worth Watching
Autumn of 2017 is here and it's time to buckle down, grab your laptop, some pumpkin spice coffee, and the coziest blanket you can find because newsflash: it's only going to get chillier from here. As one anime nerd to another, you know this time of year is perfect for blanket/pillow fort anime marathons and binge-watching Ghibli movies at 2:35AM on a cold Wednesday night even though you know your alarm is set for 7:30AM that morning -- that's right, we've all been there, we're all in this together my sweet little nerds. However, we've also had those days where it is impossible to find something new to watch. How do we know if it's worth our time? How many episodes does it have? Is the dubbed or subbed version better? Just how emotionally attached am I going to get to the characters before this is over and I'm left empty and craving something new to fill the void?

Best Netflix Prison Shows
Orange Is the New Black is one of the best Netflix prison shows to ever air, and it's catapulted a number of highly talented actresses into fame. Unfortunately, there are only so many episodes of any Netflix Original series... and that can leave fans wanting for more while they wait for next season.

102anni: My Favourite 'One Tree Hill' Music Moments
It’s summer, it’s raining and I have an overabundance of time on my hands. That can only really mean one thing: a One Tree Hill marathon is in order. The age gap between my sister and I means I was fortunate enough to have been exposed to the dramas of Tree Hill High School from a young age. Even as a preteen, I found the storyline gripping and the characters easy to connect with. It wasn’t until my late teen years, however, that I really started to appreciate how the omnipresence of music lends itself to — if not sculpted — the entire show (and my Spotify playlists for years to come). Here is a compilation of all the times in which I thought a brilliantly crafted non-diegetic soundtrack and the angst-overload occurrences in One Tree Hill synergised exceptionally well.

'Twin Peaks' 2017: Laura Is The One. Top Story - September 2017.
It's been a hell of ride since the finale of Twin Peaks: The Return. Watching the two-parter live was unforgettable, a bracingly raw emotional experience that ran the gamut of thrills, laughs, unbearable tension, heart-warming resolutions, head-fucking narrative turns, and a horrifyingly fatalistic ending. I was so bewildered and overwhelmed, I could hardly speak for hours afterwards. There was so much to take in, to try and make sense of; much of Part 18 in particular was very open to interpretation, and what I felt was being implied was pretty tough to swallow. After everything he'd been through, why did Coop suddenly feel he needed to 'save' Laura? Did he break reality in the process? And what did those closing moments mean - with Coop seemingly lost and Laura more traumatised than ever, had the Black Lodge attained some nightmarish victory?

The Easter Eggs, Cameos, and Crossovers That Connect These 24 Nickelodeon Shows
After spending a majority of the past 24 years watching Nickelodeon, I had a thought. Anyone who watched enough Nick noticed that characters cross over into other Nick shows. Whether it was a full blown crossover, like The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour, or just a quick cameo, Nick wasn't shy about sharing characters. So I was wondering, how many of these shows can be connected together? Since I'm an unproductive member of society, I decided to graph out how these shows connect with each other. This is what I came up with.

There's a Little Bit of Jerry in All of Us
Jerry Smith is the one major character in Rick and Morty who is constantly trampled on and who everyone seems to hate. Rick hates him, mostly because he sees Jerry as having ruined his daughter's life by getting her pregnant while she was still a teenager. Most viewers hate Jerry because he's, well... human. He's a very ordinary, unremarkable man, unlike the rest of his family who typically go on exciting adventures with Grandfather Rick. There is nothing amazing about the way he dresses, the way he acts or the way he carries himself... save for the fact that it makes him the family scapegoat. In this way, he's a bit like Meg Griffin from Family Guy—constantly pushed aside, made to feel useless and being put down at every opportunity.

Review: Bojack Horseman Season 4
Is Bojack Horseman really about Bojack Horseman anymore? The first three seasons of Netflix’s animated tragicomedy saw the world of the show expand from its initial tight focus on the eponymous washed up star to encompass the rich characterisation of those around him, to the extent where it's easy to imagine a show based solely around any of the main cast. Netflix’s promotion for this season seemed to play this up, with Bojack’s L.A. exodus at the end of Season 3 setting the stage for a Season 4 in which no one knew where Bojack was, and not many more seem to care.

The Fall of Spongebob Squarepants: An Opinion From a Former Fan
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Well, for a time, I did, alongside Spongebob and his cast of underwater weirdos — and dang, did I ever love being down there. I said before that for a time, I enjoyed watching Spongebob Squarepants, and I meant it — that show was one of the few 'new age' cartoons on Nickelodeon that I loved watching on TV when it first aired, because it was new, exciting, crazy, and most of all, funny.

Steven Universe: One of the Best Cartoons of the 2010's
Being born in 1991, I grew up on a lot of what many in my age group would consider to be 'classic' cartoons on Nickelodeon: Rugrats, Catdog, Angry Beavers, Invader Zim, Hey Arnold!, Rocko's Modern Life, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters. Add onto those other classics, like Tiny Toon Adventures, Pinky and the Brain, and Animaniacs, and you have a good sense of the cartoons I grew up with.

Many fans feel certain there will be a fourth season, but until that time, if it even comes, we are left wondering.

In this article, we will go over five of the nagging mysteries left unresolved by The Return and attempt to gain some kind of closure.
