My Critique of the Critique Challenge Itself
A simpler challenge, causing many to pen a quick entry. I’ve observed funny, detailed, and clever entries flood in; watching in awe as people announce they're submitting twenty, thirty, or even fifty submissions! I refuse to jump on the bandwagon... I shall not... I will not... ah f*ck it, - post.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer
A nineties cult classic that has grown old gracefully, Buffy the Vampire Slayer still reigns as one of television’s most influential feminist turning points. Its moral compass and deep-rooted coming-of-age character development remain unchallenged, even amongst the vampires, daemons, and forces of darkness. Into every generation, a masterpiece is born.

Peaky Blinders
In the bleak midwinter, amongst horse manure and backhanded business deals, lies the lawless town of Small Heath, Birmingham. Thomas Shelby and his gang of razorblade-wielding peaked-cap-wearing gentlemen, take on all manner of dastardly deeds as he strives to climb the political ladder; proving to be a compelling watch.

The Sopranos
The Sopranos gives us a taste into the underworld of Gangsters and Goomahs. For six seasons we can live amongst the criminal elite and learn the ways of a Mafia Boss, his Consigliere, and his Captains; as Tony, Silvio, Paulie, and Christopher take us on a ride of a lifetime.

The Bible
A concoction of short stories, thrown together to convince entire generations of the impossible and implausible. Abused, to justify the suppression of minorities and throw shame on the innocent, it remains a leading world power despite unimaginable suffering, world hunger and war. Yet they still pray. I remain dumbfounded.

The Famous Five
Stories full of mystery and adventure written for the young and old alike. With high tales of courage and friendship, this series sparked my lifelong love for reading when I was but a child. Enid Blyton graced many a long, lonesome night with her ability to awaken my youthful imagination.

The Menu at my local Wetherspoons
Their dishes displayed in attempt to seduce with their low prices and wide range, yet I can’t help but notice the promise to have my order on the table a mere ten minutes after I order and worry how they intend to cook the meat. I order anyway, of course.

Cinderella
Cinderella, like most Disney classics, involves a woman who looks for love in the most bizarre of places. Personally, I hope when my daughter grows up, she has higher standards than a man who has to use a shoe to identify her, because he doesn't recognise her without make-up on.

True Crime Documentaries
From the comfort of our armchairs, we watch people in their worst moments, reliving unimaginable horrors, and eat our snacks. Providing us with the opportunity to watch murderers succumb to the realisation that they are indeed, caught. Little glimpses into a world far removed from our own, yet dangerously close.
