Don't Hug Me I'm Scared
A Critique on the infamous online Youtube series
We are thrown into a surreal and disjointed reality with a group of close friends who live together who are playing house. Trauma and darkness lies underneath their colorful world, with secrets and lies strewn about in catchy songs that mirror our fixation on media to educate and amuse us.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

WOW! This sounds interesting!
This looks all kinds of creepy Melissa, is it? 😆 A terrific and intriguing critique. ☺️
I am so glad you did DHMIS! It's so good and so DARK! I still listen to the musical numbers! Green is not a creative colour.
Oooo, your review made me so intrigued about this show! I'll have to check it out!
Isn't all of reality somewhat surreal & disjointed? Or is it just mine?
I'll put this on my "Must Watch" list!
Well, I hadn't watched it. Now I have. Definitely an accurate review.
Love this! Super nostalgic for me :)
Haven't seen this, but your review make me curious to watch. Well done.
