Whether you're binge watching or Netflix and Chilling, hats off to the digital streaming behemoth that never ceases to entertain.
Altered Carbon: Death is but a Distant Dream (Season 1)
Cyber-punk shows have never been done quite like this, and the justice that Altered Carbon delivers to the Sci-fi and cyber punk genres is nothing far from amazing. Through beautiful cinematography, strong performances, engaging fight sequences, and an emotionally compelling story, Altered Carbon has become a big steppingstone for future works of the like. Hold on tight, for every episode will have you pondering over the meaning of life, the unpredictability of the future, and will induce the occasional existential crisis. Not to worry though, for this is only science fiction (Or is it?).

Schitt's Creek | Netflix Original Series Review
Recently my boyfriend and I went to visit a friend for a socially distanced catch-up. As we bombarded each other with all the stories that we'd been unable to tell each other the past few months we finally got onto what we'd been watching on Netflix. She made us aware of Schitt's Creek, a comedy show she was currently going through for the second time. It instantly took my interest when we watched a few clips, then made even more interested when she mentioned that each episode was 20 minutes long.

My Review of "All Together Now"
All Together Now is a Netflix exclusive that recently came out. It seemed like an uplifting movie about a teen needing help. What I got out of this was a somewhat predictable movie but was more of an emotional roller coaster ride than I thought it would be. I think they did a pretty good job in depicting certain troubles that real people have issues with.

A Filmmaker's Review: "Auschwitz: The Nazis and the Final Solution" (BBC, 2005)
A documentary created by the BBC to showcase the lives of the survivors of the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau was first broadcast in 2005 and is now available on Netflix and other sites to view. It is a six-part documentary series that concentrates on the formation, building, usage and realisation of the Auschwitz death camp and from the survivors telling their tales of pain and torment to an surviving SS Officer who is haunted by his own ignorance and even to love stories which evolved between prisoner and officer in the death camp - this documentary shows us the interior of Auschwitz like we have never seen before. I bet they did not teach you about any of this stuff in school. It is absolutely heartbreaking.

A Filmmaker’s Review: The Confession Killer (Netflix, 2019)
“The Confession Killer” is a show about a serial killer whom we all know very well as being one of the most prolific killers in American History - Henry Lee Lucas. The question explored in this documentary is whether he was actually as prolific as he was made out to be. Confessing to over 200 murders and only having evidence of murdering under 10 people, this documentary seeks to clear up all the strangeness with the case that surrounded him. If you’ve paid attention to the Henry Lee Lucas case, you’ll notice that there was a big deal surrounding whether he was coaxed into confessing these random murders that kept appearing even though it was proven that when the murders happened, he must have been thousands of miles away. Various tickets from gas stations halfway across the country solidify the statement that Henry Lee Lucas probably didn’t kill most of these people at all. The documentary itself is filmed brilliantly. Alongside people who were actually at the case and hearings, people who worked on the prosecution, people who worked on the defence, people who released the story and even the DA who forced an investigation into the Texas Rangers only to get his ass handed to him in despair. This documentary turns over every single stone possible and shows us that not every law enforcement officer is there to look out for us. Some of them just want to close their open cases and be the hero of their time - at whatever cost necessary.
