Dee SimonePublished 5 years ago in GeeksWatching 'Baki' Season 1 Part 2
If you have already read my piece on the first half of the season, you would know how I feel about it. For those of you that have not, I was less than impressed with the presentation of the show. That being said, there was a certain allure to the show that made me count down the days till the remainder was dropped on Netflix. Having now watched the remaining 13 episodes, my opinion of the show has been completely turned around.
Tracks and Tube
Let me first start off by saying, because my boyfriend is gonna feel some type of way if I don't, that I was not immediately sold on this show from the first three episodes. The beginning formula felt wrong. Like, yeah, it was a cute show and it had a POC cast that I'm always happy to see. But it was just a little odd at first because it has this weird Nickelodeon/Degrassi vibe. Like, it's too adult to be on regular television but it felt like Dan Schnieder from Nickelodeon had produced it. (Which he doesn't need to do anything involving children ever again.) Luckily, Dan's hands are nowhere near this project, but Eddie Gonzales and his team are heading this one up. Eventually, once we got past these episodes, the tone of the show began to shift and finally settle into a more mature script that allowed me to continue watching.
Melanie ErnestinaPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'When We First Met'—Review (Netflix)
Is there a person that one is supposed to meet? Most of us have, at some time, been besotted with or liked the wrong person. That is life. Still, there is a train of thought that says we are destined to meet certain people and certain people are destined to be together.

'The Perfect Date'—Review (Netflix)
Maybe I’m getting softer as I age. Films seem to have more of an emotional impact on me as of late. Not that I was some soulless, hard-hearted, individual before, but I definitely do get much more of the feels when watching a film these days.
Q-ell BettonPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Bonding' - A Review (Netflix)
Sometimes my mouth—or fingers in this case—go before my brain. Let me explain. I have a history of watching the first episode of a series and then leaving it. I’ve done it with GOT, The Wire, 24, Ozark, all critically acclaimed shows that I have seen opening episodes of but never returned to.
Q-ell BettonPublished 5 years ago in GeeksDoes 'The Umbrella Academy' Seem Oddly Familiar?
Oh yeah, it's just like The Haunting of Hill House. Right from the beginning of watching The Umbrella Academy, I knew it reminded me of The Haunting of Hill House... then the similarities just kept rolling in...
'Next Gen' Movie Review
In a (not quite so) futuristic society, robots are involved in every facet of life. From being toothbrushes with aggressive parental settings to cups of noodles that dance when they are hot and ready to be eaten—they even dispose of themselves in the garbage! Despite all this luxury and convenience, the viewer often feels something is missing, and Mai shows us that things aren't really as good as many believe.

If you are a fan of the MCU (like me), and watch a lot of the press and promotional stuff online, in the run-up to an upcoming release, you may have noticed an unlikely friendship develop between a couple of the MCU's biggest stars.
