My Review of "The White Tiger"
The White Tiger is Netflix's latest 2021 film that they've just released. They seem to be hitting some homeruns as of late and killing the competition as they're not releasing anything to take the hype away. I hope they continue to keep this upwards momentum. In the meantime let's talk about this latest new release from the streaming giant.

My Review of "The Bling Empire"
The Bling Empire is a reality TV series that was just released recently in 2021. I'm not a big fan of reality TV shows except if they're for competition. Usually I can identify with competition reality shows because there's real people trying to win some sort of prize. I would kind of categorize these shows more as grand game shows rather than reality TV. This TV show is full on reality TV where it's following the lives of certain individuals. I have never gotten into anything of this sort.

"Pretend It's a City"
Netflix has a way at certain times of putting out what I call a hidden gem. A hidden gem too me is that off off Broadway play that is really entertaining; a movie downtown that no one has spoken about but is really artistic; a restaurant that is off the beaten path, yet excellent. What is entertaining at times with Netflix is that they can do many different shows about many pithy things. "Pretend It's a City" is one of those pity, pragmatic series.

When a mission appears to be going sideways and a missile laden vehicle appears ready to wipe out an entire platoon, Harp violates orders and uses his drone weapons to eliminate the threat. However, the cost is the lives of two Marines that the platoon was attempting to save before the drone strike came. Harp killed two men in order to save 36 and that is all that saves him from a court martial for violating orders.

Caught Off Guard w/ "The Witcher"
Netflix Original Series The Witcher, has developed quite the following this year since its release in late December 2019, becoming one of those Netflix series a handful of people in your social groups tell you “is so good, you have to watch it!”. Having heard this phrase countless times and with additions to “My List” increasing faster than decreasing, I decided I’d finally start the show and finish it within the week. Well, that day has officially come!

What is Bugging Me About Bridgerton
I love Shonda Rhimes. Let me put that as the foundation. I love Shonda. Period. Ok, now that has been established: Bridgerton presents very oddly to me as a show.

Dearest Reader, Netflix's Brigerton Has A Race Problem.
Barring rare exceptions like Firefly and The Expanse, it is quite hard to find shows with a mixed-race cast wherein the black and/or person of color characters are treated with dignity and equality. It is too much to ask that some stereotypes, humiliation or historically insensitive micro aggression not be evoked. Brigerton is no exception.
