The Most Timeless TV Shows
There are certain shows that stick with you long after you've finished the series finales. These are shows that you re-watch despite knowing the entire plot by heart. As an avid Netflix binger, I finish off shows faster than I finish my homework, but occasionally I need a break from going from new plot to new plot. That is when I queue up some of my old favorites so I can get lost in the familiar plot and beloved characters. Below are some of my favorites.
FX and Ryan Murphy Team for Groundbreaking 'Pose'
Ryan Murphy’s relationship with FX continues to break ground with the announcement of yet another new series. Pose is set to debut on FX in the Summer of 2018 and feature the largest transgender and LGBTQ cast in television history. Set in the playground of New York City in the 1980s the series is set to bring together the uptown yuppies and the downtown trendsetters for an hourlong series drama.
Sean PatrickPublished 6 years ago in GeeksSome Reasons Why Not
Hello everyone. I’d like to thank you, as one often should, for taking the time to read this. It really means a lot to me. There are a few things I need to make known about this post before you continue. First, it is, for all intents and purposes, a critical look at the new Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, and while I don’t necessarily intend to spoil the series for those who will watch it or haven’t finished it, I will not shy away from talking about the series as a whole. Second, because of the subject matter that the show addresses, this post is definitely going to be a little more on the somber side. And third, it is important to acknowledge this show not just as a form of entertainment or an interesting story to be told, but as a commentary on our culture’s attitude toward a number of issues, particularly that of mental health. With these things established, let’s talk about some stuff.

Only a few days are left until Season 2 of Netflix's hit sci-fi show, Stranger Things, is finally released. Although the show continues to tease us with sneak peeks, most recently with an unexpected and spooky trailer, fans are still on the edge of their seats, anxiously waiting for the beloved show's return. But thanks to #TheHillywoodShow, we have one more thing to help tide us over: the Stranger Things Parody!

Season 2 of #Riverdale is officially underway, and between the dark mysteries and steamy ships, it's safe to say that Archie and the Gang have grown up. The show keeps the light-hearted humor that the comics contained, but adds its own film noir flair that keeps us on the edge of our seat waiting for the next episode. But while Riverdale continuously pays homage to the Archie comics, there's no question that the characters have diverted from the source material in more ways than one. And with Season 2 undoubtedly bringing even more twists, let's take a look at how the characters have changed from comics to screen.

The Season 7 finale of Game of Thrones was a massive one. Between the meeting of almost all of our main characters, a shocking character death, and a startling, game-changing revelation, the finale did not disappoint. As is to be expected with Thrones, one of the biggest and most important moments was one of the more subtle ones. Near the end of the episode during a heartfelt moment between Sansa Stark and Arya Stark, Sansa recalls the words that their father used to say:
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Game of Thrones': Why Arya and Sansa Should Be Working Together
It's hard to believe that the Season 7 finale of #GameofThrones is less than a week away. With #HBO's hit show quickly wrapping up the season, a lot of loose ends are being tied. Alliances are being made, reunions being held, and while there is much cause for excitement, there is one particular arc that has many fans upset. The reunion between #SansaStark and #AryaStark is not what fans were hoping for. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Instead of these two incredible characters joining together to create a dynamic duo, they are at each other's throats. And while much of this is Littlefinger's doing, this story arc could have been avoided. And it should have. Pitting the Stark sisters against each other is one of the most disappointing plots of the show.
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in Geeks4 Reasons Why We Need to Stop Being So Hard on Theon Greyjoy
If we know anything about HBO's Game of Thrones, it's that no character on this show is perfect. Everyone has their flaws, and as soon as we think we have an idea about who the good guys and bad guys are, something happens to completely turn the tables. However, one character that the fans collectively have a love/hate, (or at the very least a pity/hate) relationship with is Theon Greyjoy.
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in GeeksFeminism Has Finally Reached Westeros in Season 7 of 'Game of Thrones'
Season 7 of HBO's hit fantasy show, Game of Thrones is promised to be the biggest yet, and so far, it is not a disappointment. With long-awaited meetings and reunions soon to be underway, along with the biggest battles we've seen yet, there's no confusion as to why fans are so excited. But the most exciting thing about the season? One word: women. The ladies of Westeros are finally being empowered in a way that we have never seen before. In fact, in ways that are quite uncharacteristic for the world we've come to have a love/hate relationship with. Many of our main and even secondary female characters are shining in new ways. Leading armies, ruling the world of politics, exacting justice and more, women are dominating Game of Thrones right now. And it's about time.
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWhy 'Game of Thrones' Season 7 Will Make or Break the Starks
"Ah, the Starks, quick tempers, slow minds." While Littlefinger's sentiment doesn't always ring true, there are, unfortunately, a few too many examples where it does. The Starks have borne some of the most honorable characters in Game of Thrones, characters that may have made noble decisions, but ones that ultimately led them to their demise.
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in GeeksWhy Brienne Will Make a Huge Impact in Season 7 of 'Game of Thrones'
Season 7 of #HBO's Game of Thrones is fast approaching, but with this excitement also comes fear and trepidation. The ever-present question of which favorite character shall die next is looming over all our heads. However, there is one character who could determine the fate of many in Westeros. One who is a firm fan favorite, yet somehow often underestimated.
Maggie StancuPublished 6 years ago in Geeks'Game of Thrones': Will Sansa Stark Betray Jon Snow in Season 7?
With the seventh season of HBO's hit fantasy show Game of Thrones fast approaching, tensions are rising. With a highly anticipated battle against the White Walkers and the ever-present question of who will claim the Iron Throne, alliances are falling as fast as they are forming. Arya is on her way back to Winterfell, Jaime Lannister may be the one to finally kill Cersei, and Daenerys may finally meet her nephew, Jon Snow. But there's one alliance that currently balances on the edge of a knife, impossible to tear your eyes away from. #JonSnow and #SansaStark's alliance will affect the fate of Westeros, but just how strong is it?
