All About Sisterhood
I was introduced to Gilmore Girls when I was in college in 2007. Long after the show had been airing live, my sister gifted me a few seasons on DVD for my 19th birthday. Ahh nostalgia...back in the day where if you wanted to "binge watch" you pulled out an encyclopedia-sized box full of a season's worth of episodes at a time. Side note: Do people still know what encyclopedias are?! Instead of pushing the "Yes I am STILL watching" button, you had to change out disks every 3-4 episodes. I immediately fell in LOVE. The mother/daughter dynamic, the quirky small town, the COFFEE. The characters immediately drew me in, and the fast-pace and quick-wit kept me coming back. I rooted for Rory and Dean while reflecting fondly on my high-school romances. When she got caught up with the bad boy, Jess, I couldn't help but remember the time I dated a guy 6-years older whom my family had FORBIDDEN I see. Obviously making him all the more interesting to me, I gave 2 years of my life away to a poorly written love story. I watched episode after episode, season after season. All I asked for was another season on DVD for birthdays and Christmas until I had completed my 7-season set. My bookshelf-turned-entertainment-center proudly housed my collection, and I re-watched each season more times than I can count during the many years I lived alone and couldn't afford cable.

The Circle: If Big Brother was an episode of Catfish, made by the Black Mirror creators
Big Brother, the sensation that spanned almost two decades from the turn of the millennium, was the British version of the Dutch reality television franchise of the same name. If you're an adult Briton, the chances are that you've known and loved the show in all of its intrusive glory. Alas, all good things have to sadly come to an end.

Intervene with Intervention
My guiltiest tv show addiction is a toss up between Intervention and my 600-lb Life. I am not sure what draws me into these shows, but I can sit and watch them for fours on end, and never tire of them. I am drawn to the stories of heartbreak that leads them to their current situation. It truly reminds me the importance of not judging others and how every single person experiences some sort of traumatic event in their life.

Marvel is now getting the TV game right
When Marvel announced its plan to give some Avengers their own TV show, I felt as if that is quite unfair to those characters. In my opinion, there is still a lucrative opportunity for them to release those plots as a full-length picture instead of having it in a TV show format. You can even say that I took it personally that my beloved Scarlet Witch, who is one of the most powerful avenger/mutant in the MCU, is only getting a TV show. While newcomer Captain Marvel gets massive headlines for being the first female titular MCU film, when they have already introduced badass heroes like Scarlet Witch and Black Widow that girls like me looked up to when at the start of what we now call the Infinity Saga.

By Order Of The Peaky Blinders.
If you love a good show that keeps you on the edge of your seat, and has a few seasons keep reading! It all starts in Birmingham, Loudon. In 1919, Thomas Shelby returns home to Small Heath, Birmingham from serving in The British Army during World War I. Tommy is the leader of the notorious gang, Peaky Blinders. Small Heath is ruled by the Blinders, with Arthur the oldest Shelby brother to Tommy's left, and the third born Shelby brother, John to his right. However, nothing would rule, without the brothers Aunt Polly. I personally think Polly keeps the gang within reality, especially as the seasons progress. The Shelby's are Romanian Gypsy's. Their gang was first known for sewing razor blades in their caps, within easy reach to slice a cheek or two, may the occasion arise. Tommy, had bigger things in sight for the Blinders. Racing Horses, and of course guns was only the start. Tommy, Arthur, and John intended to clear anything that stand in their path. They did that and more. He had his uncle Charlie, in the yard. Never failed him, you'll see how it all comes together through the seasons. Then you have Johnny Dogs. Well, I wont ruin that once for you. He never disappoints when carrying out an order.
