Underrated Shows Cancelled Before You've Even Heard Of Them
HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA (2010-2011) I remember so vividly in absolute astonishment, "What the hell.. Kid Cudi acts?," when I discovered this first show I want to write about. This show details an unlikely story following two best friends trying to start a fashion brand in the heart of New York. The show, How To Make It In America, felt like such a refreshing take on a story I am positive we all have heard at least once from a friend or may have even been you in some point of our lives. The struggle of balancing your creative passions and proving yourself. Following these entrepreneurs in their creative struggle, you get a taste of the compromise and uncomfortable growth you may be faced with that is still relevant to this day. I was so sad I had discovered this show years after it had already been cancelled. But I take solace knowing that someday the creators or some other talented writer who was partly inspired by this short lived series will put out a show on Netflix, Hulu, AppleTV, DisneyPlus, Amazon Prime, or whatever new streaming service that'll be out someday in the future. So my last plea for recommending this show to y'all is, come on.. it has Scott Mescudi playing a weed dealer in the city of New York. What more can you honestly ask for in this time of quarantine.

My Review of "Be Water"
Be Water is one of the many biographies of Bruce Lee. It's obvious that he's been a huge cultural icon to the world but what makes this biography different from all of the others? Well this one speaks upon Bruce Lee's life as told by those that were closest to him. Many of the other biographies or biopics you've seen have a perspective that kind of take from a variety of sources but you don't really have people like his wife Linda Lee Cadwell give personal testimonies to confirm specific claims.

ICYMI- Some Fire Shows to Get You Thinking
It's been close to three months since the country has been on a lock down and "stay at home" orders have been issued across the country and while some of us have picked up new hobbies, finally started that project we've been talking about, baking like our life depends on it. Some of us, like myself, have been taking the time to finally slow down and just catch up on shows, books, and just much needed sleep. So here is my short list of great shows ICYMI

ICYMI - Animated Gems
If you are like me you spend a lot of your time with Netflix running in the background, content with it to be background noise and restarting an episode if it get's to far and you're now totally lost...

3 Critically Acclaimed TV Shows More People Need to Binge Watch
When asking for TV show recommendations, you are more than likely guaranteed the following suggestions from whichever well-meaning person you sought this opinion from: Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad followed by Better Call Saul, Stranger Things, Bojack Horseman and (of course) the age old question that has forced even the best of buddies to do battle - The Wire or The Sopranos?

"Dynasty" is a show for everyone
Season 3 dropped on Netflix a few weeks ago, and it feels like a show too little known. None of my friends watch it, and they're the only ones who read this, so babes, this one's for you.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S
Everyone is always asking me why I am still watching the Friends sitcom television series. Honestly, I am just hooked on the television show. As a person who deals with depression, I have a couple of go-to shows. When I want drama and something sexy I watch True Blood or Vampire diaries. When I want to watch some kind of culture show I watch Jane the Virgin. Lastly, when I am depressed and want a mood booster I watch friends. Even after watching the TV series over and over again I still cannot help to smile and laugh.

Diary of a Working Housewife (Part 9)
I must say this pandemic has us all looking for the next best series to get hooked on. With all gyms, parks, beaches, malls, and restaurants closed staying home without losing our minds has become a second job. We all need the distraction at a time like this and there is so much housework you can actually do before you go insane. I, myself have gone from one binge-watching to another and I can give you a few shows that will keep you glued to the TV and sending your kids to eat chocolate in their room just so they could leave you alone (not that I've done that).

The Power and Impact of TV Shows
For as long as I can remember, I've always been a film enthusiasts. With the advent of Netflix, I went from a passionate viewer to an aspiring filmmaker. Following religiously screenwriters, showrunners, producers and directors on social media, asking them questions and interacting with fellow users, I became obsessed by taking the cinematic route. The more I watched TV shows and witnessed the birth of cult-following series, the more I understood their strong convening power. But what I love the most about TV series is without hesitation the creative possibilities they offer, a thing movies can't quite achieve because of time constraints. Series allow authors to build believable worlds filled with rich lore and diversified intrigues and to develop characters in depth, characters viewers can truly relate to. That is where TV shows can have huge impacts on people. The empathy for fictional personalities are ''practically the God particle'' of the small screen. For that to be achieved, viewers have to understand the characters, but that needs to be organic. Taking the viewer by the hand by guiding him too much can have the opposite effect. In my humble opinion, the worst thing a series can do is be condescending with its viewers. Screenwriters and showrunners need to find the fine line between taking their audience for granted and intervene excessively. The key is trust. The best creators are the one who make the necessary information available so the viewer can make his own deductions and equations. Emotivity can't be forced.

The Raw portrayal of Fat-Phobia or Umbrella Academy in Prison: These Are the 3 Binge-Watchable Shows You Totally Missed Out On
The golden era of Beverly Hills 90210, Friends, and Step by Step has left the chat. We are subjected to shows that make zero sense (I am looking at you, Riverdale) or leave us with little to no artistic impression. In this age of consumerism and extreme competition, networks and streaming services are spitting out TV shows faster than you can say “The Vampire Diaries was a pretty big mess towards the final season, too.”

Why I Dropped 'Woodpecker's Detective's Office'
Woodpecker Detective's Office was a show that I was very intrigued by. Firstly, as a result of it being a detective narrative, and secondly, as a result of the era of Japan the narrative was taking place in. In fact, I thought that the opening of the first episode was incredibly strong and had my interest. However, this interest started to wane to the point that I decided to drop the show after six episodes.
