Why Everyone Thinks That Season 8 of Netflix's 'Voltron' Was Queerbaiting
For those who don't know the term queerbaiting: Queerbaiting is the practice to hint at, but then to not actually depict, a same-sex romantic relationship between characters in a work of fiction, mainly in film or television. The potential romance may be ignored, explicitly rejected or made fun of.The derogatory term "queerbaiting" is meant to imply that this is done for the purpose of attracting ("baiting") a queer audience with the ultimately unrealized suggestion of relationships that appeal to them.

'Teen Mom 2' - Explosive "Behind the Screams"
16 and Pregnant was a revolutionary show for MTV back in 2009 that has led to multiple spin-off shows for the network. It was arguably the first American show to take an in-depth look at the struggles of becoming a mother at such a young age. Each season dedicated an hour to a different girl and gave them a chance to reflect on their struggle at the end of each episode.

The Beauty of the Belchers
In recent years, American culture has become nothing short of cynical. It seems commonplace to be mistrustful of people, to believe that everyone has a hidden agenda and will do anything and everything in their power to see it through. Every headline portrays the constant turmoil facing the country both abroad and on home soil, creating a sense of hopelessness. Even in a population of over 400 million, we all feel like we're going through life alone. And that's what makes a show like Bob's Burgers stand out.

The Screen Going Black Was 'The Sopranos' Only Option
I didn’t have HBO when TheSoprano’s ended, but I certainly heard about the outcome. So I wasn’t that jarred by the screen going black and was pretty accepting of the climax. Now binge-watching the series, I’ve been contemplating a more conventional ending and realize that there might not have been one.
