Episode 8 of 'Riverdale' Made Me Completely Reevaluate My Perspective on Hal Cooper with a Brilliant Revelation
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 8 OF RIVERDALE ENTITLED "THE OUTSIDERS" The aptly-titled episode name for this week's #Riverdale depicts the various outsiders that inhabit the titular town with pep. They range from the Serpents gang, who attempt to distance themselves from the Riverdale residents by wearing matching leather jackets, to a daughter returning from the outside world of the Sisters to the familial pressures of wealthy WASPs. I was a little disappointed Betty didn't pipe up during the baby shower with a "Stay Golden, Pollyboy" reference but I digress.

The Flash returned from its winter hiatus tonight, ushering in Barry's trial for the supposed murder of Clifford DeVoe. And while I love The Flash, this episode had more issues than Time Magazine.

Why 'The Good Doctor' Advocates for More Than Mental Health
Many have seen, if not heard of, ABC's new show The Good Doctor, which shares a story about Dr. Shaun Murphy and his journey as a doctor and individual. Dr. Murphy is unique in his own right, having been diagnosed with both Autism—rather, the higher functioning version of Aspergers—and Savant syndrome. Personally, I believe, especially in today's world, that mental health is often spared from many conversations; yet when we stop to reflect, we realize how important our mental health is in order to live a better life. This is definitely a show to help us as a society to get there. The show brings to light common aspects that are often overlooked, such as prejudices, mental health, and themes like honesty, determination to beat criticism, and real-life situations among many others with a bit of comic relief to pacify the mood.

'Star Trek' With Swearing
First thing I have to say: “Charlie Brooker, you let us down! Where was our 2017 wipe?" To get why “USS Callister” was so good (and why Black Mirror goes further to the edge than any TV show in recent years) you have to understand who Charlie Brooker is. He’s not a writer, nor is he a comedian. He’s a commentator. He reviews TV programmes. He makes rude and well observed comments about our world. He has a turn of phrase which swings between cringe-worthy violence and the surreal. For example:

Why I Love 'Yu-Gi-Oh!'
When I look back at the anime that I fell in love with—his was back in the summer of 2015—I always thank my younger self for getting into Yu-Gi-Oh!, this amazing, inspiring anime that I will never forget and let go. I've learned so much from this anime like friendship, Egyptian history, the card game (duel monsters), and it even makes my day smile.

Characters Who Ruined Good TV Shows from Being Great Ones
Some TV shows are based around annoying characters, and this can work well if that is the intent, take Michael Scott from The Office as the perfect example. Michael is annoying and incredibly diluted but somehow it all works seamlessly, and at times he even comes off as endearing.
