If Coach Carter, Then One Tree Hill
One Tree Hill is one of the shows I continue to revisit because of the nostalgia and familiar comfort, arguably isn't like anything else I have seen on TV. (And I watch A LOT of TV shows). What made this challenge particularly hard was that One Tree Hill covers so many elements in one show that I haven't seen depicted that way in another. And as I sat on the prompt of this challenge for a couple of weeks now, it finally hit me! The comparison lies in the direction and inspiration of the creator! Mark Schwan, in my opinion, was such a genius in how he went about creating this show and using so many elements to drive a 9 season narrative. Aspects of family ties, friendship, relationships, personal development, basketball, internal struggles, mental health, and music made the show as big as it was in my eyes.

From NYC to Paris
In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, women around the world, including myself, dedicated over 50+ hours of their life into watching the fabulous, fictitious lives of the upper east side unfold. (More if you watched a second, third, fourth... hundredth time.) Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha weren’t just tv characters, they were our soulmates.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful ‘ fans believe Liam has one more shocking blow coming his way
Those who watch The Bold and the Beautiful have been outspoken regarding recent events and many hope that Steam and Lope are both history. Viewers have hung in there for years watching Liam go back and forth between Steffy and Hope unable to be with the one without lusting for the other. Now some fans have become fed up withSvoty Clinton’s character and want to see him suffer for stringing these two women along. The current situation is bringing to mind a past event that was never finalized to the satisfaction of most fans.

Married at First Sight Australia
I've never been ashamed to admit my penchant for trashy reality television. But even I know my slight addiction to Married at First Sight is possibly taking it a bit too far. Truth is, I - like so many others - can't get enough of the trials and tribulations of these people trying to forge a bond with someone they have just met. As always there is an eclectic mix of characters, which makes for good TV. Sadly, it's at the expense of some of the less colourful characters who are probably on the show for the right reasons - not a shot at fame. Last night Bryce was again in the hot seat. The rumour mill was swirling (for a group of people who are apparently living somewhat of an insulated existence, word sure gets around - I'm guessing a few friendly producers may ensure this is the case) with talk that Bryce had a girlfriend on the outside. The source? Bec. Now don't get me started on her. Every other "bride" on the show would happily throw themselves at her husband but she would rather call him out every time he sneezes. Anyway, apparently Bryce and his big mouth let it slip to Bec at the gym about this so-called girl on the outside. He had been talking to a mate about her and spoke to Bec about how he planned to last until the end of the experiment with Melissa - all the while talking about said girl. Apprently the mate asked Bryce if he wanted him to take her a present. Well, good old Bryce, who doesn't seem to know how to think on his feet (surprising for someone who works in radio) flat out denied it. Said there was no truth to any of it. Fast forward to the dinner party and Bryce had to back-pedal faster than Cadel Evans. Yes, he had met a girl a month before marrying Melissa. But no he hadn't spoken about a present. Well, Bryce, I don't think that was the part your new bride was worried about but, whatever, you do you. Not sure what Bryce's deal is but his beetroot-red face sure seems to be a tell that he's been caught in a lie.

Old favourites on repeat? Then this...
TV time is sacred. And then you become a parent, and TV time is the holy freaking grail. Gone are the days where endless hours could be wasted bingeing away. It never used to matter that I was watching that episode of Friends for the 1000th time, I could watch something new whenever I wanted, if that time ever came.

Reality VS Reality
Let’s talk reality shows. What is a reality show? According to the dictionary: a reality show is a television program in which ordinary people are continuously filmed, designed to be entertaining rather than informative. They are the cheapest to produce, but the most popular television programs to watch.

MAFS: “I’m just being honest” - The greatest fuckline since Dean Wells told everyone he was a feminist.
I love this show as much as the next person. It’s trash TV at its best and I have been borderline obsessed since being personally trolled by the likes of Nasser and DW - it made me laugh so hard I just had to watch it, because - HOW DO THEY FIND THESE PEOPLE?! AND HOW DO THESE PEOPLE ACTUALLY EXIST?

If You Love Crazy Romance Shows, Here Are 2 That Will Knock You Off Your Feet!
Before I started watching YOU, I was slowly losing hope for Netflix. I would scroll for hours just to find an interesting show to binge when I got home from a long school day and couldn't find anything that caught my eye.

How come we aren't talking about the rape scene in Bridgerton?
Content warning: Rape Spoilers for Bridgerton season 1 episode 6. I’d heard a lot of talk about Bridgerton at the start of the year, so when I finished what I'd been watching it was the next show on my list, and I must say it was a good watch. And damn does it make me thankful that I live in the 21st Century. Watching Daphne almost get married off to some random old man had me cringing, and I was incensed with rage when he then tried to claim her and assaulted her. Also, the thought of ‘shaming’ yourself and all the women in your family just for being with a man ‘unchaperoned’ is horrendously archaic. Honestly, props to all women for making it through that time alive because it must have been absolute hell. My other half even made a comment when Daphne’s older brother was trying to find her a husband, asking how I’d feel if my older brother was having to find me a husband. Thank god we don’t operate like that anymore!
