Must Watch Reality Shows on Netflix
Netflix streaming offers thousands of hours of high quality, scripted tv shows. However, sometimes you just want to turn your brain off a binge watch something that's easily digestible, something you will never have to give a second thought to. For many of us, this is where reality tv comes in.
Joseph FarleyPublished 7 years ago in GeeksHow to (Not) Handle an OP Character
So in researching my Isekai video, I started watching In Another World with My Smartphone… and well it’s kinda bad. No hard feelings if you like it, but personally I just can’t get into it, and I started to wonder why that was. Because it’s made… competently, there were some parts I enjoyed and its premise isn’t that dissimilar to Konosuba. Guy dies before his time, so he gets to live out his life in a fantasy world and is allowed to bring one thing with him. Yeah, the start line is almost identical, except Aqua’s gotten an upgrade and is actually useful. But from there, these two stories diverge drastically. Because in Isekai Smartphone, our protagonist didn’t just get to keep his cellular device, God also gives him a stupidly high affinity for magic, Matrix-level reflexes, and basically a photographic memory, making him right off the bat one of the strongest characters in the world he wakes up in. Very OP, if you will. And this is where the problems start. There are right ways and wrong ways to portray an overpowered character, and this show firmly falls into that latter camp.

Designated Survivor is based on a real life political concept. It’s basically when the current president nominates one of their staff to sit out of the State of the Union in the unlikely event the government is wiped out. Although a very far-fetched idea, this is a routine which is carried out by the current US administration.

Whether or not you collect vinyl records, you've definitely seen the ads. Vinyl subscription services have really kicked off in the last year or two, with unboxing videos becoming a phenomenon all their own — if you're one of the many people who sent me death threats for starting the VNYL unboxing trend, I'm sorry.
