Netflix Loses Paid Users For the First Time in a Decade
Shareholders expected Netflix to hit subscriber growth of 2.7 million in Q1 of 2022. So, when the company announced that it had lost 200,000 subscribers — the first decline in paid users since late 2011 — and warned of further problems ahead, the feeling in the room must have been less ‘Netflix and Chill,’ and more ‘ Netflix and OMFG it’s over.’

Women in Television are Getting Messier, and that's a Good Thing . Top Story - April 2022.
I love a good antihero. If the success of shows like "Breaking Bad" is any indication, I'm not alone. We love to cheer on a flawed character. We find ourselves rooting for characters like Walter White, whose actions progress from illegal to downright immoral and evil, at times. We can empathize with a villain's backstory, and understand how they became who they are.

Young Adult Fiction Can Perpetuate Unhealthy Beliefs
When I was in the seventh grade, the hit television series Pretty Little Liars starring Lucy Hale and Shay Mitchell finally made its grand debut on Netflix. The older girls at my school had been raving about the books by Sara Shepard for years, so we were excited to see what all the hype was about.

Sitcoms and The Use of Satire to Demonstrate Gender Issues
Sitcoms are one of the most entertaining tv series, especially in the US, as they expose topics that are not usually talked about in a household, like sexism and racial issues. The Big Bang Theory and The Mindy Project are two sitcoms where gender and power struggle, especially for women, is presented passively in a humorous way. We can relate to sitcoms on a deeper level since they're not just there to entertain us, but with the use of satire, important issues are touched upon in a way that doesn't make it uncomfortable to most people. Both series represent the struggle that women experience regarding how smart and how capable they are. From Penny that is not portrayed as intelligent or smart compared to her 'genius' male friends, to Mindy aspiring to be a successful doctor in a male-dominated field.

My Childhood Hero
I am a huge fan of a large variety of fantasy worlds, but the fantasy world that had the greatest impact on me was one that I discovered through an old, obscure television series that I saw when I was a child. The series was a fantasy/adventure series called The Secrets of Isis. The fantasy world that existed in the series was so impactful because it gave me, as a young girl, a strong, powerful, intelligent role model to look up to. I actually have trouble finding other people who are familiar with The Secrets of Isis, but it was a very important part of my early years.
