Made of movies, books and literature. Occasionally there's a penchant for social commentary.
Its no news that I’m a fan of Netflix shows, especially because they manage to introduce the most innovative themes for game shows. ‘The Circle’ is a social media themed game show where the contestants don’t see each other but have to bond over an in-house social media tool named – well – The Circle...

The Witcher series on Netflix stands out for its intricate non-linear narrative structure, featuring intersecting timelines that challenge viewers' understanding.

There’s an unmatched feeling of cosiness that small towns bring, that makes me want more and more seasons of the series that centres on it. A small community where everyone knows everyone, they love, fight and feel at home is a warm feeling of belonging that seems to diffuse into me through my screen. ‘Anne... Continue Reading →
