I'm still crying
20 June 2023
Poignant.

Important.

Heart breaking.

Raw.

I knew what I was getting myself into when I started this movie but I was not prepared. The performances are all impeccable, the emotions conveyed had me grabbing at my chest. These women both in real life and the ones that movie is based off of deserve their flowers.

The Rwandan genocide has always been an incredibly hard subject to tackle in media, trying to find a balance between not oversimplifying it and not trying to make it torture porn. This film finds that balance without fail. The fact that I was hooked the entire time when 99% of the film takes place in one room says something.

The Handmaid's Tale: Border (2022)
Season 5, Episode 3
9/10
I was worried after last season but WOW
22 September 2022
This season has not missed a single beat. The storylines are interesting and have us guessing how it will all go down going into the next and final season. The acting this season is on top form especially on the part of Yvonne Strahovski and Ann Dowd. These women have taken on their characters so well and after five seasons we feel their pain, anger, sadness etc: through their acting. The first three episodes have been nothing but intriguing and the dialogue has kept me hooked on every last word.

This season may just be the revival this series needed. IF YOU EVER STOPPED WATCHING A FRW SEASONS AGO, THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO RETURN!!

Drag Race Philippines: Miss Shutacca (2022)
Season 1, Episode 5
9/10
I'm falling in love with these girls
12 September 2022
The Philippine's girls are becoming one of my favorite casts of all time. They're funny, honest, caring and entertaining beyond words. This episode made me laugh non stop and finally Brigiding got a chance to prove just how much of a force she is. The judging this episode was also really good and the panel is so multi faceted that it makes all of their inputs worth listening to. International drag is showing what it's made of, I can't wait for what the rest of the season holds.

The snatch game next week will be the make or break of the season and I am very hopeful to see what the girls bring

Love love love.

All hail drag race Philippines!!!!!

10/10
My jaw dropped
25 August 2022
This has to be in the top 3 girl group challenges, along with UK2 and AS7. I have fallen in love with these girls so much. It looks like the 2022 international versions are taking over.

Canada's Drag Race: Snatch Game (2022)
Season 3, Episode 5
10/10
Season 3 officially started after this episode
13 August 2022
I won't lie, I hadn't fallen in love with most queens (except for boom boom, Bom bae and kimi ) in the first few episodes and was a bit worried about this cast but after this episode I'm sold on the season.

The reading challenge was the BEST out of all the CDR seasons, THEY BUILT THE MF LIBRARY this episode.

The drama was perfect and never felt overdone, the snatch game had me smiling the entire time and the runways were stunning.

Maybe CDR3 isn't so bad after all.

HBO stop subjecting my heart to these rollercoasters
7 July 2022
Theo James and Rose Leslie might just be my ship of 2022. I don't care if others can't deal with the format or the time skipping etc. It tugs on your heart strings and constantly keeps you hooked.

Also thank you to this series for introducing me to Theo James('s ass)

10/10
HOLY CR**
22 December 2021
One of the best survivor episodes of all time by a landslide. The deception, the rewards challenge and after last weeks twist this weeks episode took it up a notch. The biggest blind slide of the season so far and I can't wait to see what happens next.

Holy SHI-!!

This is drag! This is what all stars was made for! From the RUdemption runway showcasing sickening looks to the UNFORGETTABLE lip-sync, this episode had it all. If All Stars 6 keeps up this quality it is bound to be one of the best seasons of Drag Race yet!!

So beautiful to look at
15 June 2021
Brilliant acting and amazing story aside, this episode was absolutely beautiful to look at. The gillead set pieces and cinematography this episode was phenomenal. I'm so happy that this season took the slow start route because it's really paying off, can't wait for what lies ahead.

Definitely one to keep on watching
10 May 2021
Drag race down under has stolen my heart after only two episodes. The queens are drop dead gorgeous and absolutely hilarious, they definitely know how to banter among one another and with the judges. The conversations in the workroom are wholesome and emotional, some of the most beautiful and eye opening after drag race UK. This series has really surprised me and I can't wait for more!

10/10
YES YES YES
6 May 2021
This is the skins episode that contains the most iconic lines out of the entire series. This episode tackles mental health and the issues that come along with pill abuse and tackles it in such a raw and honest way that we end up constantly rooting for JJ Even though we know his story won't end well. One of my favorite episodes of skins!!

Mare of Easttown: Miss Lady Hawk Herself (2021)
Season 1, Episode 1
9/10
A slow yet brilliantly paced first episode
21 April 2021
The first episode does exactly what it needs to, it provides us with the main social dilemmas that each of the characters face - these surreal yet intriguing story arcs are fleshed out quite well and I hope the series keeps up the brilliant writing. The camera work of this episode is beautiful and helps each scene flow into the next without the viewer losing interest in the story. The cast is impeccable and Winslet's accent is an absolute wonder to behold, the comforting and well-written script helps elevate the series into a level that I'm fairly surprised to see. Can't wait for what this series has to offer, I have a feeling it's going to be a dramatic and interesting ride.

Gugu Mbatha Raw is a revelation
11 February 2021
This show has really picked up over the last few episodes but this one really took it to the top. The last few minutes of the episode are haunting, poignant and brilliantly acted. Gugu Mbatha Raw has some of the best emotional acting I've seen in a while, her silent rage filled the screen and I was left captivated and in awe of her power. Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!

One of the best seasons of drag race since drag race USA S6
7 February 2021
This season has it all, a brilliant cast, fun and entertaining challenges and brilliant runways. This episode is one of the funniest that I have seen in a while and I couldn't stop laughing. The character development of the queens this season is amazing and I can't wait to see what's next, every episode brings me to tears when watching the queens confessionals.

Grey's Anatomy: Bring the Pain (2005)
Season 2, Episode 5
10/10
Might just be one of the most iconic episodes of grey's ever!!
14 December 2020
This episode delivers the turning point for dereks and Merediths relationship with mer giving the "pick me, choose me" speech, showing her true emotions and how she really feels to Derek. Ellis also delivers her iconic "the carousel never stops turning" line to Meredith when she shows a glimpse of her former self. The Iconic elevator surgery also proves that George is a force to be reckoned with and one of the best characters in the show. This was true grey's anatomy at its purest and comes before one of the most heartbreaking grey's episodes of all time

SOMEONE SEDATE ME!!
14 December 2020
This episode is one of the most iconic characters episodes of grey's, thanks to Sandra Oh's brilliant performance in the last scenes of the episode. I loved seeing Bailey's storyline help chip away at the strong and stern character she portrays due to the connection she has with her patient this episode.

Emma Corrin is a POWERHOUSE!!
12 December 2020
This episode was beautifully heart wrenching. The cinematography was out of this world, the soundtrack was sublime and the acting was some of the most emotive I've seen in a long time. This episode brought me to tears to see how much the people truly loved dianna and the jealously the rest of the royal family harbored because of that, it was heartbreaking to think that her short life was filled with such hate and despair yet she managed to give her all to the public. Emma Corrin deserves all the recognition she gets from this series, brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!!

10/10
Couldn't of asked for a better episode
23 November 2020
This episode was amazing. It had an interesting medical case, new interns and pitch perfect grey's drama. My heart absolutely sank when Meredith and dereks theme played when they were on the beach, absolutely heart wrenching. I'm living how grey's is tackling COVID and how serious it is and how it appears realistically within our daily lives.

The Crown: Fairytale (2020)
Season 4, Episode 3
10/10
Absolutely heartbreakingly beautiful
20 November 2020
The soundtrack this episode was excellent, the perfect addition to the tone of heartbreak and self loathing that occurs in This episode. This episode portrayed a raw and moving depiction of Diana's inclusion within the royal family and household. It touched on her mental health and the emotions she was dealing with in regards to Charles and his ongoing live for Camilla and how she had to put a brave face on for the public who absolutely adored her. Emma corin is a powerhouse and definitely one to watch out for in the future.

This episode was brutally raw, traumatic and heart breaking. Odessa completely stole the show, she is a force to be reckoned with and someone to definitely keep an eye on in the future. From the amazing opening to the shocking and brutal ending, this episode was perfect from beginning to end.

10/10
An excellent and realistic character study
9 November 2020
This series has seriously taken me aback, it's raw and beautifully acted. The fact that this series doesn't have more recognition is beyond me. The soundtrack, the filming, THE ACTING, the plot lines; all perfection. This is a hidden gem and showcases the very best of Netflix content. The realistically diverse cast, raw representation of controversial topics and believable storylines make this series a wonder to behold especially with everything going on the world right now. A MUST WATCH!!
