I’ll cut right to the chase: I’ve been watching a lot of TV shows lately, especially with ongoing lockdown orders in place. As a result, I’ve put together a list of my latest TV recommendations of shows, ranging from teen dramas to Marvel to sci-fi and more!

During quarantine, I found myself buying an Amazon Prime subscription so that I could finally watch a bunch of shows I’ve been dying to catch up on, and American Gods was at the top of my list (along with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Boys, and Good Omens, all of which I will inevitably review in the future!). Naturally, two weeks into my Prime binge, I had already watched the full two seasons of the show. And while I absolutely loved Season 1, I can’t necessarily say the same thing about Season 2. Here’s why. (Warning: major spoilers for both…

I think I can safely say that The Crown is one of the most intriguing pieces of television of our time. If you don’t already know, it’s a historical-drama series that chronicles the lives of the current British royal family.

It’s that time of the year again when we see flowers everywhere and the price of chocolate is blasphemously high again. Last year, I did a list of my favourite unconventional Valentine’s Day movies to watch.

A show about a mostly functional family, Wanderlust is predominantly focused on a couple named Joy and Alan as they make a massive relationship change. Suffering from romantic and sexual ennui with each other, they decide to open their relationship to other partners. Mimicking the aura of the Netflix anthology show Easy – a show that also outlines the human experience through various interactions and relationships – Wanderlust doesn’t try to be a glamorized or overtly scandalous depiction…

As much as I love to watch shows and films that are considered truly artful and thought-provoking, I love just as much to sit down and mindlessly watch what might be considered “bad” television. Of course, the term “bad” is completely subjective, so I should really be saying that some shows are perhaps not of the best quality in terms of content, continuity, and let’s just throw it out there, acting. There’s something incredibly relaxing about not having to focus too much on the details of a show, though, which make these “guilty pleasure” shows so great. Here are five…
