The High Demand for Documentaries

Credit: Netflix Raise your hand if you are fascinated by the stories and minds of horrific serial killers! I, for one, love to learn about the lives of serial killers either by reading books, reading released police reports, listening to podcasts, or by watching TV series. Netflix has gained a lot of popularity in recent years due to the increase in documentaries, docu-series, and other series that reenact the past.  Today I want to talk about a particular Netflix series that took off and was binge watched globally… Dahmer- Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story . Dahmer is described to be a crime thriller and biographical series. It follows the story of one of the most prolific serial killers in America as is told from the point of view of many victims' families and survivors. The actor that played the role of Dahmer was Evan Peters and he was an absolutely perfect match. Evan Peters had to get inside the head of Jeffery Dahmer for SIX MONTHS in order to understand how to authentical...

Calling All Hopeless Romantics! It's Bridgerton Time!

Miss Daphne Bridgerton… the Duke of Hastings….  Miss Kate Sharma…. Viscount Antony Bridgerton… Queen Charlotte…. King George…. This is the tale of family, friends, scandal, and love during the social seasons of Regency-era England. Bridgerton is a TV series produced by Shondaland that is based on a series of romance novels written by Julia Quinn . Two of the seasons can be found on Netflix as Bridgerton and the other season can be found on Netflix as Queen Charlotte.  I wake up every morning wishing I could spend just one social season in England in the 1800’s. To be able to experience and watch the season first hand would be breathtaking. Between the fashion, the language, the chivalry, the scandal, the love triangle, and the gossip there is not much more you could ask for in a romance series.  Season one starts by following the life of the eldest Bridgerton daughter, Daphne. When the Queen of England names Daphne as the social seasons incomparable Antony Bridgerton, Da...

Hey everyone! Hope y’all had a great week of watching Grey’s Anatomy . This week we’ll be looking at a show that is wayyy different that Grey’s. This show has been airing since 2003, was the spinoff series of JAG, and follows the story of a team of criminal investigators…. Any guesses? YOU GOT IT! We are diving into NCIS this week!  NCIS is co-directed by Donald P Bellisario and Don McGill and has been airing for 20 years now. As the original show continued to gain popularity, they decided to create shows for different NCIS units across the country. There are now NCIS: Los Angeles, NCIS: New Orleans, and NCIS: Hawaii ( See more info here ). Periodically there are crossover events between some of the four shows. For a period of time in my childhood I was set on being a special agent for the government and I am pretty sure that this was because I was being influenced by NCIS. The show follows Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs and his team at the Naval Criminal Investigative Services ...

Meredith Grey is Here to Stay

Today we will be learning every detail of the entire story line of the 19 seasons of Grey's Anatomy..... JUST KIDDING! That would take years to cover and a whole emotional roller coaster that none of us need.   Before we dive into to the wondrous world of McDreamy and McSteamy, I would like to begin by introducing myself a bit. My name is Kaylynn and I'm 20 years old. Television has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching shows like M.A.S.H, Friends, and Drake and Josh with my parents and I discovered my love for complex plot lines that I can live vicariously through. In my eyes watching TV shows is like reading a book because I can live a million different lives without ever leaving my living room. When streaming platforms boomed it gave me even more opportunities for this which is why I am here today. So.... thats enough about me. Let's get into our first look at the complex world of Grey's Anatomy. Grey's Anatomy is the ty...
