Supernatural - my first addiction

Supernatural was the first American show that I actually following and watched throughout. I discovered it one fateful night, amidst some zapping on Portuguese TV, on a channel that usually didn’t have anything interesting.

I stopped for 10 seconds and I just couldn’t change the channel. Then, every week I stood in front of that TV for a whole new episode of monsters, mystery and plenty of weird stuff until the very last episode of the first season. I hated it! I recall it being mentioned at the end of the last episode, in the top right corner of the screen, and I thought it would be the very last one, ever. Dean (Jensen Ackles, also known for his role in The Boys' 3rd season) was dead!

Endless Seasons

The years went by, and there was always a new season. Some were great, some good, and others not so much, including some “What the hell is this?” moments.

I think, somewhere along the way the producers went too far, and nowadays I don’t watch the show anymore. I’m tired of it, I feel like it lacks more depth and makes less sense with each passing season.

Family Business

I still enjoy watching the old seasons occasionally, particularly the young, confused Sam (Jared Padalecki, Walker), the brothers' quest to find their father (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, The Walking Dead), and some answers. I'll catch the occasional new episode here and there, but I definitely don’t follow the show anymore.

It’s a shame, really… it was a pretty good show and I had a lot of fun watching it.

But at least, I’ll always have the memories of the good old days!

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story - review

While I found the pacing of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story slow and, at times, even boring, the show shines in one particular area: its psychological depth. What kept me engaged wasn’t the storytelling rhythm, but the way it explored two very distinct and haunting personalities under the same roof. Two Sides of the Same Violence The series captures the sharp contrast between Lyle and Erik brilliantly. On one side, we see the volatile, angry, and violent brother—unpredictable but outwardly dominant, always ready to explode. On the other side, there is the insecure, fragile “mouse” of the family—timid, hesitant, almost paralyzed by fear. Yet, what makes Erik compelling is that under the right conditions, even he can lash out violently, especially when pulled into the orbit of his more aggressive brother. The dynamic between them feels like a nightmare recipe: one commanding, the other submissive, but both carrying destructive potential. The Many Shape...
