Santa Clarita Diet

With Drew Barrimore as protagonist, Santa Clarita Diet is one of those shows that might make you laugh until your belly hurts. Although it’s not particularly amazing or with an incredibly deep story, it’s just lots of fun.

Don't Think, Laugh

I started watching it after a long day spent in the mall trying to buy some stuff for my baby. Since I hate to go shopping and hate places with loads of people, I came home wanting to just lie in bed and sleep for hours, but of course, that’s impossible with a little one always craving for attention.

So, in order to relax, my husband convinced me to watch this show, and we didn’t stop until we finished it. There aren’t many words to explain it, per se. It’s fun, in a way that kind of makes you forget about your day, and you’ll end up laughing a lot.

It's Zombies... Right?

There are some nasty scenes, but I can tell you, you won’t think twice about it because you’ll be laughing too much to realize how disgusting they are.

It is about zombies, but not in an apocalyptic kind of way. It is just for fun, really. It is more a Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse than a The Walking Dead kind of thing.

A Good Dose of Forgetting About the World

They built a story with some logic —not good, not bad —but that’s definitely not what keeps you watching this.

If you need to forget about everything and have a good time without any major worries, I totally recommend watching Santa Clarita Diet.

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...
