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.

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

Grief in the Shadows: Why 'The Silencing' Stands Out

A moody thriller about grief, violence, and how far we go for the ones we love. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ( Game of Thrones ) is Rayburn Swanson , a former hunter who now lives in isolation, running a wildlife sanctuary named after his missing daughter. Years after she vanished, Rayburn is just barely functioning—haunted, grieving, and clinging to the hope that she might still return. When a murdered girl turns up in the woods with eerie similarities to his daughter's disappearance, the local sheriff, Alice Gustafson ( Annabelle Wallis ), launches an investigation. Rayburn, meanwhile, accidentally crosses paths with a mysterious masked figure hunting a girl on his land. This encounter pulls him into the heart of the case in ways he never expected. The investigation twists, misleads, and slowly unravels, building toward a reveal that isn’t obvious—and intentionally so. Nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Themes of Grief and Family What makes The Silencing compelling is...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...
