The Sinner




The Sinner is a “crime drama mystery” show that you can watch at Netflix. It has a good plot, deep characters and the right amount of mystery that clues you in every now and then, without ever revealing too much. Unpredictable outcomes and good cliffhangers at the end of each episode will keep you hooked on this show for hours.

You have different stories for each season and both of them are a little disturbing, in their own way. In the first season, we meet a woman with a hard past, filled with psychological abuses, surrounded by hypocrisy and, from my point of view, some madness. Despite that, she kept herself strong, until a single event blows everything out.

The detective of the case, the actual connection between both seasons of the show, is a very interesting and peculiar character himself. 

At the end of the first season, I couldn’t see much development and potential for a second one, yet recently, I’ve seen that it had been there all along, with Julian’s case. A very different case, and story but as good as the first one. When you start watching and you realize that there was a child involved in a murder case, you’ll probably imagine something way different from what you’re gonna watch. Disturbing, nonetheless.

In this season, on top of everything we discussed for the first one, some ethical dilemmas, conflict of interest and some almost existential questions arise. Personally, I liked the second season even more! Hope there will be a third one that turns out to be as good as both of these.

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

  The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

  Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s.  The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles.  It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent.  The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...

The Lying Life of Adults - Review

  The Lying Life of Adults shows us, once more, that the teenage years and growing up can be painful.  Giovanna is the main character of this story, and she is feeling all the fast changes adolescence demands in a deeply divided town. Before this situation, her body and her opinions and desires are changing fast. Perhaps, too fast. Parents aren’t perfect. It is usually in those teenage years that we realize our parents aren’t perfect. They are humans with all the flaws that that implies. Giovanna is no different. Her parents are not as she thought they were, and her perfect family isn’t perfect at all. Those adults, those references that she admires, hide things, lie, and do things that she considers wrong. They are like everybody else. They are not heroes. When we realize that our parents are not the superheroes we believed they were when we were very young children, it can hurt.   Why is it so important? Because when we realize they also can fail, with the destruc...
