You - The Creepiest Guy (Season 1 Review)


You - Season 1


This is a story that might make you feel weird, since right from the very beginning, even if you don’t have any idea what this show is about. 

Joe (Penn Badgley), the protagonist, is this creepy guy who can send shivers down your spine. Severely mentally disturbed, he might actually make you feel sick.

The Scary "Normality"


The guy is absolutely disturbing, and his “incredibly normal” appearance can make the most impressionable minds question some of the people they know. 

From the very first episode, it’s impressive to see how far he can go and how easily unimaginable things take place. 

Impressive Character


The character is deep, his story involving, and he really acts like he’s some kind of victim of circumstances, making you wonder how such a thing is possible or whether the girl (Elizabeth Lail) is just blind to it all. 

You’ll soon realize she’s just oblivious to the escalating situation and figure out that he is just so perfect in his psychopathic roleplay that everyone would fall in his web of traps, lies, and deceit.

A Show to Keep Watching


Despite the fact that the end was slightly expected, I’m eagerly waiting for the second season, which, according to some news, will be produced by Netflix. 

I truly loved this show, and I bet you will too.

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...

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...

Breaking Bad: When Desperation Redefines Morality

  Breaking Bad is often praised as one of the greatest television series ever made—and I definitely agree. Beneath its gripping plot and intense character arcs lies a deeply unsettling exploration of morality, identity, and the human capacity for self-justification. At its core, the show asks a haunting question: what happens when an ordinary person is pushed past their limits—and keeps going? Walter White: From Victim to Architect of Chaos Walter White (Bryan Cranston) begins as a man we instinctively sympathize with—a struggling high school chemistry teacher facing a terminal illness. His initial decision to cook methamphetamine is framed as an act of desperation, even sacrifice. He wants to provide for his family after his death. But that justification doesn’t hold for long. As the series progresses, Walter’s transformation becomes less about survival and more about control, pride, and power. The tragedy is not just that he becomes a criminal, but that he chooses to contin...
