Equinox - 3 major inconsistencies I can’t ignore

Equinox is a Danish horror show full of mystery and surprises.

A small town, secrets, rituals, supernatural creatures… everybody looks a bit insane at some point. Speaking of rituals, why do they need to be disgusting? I mean, that egg!

Inconsistencies

While I truly liked the show, there were a few inconsistencies that I can’t avoid.

The whole drama happens in the 90s. The class of 99 disappears, yet most references are from the 80s. Why? No clue.

Music

The kids are into punk music. Well, it is okay; you don’t always follow what is trendy, right? However, there is a scene in the music store where you can see a Queen poster on the wall (yes, the British rock band).

For fans like me, the photo on the poster has been around since the early 80s.

Technology

Again, the tech the kids used seems outdated. They are listening to music on cassettes. Yes, I remember doing it too, but it wasn’t the most common.

Besides, I have a different question: Why doesn't anyone have a phone? I got my first cell phone in 98, and I was one of the last kids in the class to get one. In the show, not even the adults have one. Weird.

Clothes

All the kids' clothes, the colors, the shapes remind me of the 80s.

In this case, maybe someone with better knowledge of fashion could offer a more accurate perspective. Yet, where are the awful bell pants we used to wear back then? The excessive eyeliner? The lip gloss?

One more teenage show

A group of teenagers follows a myth that proves to be real. The premise is not exactly new, but the show is engaging.

There are only 6 episodes that you’ll probably binge-watch. A good mystery show with a surprising end. I totally recommend it.

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...
