Maid - There are many types of violence

How do you start over when everything is against you?

Alex has an alcoholic husband who tends to become violent and has no help from anyone. Not even her mom and dad. So, she sees herself completely alone.

Yet, she is a brave woman. She takes the most challenging decision for any domestic abuse victim: she leaves. She picks her daughter and leaves home. Yet, now, she has no job, no house, and no money. She left with only 18 dollars in her pocket.

You may cry

The bravest of decisions has the most difficult of consequences. It always does, right? That’s why she is so brave. But, as a viewer, it breaks your heart to watch some of the scenes.

At the beginning of the story, Alex doesn’t understand that she is a victim. He never actually hit her. With time and the right help, she comprehends what happened to her, but it doesn’t matter. Not for court, not even for her family. She has no bruises after all. How do you prove psychological abuse? Her partner says he loves her. He seems so sweet in front of everyone else.

This is what hurts the most watching the show. It is not fiction, and it is not just for the show. It is the reality of many victims, especially women. Society, most of the time even their family and friends, believe that they exaggerate. They are being overemotional. How many people need to suffer until society realizes how damaging this behavior is?

Courage and growth

Despite all problems, Alex is a fighter, a true warrior. She has dreams and wishes, and she is tired of seeing them taken away.

It is courage that frees her, but the most beautiful thing to watch throughout the show is her growth. Every step of the way, she learns something, and knowledge is what makes us strong. She finds friends, and she helps others, despite her pain. She realizes that even those who seem to have it all suffer in life.

I think it is a fascinating journey for Alex.

Education and Hope

Education and hope were the first words that came to my mind when I ended the show. This show is very educative and, at the same time, so full of feelings and emotions.

It is very informative about how different kinds of abuse one may face and how damaging they all are. But, most importantly, it talks about how difficult it is to break the cycle.

Yet, in the end, it is about more than that. It is about being brave. It is about fighting for your dreams. It is about the possibility of victory, even under the hardest circumstances. It’s about hope and offers us a beautiful happy ending.

It is a great show, and you should watch it. Totally worth it.

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...
