Stranger Things 3 - Let’s talk about those episodes’ length.

This new season of Stranger Things started strong and is better than the previous one from the very first minute. Now, let’s pause to evaluate how huge those episodes are.

All episodes are more than one hour long, and the last one is more than 2 hours! That’s not a show. That’s a movie franchise!

They don’t ruin the show by doing this or anything, but it can make it a bit more tiring.

Usually, there is a reason for you to see a show instead of a whole movie, right? So why not have more episodes but shorter ones?

Vecna - was all worth it?

Everything is connected, not only the hive mind of Vecna and its “things”. Everything was connected or depending on each other in this season.

The Russians were fighting or, at least, using the same things that were attacking Hawkins. It may look absurd initially, but everything starts to make sense soon enough.

The character Yuri made me laugh a few times. He is a bastard, I know, but let’s face it, his craziness gave a light touch to a show full of strong emotions.

Eddie was another character I liked a lot, but his death felt so unfair! And, of course, let’s not even talk about Max.

In the end, those scenes of peace and reconstruction were just to distract us. Do you think things are getting good now? Think again. It’s slightly disappointing, really. After all that work, fights, and deaths… Is Vecna still winning?

Getting better

I loved the first season of this show. But the second one disappointed me, and I wasn’t very inclined to give it a second chance. I’m glad I gave it, though.

Despite its episodes’ size, this season was more interesting and funny. And more importantly, it gave us the answers we had wanted for a long time.

Review: Billie Eilish: Unfiltered – A Shallow, Soulless Recap Pretending to Be a Documentary

Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5) If you're expecting Billie Eilish: Unfiltered to offer an intimate look into the life, artistry, or creative process of one of Gen Z’s most influential pop icons, prepare to be disappointed. This so-called documentary barely scratches the surface, delivering little more than a dry, lifeless rundown of Billie Eilish 's discography, awards, and chart performances. At best, it's a glorified Wikipedia entry with background music. At worst, it’s a wasted hour of potential. Unfiltered? The documentary lacks narrative depth, personal insight, or any meaningful exploration of who Billie Eilish is beyond her resume. Rather than providing behind-the-scenes footage, raw interviews, or critical commentary, Unfiltered relies on a monotonous narrator reeling off her achievements like items on a grocery list. There are occasional quotes from Billie herself, but they’re so brief and context-free they feel like filler material. For a documentary claiming to be “u...

Raising Voices - Why Alma's Mom Had the Right Reaction

In Netflix’s Raising Voices , there's a raw, emotionally charged moment when Alma confesses to her mom that something happened the night she disappeared — she was drunk, she had sex, and something didn’t feel right. It’s the kind of moment that many parents dread. But Alma’s mom handled it in a way that deserves attention. She didn’t panic. She didn’t judge. She didn’t lose control. Instead, she met her daughter halfway, which made all the difference. What Happened in the Scene? When Alma opened up to her mom, she wasn’t just confessing — she was testing the waters for safety. Could she trust her mom with the truth? Would she still be loved after saying something shameful, scary, or confusing? Her mom’s response wasn’t perfect — but it was real. She was concerned, but didn’t explode. She asked questions. She listened. She let the moment breathe. Why That Reaction Matters Technically, what Alma described can be considered sexual assault , given her level of intoxication. Bu...
