Depp V Amber - the unbelievable before your eyes

The Depp V Amber trial was one of the latest (and biggest) worldwide scandals, and Netflix couldn't risk missing out. Hollywood star Johnny Depp took his ex-wife, Amber Heard, to court for defamation after she claimed to have been a victim of domestic violence.

I didn't follow the trial then, but I couldn't avoid hearing a couple of things. Everything I heard then sounded ridiculous, and I decided not to watch those videos.

Everything sounded slightly absurd, and as Johnny Depp's fan, I didn't want to believe he would do such things, but at the same time… who knows?

The Documentary

When I first saw that there was a documentary about all of it on Netflix, I didn't give it much importance. Everything was finished, and why explore that even more? So, I ignored it for a while.

Eventually, I got curious, so I hit the watch now button.

“Really?”

This was my most asked question while watching the whole thing. There was so much absurd stuff, all exposed like a giant circus everywhere. The entire situation was ridiculous. There were many crazy things, and sometimes, it made me speechless.

I'm not here to judge any of them again, but the documentary. I liked to watch it; it gave me a good understanding of what happened there. I read some critics who said it favors Amber's point of view. Honestly, I don't think it did.

Sure, Johnny did very condemnable things, but she did them too. She looked a little crazy and vindictive most of the time. She was caught lying or telling some half-truths more than once, and let's face it, it did not look good for her.

Was the trial fair?

The documentary's final moments were made to make us think about the whole situation. It wasn't especially enlightening or insightful. My conclusions were that they were terrible for each other, and there was a tremendous lack of respect in their relationship. It is a shame.

About the documentary itself? Depp V Amber is not worth your time.

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...
