Let me first start off by saying, because my boyfriend is gonna feel some type of way if I don't, that I was not immediately sold on this show from the first three episodes. The beginning formula felt wrong. Like, yeah, it was a cute show and it had a POC cast that I'm always happy to see. But it was just a little odd at first because it has this weird Nickelodeon/Degrassi vibe. Like, it's too adult to be on regular television but it felt like Dan Schnieder from Nickelodeon had produced it. (Which he doesn't need to do anything involving children ever again.) Luckily, Dan's hands are nowhere near this project, but Eddie Gonzales and his team are heading this one up. Eventually, once we got past these episodes, the tone of the show began to shift and finally settle into a more mature script that allowed me to continue watching.

'When We First Met'—Review (Netflix)
Is there a person that one is supposed to meet? Most of us have, at some time, been besotted with or liked the wrong person. That is life. Still, there is a train of thought that says we are destined to meet certain people and certain people are destined to be together.

'The Perfect Date'—Review (Netflix)
Maybe I’m getting softer as I age. Films seem to have more of an emotional impact on me as of late. Not that I was some soulless, hard-hearted, individual before, but I definitely do get much more of the feels when watching a film these days.

'Bonding' - A Review (Netflix)
Sometimes my mouth—or fingers in this case—go before my brain. Let me explain. I have a history of watching the first episode of a series and then leaving it. I’ve done it with GOT, The Wire, 24, Ozark, all critically acclaimed shows that I have seen opening episodes of but never returned to.

'Next Gen' Movie Review
In a (not quite so) futuristic society, robots are involved in every facet of life. From being toothbrushes with aggressive parental settings to cups of noodles that dance when they are hot and ready to be eaten—they even dispose of themselves in the garbage! Despite all this luxury and convenience, the viewer often feels something is missing, and Mai shows us that things aren't really as good as many believe.

'Unicorn Store' - A Review (Netflix)
If you are a fan of the MCU (like me), and watch a lot of the press and promotional stuff online, in the run-up to an upcoming release, you may have noticed an unlikely friendship develop between a couple of the MCU's biggest stars.

'Le Jeu' ('Nothing to Hide') - Review
Nothing to Hide or Le Jeu, to give it its French title, is a film about seven adult friends, three couples, and one man whose partner cannot attend, who meet up for a dinner party. The film explores the dynamics not only between the friends but also that of each couple and individual.
