From time to time, I do find a TV series or a mini-series that sparks my interest. And if I’m lucky enough, I want to talk about it. One of the latest additions to the Netflix catalogue is the mini-series Bodies. The premise is straight up my cup of tea. Four crimes. Four time periods. Same body. It’s time travel story time, y’all! I love time travel stories, but I’m very specific about how I like time travel to work. I even have a post all about that. And Bodies left the story in the perfect place to be exactly what I wanted. While the end of the story is wrapped up, it still leaves room for the time travel plot to fit into my plot. And I was so incredibly happy and excited to have a story that hit the right spot, and now I can gush all about …

I was never planning on writing this review. I wasn’t even planning on watching the TV adaptation. Yet out of boredom, I clicked on the first episode. And then I watched one more. And another. And another. I already read and reviewed One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus, and while it’s a book that failed my expectation, I liked it. I was looking for a YA murder mystery, instead, I got a YA drama. Which was still fun. Luckily, the TV series was equal parts drama and mystery. The adaptation started faithful to the book. The characters are easy to like, and you want everything to work out in the end. Being familiar with the story made it easy to keep going. Although not much encouragement was needed because of how each episode is structured. Each one is a step closed to the truth, so I wanted to …

I know I’m late to the party, but… Good Omens… Oh my… Good Omens. Is. Such. A. Good. Show! I know everyone already say this, but I never truly believed it until I saw it for myself. So if this post finds its way to probably the only person that hasn’t seen it yet, then my job here is done! Lately, I’ve been reviewing a lot of books here on the blog because it’s the type of content I consume the most. But, when I’m not reading or re-watching a series for the 1000th time, I’ll watch something new. And sometimes, I struck gold! And Good Omens is better than gold, so diamonds? – I don’t care much for precious stones or metals. So, Good Omens is better than… an Oreo cupcake with raspberry filling. Yes, that’s the one! The story starts with Crowley, a demon, and Aziraphale, an angel, …

Okay, so let’s talk about The 100! *crack knuckles* Finally, I can pour my heart out! I’ve wanted to write this review since Season 4. Sooooo… 2017? That seems like a lifetime ago. Anyway, every time I started to write it, I procrastinated for so long that a new season started. And it didn’t make sense to not include the season that was airing. So, the cycle started all over again. But then, I realized that my blog is cursed. Every TV series I reviewed that was ongoing, shortly after, got cancelled – except 13 Reasons Why, that b*tch took a long time to die. So, I decided that it was better to postpone the review until the series end. And it didn’t take too long for season 7 to be announced as the final season. My initial plan was to review season by season. Something short, highlighting what I …

While I’m sitting here biting my nails, hoping that Humans doesn’t get cancelled for some dumb reason, I thought it’s finally time to shine some light on this amazing TV series produced in the UK instead of the US. I know! CHOCKING! Something great that doesn’t come from Hollywood. It actually happens very often if we give a chance to. The first time it aired (in 2015), it really sparked my curiosity. Although at the time, it wasn’t yet being broadcasted in Portugal, so if I wanted to watch it, I would have to go off track, and most of the times I wouldn’t bother. Therefore, I let it pass. At the beginning of last year, as I was zapping to find something interesting to see, I recognise someone, it was Mia (Gemma Chan). From that day on, I religiously watched every single episode every single week (actually I missed …

To tell you the truth, I wasn’t planning on writing this post. Thirteen Reasons Why isn’t one of my favourite show by far. I think the series started nicely, but towards the end, it got less impressive. Yet, I was interested in watching the second season to see what was going to happen next. I binge watched it in two days (from Friday afternoon to Saturday night), and I wish I hadn’t seen the last episode. I don’t feel this new season is a waste of time since it’s very entertaining and full of drama. Although, it’s not a good source of awareness and a proper portrait of mental health issues.

Last year, I started writing a post reviewing The Shannara Chronicles, although I came to the realization that I didn’t have anything positive or exciting that was worth doing a review of. At some point, I was bored and even mad while writing so I ended up scrap it. Although this time the show took a 180º degree change for better and I think is time to bring back my thoughts on season 1 comparing with season 2. Update (8th March 2018): Unfortunately, until further notice, The Shannara Chronicles won’t have a third season. Spike Tv has cancelled any possibility of broadcasting another season, although the producer of the series is currently trying to get along with other networks that would want to. It’s nice to know they haven’t given up on the series and are trying everything to deliver a season 3 to the fans. The story starts with …
