HBO’s hit Insecure is still getting slept on, even after two brilliant seasons.

Chapter 1 “Cryptic Visions” My head is spinning. I knew that it would be an adventure to come to this island, but I never could have imagined all of what has been happening since I got here. Something strange happened again tonight. I saw him again. I don’t know why it happens or what…
Anyone who watched Mad Men will be happy with this brilliant casting choice. Kiernan Shipka is a phenomenal actress who definitely has the chops to play the iconic teenage witch.

Many people are giving the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi, a lot of flack. However, I personally think it was one of the best ones yet, save for a couple of elements, such as an unnecessary plot line (but more on that later). Fans Are Annoyed By That Unnecessary Adventure Many original trilogy Star Wars fans aren’t too…
Black Mirror has never been known for its upbeat storylines, but season 4 takes the cake. The Netflix series is known for showing the terrible “what ifs” that could happen and taking a deeper look into the human conscience. Season 4 shows no mercy.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is back with its fifth season and this seems to be another great one, which is more than I can say for its sister series Inhumans. If the new adventures have you wanting more, here are some comics you should read next. S.H.I.E.L.D. by Mark Waid In 2014, Marvel launched a new series…
Netflix’s new show, She’s Gotta Have It, hit the streaming site on November 23, but the name may seem familiar. The show is a remake/new take on Lee’s film that came out in 1986. The new show follows the same premise of the film: Nola is in a relationship with three very different type of men,…
