Polin Week, Day Six: Favorite Show Scene
It’s no secret every Polin (Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington of Netflix’s Bridgerton) fan loves their dancing scene (at 1:12) in season one’s “Diamond of the First Water.” There are a lot of reasons to love it! But my reason for loving it might be a little different than most, and for Polin Week, I wanted to share my love of this scene with this community. First, we have the

Lucifer’s Dan Espinoza and Finding Possibilities for Self-Improvement Even in the Unlikeliest of Circumstances
*Spoilers for Lucifer Season 5B ahead* One of the things I’ve always liked best about Lucifer is how openly it’s shown the benefits of therapy and the necessity of tackling our trauma. Every character on the show deserves an ode to the hard work they’ve done during their self-improvement journey over the course of the series, but it’s Dan Espinoza who has always been the most fascinating to me in

Shadow and Bone 1×08 “No Mourners” Review
“No Mourners” concludes Shadow and Bone’s first season almost as we’d expect it, a little rushed in its climax, but it gives us incredible moments of character development, so you’ll hear no complaints from me. Choice is a predominant, ongoing theme throughout the course of this season, and the finale reiterates its importance with reflection and moments full of loud whispers. It sets up the oncoming arcs for our favorite characters with

Shadow and Bone 1×07 “The Unsea” Review
As far as season penultimate episodes go, “The Unsea” is easily on my list of favorites. It isn’t flawless by any means, but it’s a magical showcase of vulnerability while focusing on the importance of freedom. It’s the episode that sets almost every dynamic up remarkably while still leaving a lot of room to dissect the grey areas that play into the complexities of these characters. There’s never inherently good

Shadow and Bone 1×06 “The Heart is an Arrow” Review
“The Heart is an Arrow” and humanity is so often complex in the same way that it is striking. Shadow and Bone’s sixth episode gives us reunions and answers—it leaves us with questions and a lot of moments of exceptional character development. The show is great in the beginning, but really, the last four episodes are where it sets sail and does so gorgeously even in the wreckage. While the previous episode

Shadow and Bone 1×05 “Show Me Who You Are” Review
“Show Me Who You Are” is one explosive, nuanced title for the amount of stuff that erupts in this episode and just how much we start to see through these characters along with their relationships. And it showed viewers exactly who these people are without telling us too much. (Which is a first for this show that previously featured a lot more telling with some characters.) The Winter Fete is

Shadow and Bone 1×03 “The Making at the Heart of the World” Review
What is the heart of the world in this universe? What “making” are we talking about? The Fold? Heartrenders? The chemistry between everyone on this show? I don’t know, I never actually figured it out but regardless, I’m here for it. “The Making at the Heart of the World” kicks off with Alina dreaming of a stag (the stag) and when she’s awakened, she’s bombarded with the Little Palace staff,

Shadow and Bone 1×02 “We’re All Someone’s Monster” Review
“We’re All Someone’s Monster” opens up with a flashback to Mal and Alina’s Grisha test indicating that they ran and hid because Alina didn’t want to be separated from him in case she was Grisha, and that’s just precious. We’ll keep saying this, but this friendship is a beautiful thing and so damn pure, it’s a solid way to start the episode and paralleling it with General Kirigan’s (Ben Barnes)
