Read moreJohn Thornton’s look back at me in North and South is widely respected as a period drama moment and deserving of a breakdown. Set in the 1850s, BBC’s North and South series follows the story of Margaret Hale, whose family is uprooted from Helstone in the south to the northern industrial town of Milton. A vicar’s daughter used to the dull and prosperous life and society of the south, Margaret
Read moreBrooklyn Nine-Nine’s “Renewal” gave us stunning moments of adoration between Kevin and Holt that we’d been missing.
Read moreHan Solo’s acknowledgment in The Force Awakens can be interpreted in a myriad of ways. To start, Han has been a version of the audience in the world of Jedis and Siths and intergalactic creatures galore. Where his reservations have gained him the nonchalance reputation of an outcast, and the attitude of a scoundrel has often landed him in the outskirts, there is something to be said about the way
Read moreI have come to the conclusion that there is no way to actually put this scene into words. There is no way to properly do it justice. I have heard a lot of fair and valid criticism towards Avengers: Endgame, but I have not heard a single person say that they didn’t appreciate this scene to the fullest. At its core, this might just be the most hopeful scene in
Read moreThere are a lot of things Autumn de Wilde’s Emma gets right, and a few things that it doesn’t. (Namely, it’s length. As Austen’s longest book, if this film was a mini-series instead, goodness, it’d be sublime.) But where it continues to stand out apart from its stunning cinematography is the showcase of overwhelming emotions. In this adaptation, emotions are front and center—no one is shying away from them, and
Read moreDo you also think about the best meal ever aka the pizza scene from Netflix’s Set it Up on a daily basis or are you normal? I recently re-watched the movie, and I’m happy to report that it holds up just as well as it did when it first released. I’m also now once again utter garbage for the pizza scene. Sure sex is great, but have you ever eaten
Read moreBridgerton’s Portia Featherington falls into what I like to think of as the “Severus Snape League.” Is she someone that I like as a person? Not necessarily, at least not a great majority of the time. But is she someone whose depth and complexity makes her one hell of a character? Absolutely. Thanks to the Bridgerton show writers, and to how wonderfully Polly Walker plays her, she quickly became one
Read moreBrooklyn Nine-Nine at its core has always been about the friendships—you could spend pages just listing every incredible thing they’ve each done for each other, and the ways they’ve been there for one another. (And yes, someday I actually will.) But in “Show Me Going,” it’s not just about the lengths they’re willing to go forward each other, it’s about how they’re going to help themselves in the process too.
Read moreRaise your hand if you’re also taking a massive trip down memory lane with a One Tree Hill re-watch alongside the leading ladies while listening to Drama Queens podcast. I am, and so far, it’s everything I didn’t know I needed. In One Tree Hill’s second episode, “The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most,” Lucas Scott tells Peyton Sawyer that her art matters and even I didn’t realize
Read moreBrooklyn Nine-Nine always gets the Halloween Heist specials right, but in its third season, it’s when it really becomes something that’s cemented into the show’s spirit perfectly. And that’s the case because this is a series that not only takes their women seriously, but it lets them shine. Amy Santiago is such a strong, layered character that the hope is to never lose those parts of her when she finds
Read moreIt’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
Read moreThe showcase of warmth happens quite evidently between Nina and Matthias in Shadow and Bone’s “The Heart is An Arrow,” and it’s still my absolute favorite scene between the duo in the first season. No, I’m not talking about the physical sharing of body heat. I’m talking about the passing of armor, and the detail that it means so much more than just chivalry. We’ve shared a lot of words
Read more“Oceans Apart” is both my favorite and objectively, the strongest episode in Bridgerton’s first season. And apparently, writing 4,461 words wasn’t enough because I’m back to talk about it more. Anthony Bridgerton is a work in progress, and in this episode, so is Colin Bridgerton. All the Bridgerton family members are, if we’re being honest. However, this is a scene that acutely showcases growth, and it does so in a
