Best of Netflix
Whether you're binge watching or Netflix and Chilling, hats off to the digital streaming behemoth that never ceases to entertain.
'Star Trek' With Swearing
First thing I have to say: “Charlie Brooker, you let us down! Where was our 2017 wipe?" To get why “USS Callister” was so good (and why Black Mirror goes further to the edge than any TV show in recent years) you have to understand who Charlie Brooker is. He’s not a writer, nor is he a comedian. He’s a commentator. He reviews TV programmes. He makes rude and well observed comments about our world. He has a turn of phrase which swings between cringe-worthy violence and the surreal. For example:

'What Should I Watch Now?!': First Edition
We've all been there: the show hole takes us into the darkest part of our brains and we think about all of the wrong that we've ever done in life and what the future holds and if the spider we killed was going back to its family before we squashed it.

Imperial Dreams and Getting Lost in the Netflix Shuffle
Netflix, the DVD service turned streaming giant, has evolved and changed with the times. The company has stepped beyond its humble beginnings to become a significant player in the entertainment world. A huge part of the success of Netflix is the continued development of original content. From House of Cards to the Marvel series, Netflix has carved out a measure of success that rivals and, in some ways, surpasses the traditional cable channels. The company has become so large that it has entered the cultural lexicon via the famous phrase “Netflix and chill.” Recently, an opportunity to get some extended quality “Netflix and chill” time presented itself, and I gladly obliged.

Is the World Ready for More 'Monkey' Magic?
In 1979, Monkey (known as 'Monkey Magic' to many fans), a much-loved Japanese adaptation of the 16th century Chinese novel Journey To The West, premiered to Western audiences. The series quickly became a hit, and remains a cult classic. A number of remakes and reboots and twists on the story have been attempted over the years, but none have quite matched the success of the original—except for maybe the Dragon Ball anime franchise, which itself began as a loose adaptation of Journey To The West.

'The End of the F***ing World'
WARNING!: SPOILERS FOR THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD AHEAD!" When it's really cold out, I tend to never leave my house. When I never leave my house, I get bored pretty quickly. So, while browsing on my phone for a bit, I found an advertisement for a show on Netflix called The End of the F***ing World. No joke, that's actually the title. I was pretty intrigued, mostly because the advertisements looked pretty funny.
