YOU

YOU stars Gossip girls Penn Badgley. This show is creepy and suspenseful. Definitely binge-worthy. His role is similar to his character in gossip girl in the sense that he starts on the outside and uses the internet to worm his way in. But you could say it’s more dark and twisted and a bit more gender neutral than gossip girl.

Character Joe Goldberg – S1 E1

Basically, Penn plays Joe Goldberg, a guy who works in a bookshop. Joe seems to take a liking to a customer that comes in the shop: Becks. He then goes on to stalk this girl in any way possible. He’s a creep. There is no other way to describe him. Continue reading →

Sex Education

Sex Education(2019).

Sex Education Title

It’s funny and definitely worth the watch. Obviously, it’s a comedy, but that being said it is somewhat educational and dramatic. It doesn’t teach you about intercourse or what to do when you’re having it but it takes a different perspective and studies the stigma around sex, the psychological parts. What your feeling and why. Not so much you but the characters, each has a different situation. It’s funny because it’s mostly awkward situations revolving around sex.

Awkward Encounter

“Where’s the cum Adam?”

“Ultimately, Sex Education is much less interested in the mechanics of sex than in what encourages real intimacy. This doesn’t mean that the show isn’t chock full of lewd masturbation jokes and scandalous drawings” – The Guardian(2019)

A high school boy, Otis played by Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game), mother is a sex therapist, Dr Jean Millburn played by Gillian Anderson(The X-Files), and as if that isn’t embarrassing enough for him, when he goes to her with his sexual problem, let’s just say she doesn’t exactly treat him with client confidentiality.

I would suggest this series being for 15/16 and above considering that it’s illegal to have sexual contact with anyone under the age of 16  but on the other hand, curiosity can strike in your teens. It has been given an 8.6/10 rating off IMDb which, for a comedy, is quite high.

It ends in a cliff hanger as usual, but the season finale wasn’t much of a big finale. To be honest, I was disappointed with the ending, I’m not going to spoil it but I had to double check there were no more episodes because it felt like it just stopped in the middle of the series. But on the other hand, that means bring on Season 2!!

Black Mirror Bandersnatch

Black Mirror’s movie Bandersnatch is here and its film like you’ve never seen it before. It’s interactive. We have been able to have interaction with stories through books, computers, apps, tablets, games so now it’s coming to film. It’s revolutionary. But will it stick?

Black Mirror have created what seems to be an AI film due to the part when Stefan enters a state of consciousness where he begin to understand that you as an interactive viewer are controlling them. It also creates the illusion that we ourselves get to choose the ending when in fact we don’t because it keeps going and every path will redirect you to the one the producers have decided.

The Truth of Realisation

It gives you choices such as what cereal to have, Frosties or sugar puffs and then more severe ones which pave the way for the path you choose such as to work alone or not. Or maybe even commit murder? Whatever you fancy.

bandersssI would suggest watching this when you have time to kill because it can take a while, depending on what you choose is how long your path may be. I don’t want to give anything away and your path could be different from mine but from what I’ve gathered your always redirected back to the “right” storyline. It’s like a game! So play this movie and enjoy the next evolution of film right in your home, brought to you by Netflix Original Interactive Productions.

Haunted

Haunted is another Netflix original production. This series is apparently based on true stories but has been dramatized for production. To define it I would say its a horror documentary. There are only six episodes and each one has a different story, so it doesn’t matter if you watch them in order or not, they’re unlinked. The episodes are also only about half an hour long so its good for a quick watch. I wouldn’t recommend letting your child watch this as it is slightly disturbing and it is rated 15.

The Package

It’s so hard to find a good comedy these days, but having said that the best one I’ve watched in a long time has to be the Package! This is the best comedy in 2018. I’ve watched it 12 times now and I would still laugh if I watched it again. It’s also my first recommendation in the movie category. The movie is a Netflix Original production and didn’t get much notice before it came out, but it should have gotten way more. I would say it’s not for kids. Do not let your child watch this, the movie itself could be classed as inappropriate but if you find inappropriate things funny then this is the comedy for you.
