5 Shows You Should Be Watching!

-
Hey Guys x

I'm just gonna start this off by saying that I don't have 'Netflix', so I have no idea whether these shows are on it or not (as that's how most people watch stuff).

However, I have a great love of TV, and I get so invested in TV shows it's insane!

So I thought that I'd share 5 of my favourite shows that I think deserve a lot of attention!

Gossip Girl

There's no way that I couldn't talk about Gossip Girl. I finished it at the end of last year and miss it so much! I'd love them to do an extra season just to see how everyone's been doing! But it's about a group of teenagers who live on the Upper East Side. They're ruthless, sordid and scandalous, but there's someone watching their every move. Someone who knows everything. XOXO Gossip Girl.

Family Guy

I have been watching Family Guy for so long, and it's honestly one of those shows that does get better and better as it goes on. I'm a firm believer that not every show has to be politically correct, and this certainly isn't! It jokes with everything and anything and the jokes are actually really funny! It's about a dysfunctional family and their talking dog living in Quahog, Rhode Island. Watch it!

Younger

I spoke about this show a lot last year, but as the air date for the next season has just been announced, now is the perfect time to bring it up again! Younger is about a woman called Liza Miller who is a 40 year old divorced single mother. However, to get a job in publishing (after she's been out of the game for 15 years) she pretends to be 26. I'd go so far as to say that this is the best show on right now. There are so many amazing elements to it, it has so many strong female characters, it has strong male characters, amazing actors, incredible scripts and storylines, everything just works. Catch up on the first 4 seasons before season 5 starts!

Psych

This is one of my favourite TV shows in the entire world. It's about a guy called Shawn Spencer who pretends to be psychic to get out of trouble with the police. However, due to his upbringing with a cop dad, he's hyper observant and is actually able to solve crimes that the police department have trouble with. Along with his best friend Gus, he joins the police department as their resident psychic. The show is hilarious and the movie of it should be coming out soon, if it hasn't already. Watch a few episodes and try not to fall in love with this show!

The Orville

This show was made my Seth MacFarlane, who is also the creator of family guy. I started watching it, not only for him, but also because it's based on (or lives in the same world as) Star Trek. It's about a man who is given the chance to captain his own ship - only to discover that his First Officer is his ex wife. However, that's only a small part of the show. What makes the show is the rest of the team and the different things that happen on their various missions, not to mention cameos from Rob Lowe, Liam Neeson and Charlize Theron! A definite must see for any sci-fi and comedy fan!

What shows would you add to this list?

The Usual Suspects | 100 Movies Bucket List

  This is the second movie for the bucket list that I forgot to write a post for! I saw this back in May so my memory might be a bit rusty, but it was a re-watch so I'm pretty clear on the plot and how I feel about it. I liked this movie. I probably liked it the same amount this time that I did on my first watch. It's a great story, told in a really interesting way. And while I probably didn't find it completely interesting the whole way through, it was worth it to get to the twist. For me, a plot twist is such an underrated device. I love them so much I actively seek them out in both movies and books. A good plot twist can make an otherwise bad movie re-watch-worthy. There are a few twisty movies on the bucket list, and this one has one of the best twists. Even if you don't like the movie as a whole, the twist makes everything so much more interesting. Another thing the twist does is make you want to watch the film all over again. I saw it months ago now, and I really

Woman of the Hour | Film Review

  Amidst a series of murders in LA, aspiring actress Cheryl (Anna Kendrick) crosses paths with a serial killer (Daniel Zovatto) on a dating show. I was really excited to see this film as soon as I saw the trailer. Even in that short space of time it got across a tense, sinister atmosphere that made the film seem like a really interesting watch, especially being a true story. Thankfully I loved the film, and the atmosphere it created was part of the reason why. From the first scene we understand the tone and can already kind of guess how the rest of the film will feel. The tension was created expertly. There were multiple times while watching the film where I was holding my breath without realising, and this feeling didn't go away until the film was over. In the last 30 minutes particularly, I actually had to pause the film to remind myself to breathe because it was that intense. Those 30 minutes were so well written and crafted - I don't think I've even seen a full-on horro

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next on the list was 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. This isn't one I was particularly looking forward to.  I've never been a huge fan of Westerns, so watching what is probably the most famous Western for 2 and a half hours wasn't high on my to-do list.  But because of that, it was actually a much more intriguing watch than I thought it would be. It took me quite a while to really get into it, but once I got the plot and focused on it, I found the story was a great one. What made it great for me more than anything was the characters. I really enjoyed watching them interact. And as someone who had only seen Clint Eastwood in 'The Bridges of Madison County' and 'Million Dollar Baby' before this, I definitely gained a newfound respect for him as an actor. Whenever I think of Westerns, my mind instantly goes to 'Back to the Future 3', even though the actual movies aren't like this in any way. But this movie was the first to directly remind

Subservience | Film Review

While struggling with a sick wife and two children, Nick (Michele Morrone) hires an AI android called Alice (Megan Fox) to help out around the house. But when Alice becomes self-aware, Nick finds that he and his family are suddenly in danger. I've watched a few AI-based horror movies in the last month or so, so I was in the mood to give another one a shot. As I'd somewhat enjoyed the others, I thought I'd like this one too. Unfortunately, I didn't like this one much at all. For a start (and this is my fault as I've already mentioned seeing a few films with this concept recently) but the AI-gone-bad premise is no longer new. And when a film uses the concept but doesn't bring any new ideas, it starts feeling a bit stale. This one didn't really have anything new to add to that conversation, and so it didn't feel original. Having said that, I did like that it got right into the story straight away. We know the family, we know their circumstances, we know how

Brothers | Film Review

While attempting to go straight, former criminal Moke's (Josh Brolin) efforts are derailed when he is reunited with his twin brother Jady (Peter Dinklage), who convinces him to join a cross-country road-trip to retrieve the score of a lifetime. I remember seeing the trailer for this a few months ago and being surprised by the actors involved, because no one seemed to be anticipating its release at all. I wasn't particularly interested in the plot, but as a fan of a few of the actors in it, I wanted to see it. And after watching the film, I understand why no one was really talking about it. But let's start with the good things! The characters are great. Jady and Moke are fun characters to spend time with, and the actors had great chemistry. If nothing else in the film felt realistic, their brotherly banter worked. At the beginning, it was funnier than I expected it to be. This unfortunately didn't last and the film got less and less funny as it went on, but for a while t
