Day 4 - 30 Days of TV challenge.

Day 4 - My favourite TV show ever.

This is definitely the hardest one yet, because I tend to get really invested into one show, then move on. Or leave it a year or so then watch the entire thing all over again.
There's definitely a lot of shows that I was convinced were my favourite, but then had a shocking ending, Lost for example. Or shows that were insanely good, only to run on too long and become a chore to watch, like The Walking Dead, in my opinion anyway.

However, I think that Orange is the New Black might have to be my absolute favourite. The show just has the absolute best cast, and the most impactful storylines. It's so hard to find a show that's entertraining, funny and even as powerful as it is, especially when it impacts and involves so many different communities. I love how one show can literally make me laugh and cry within the same episode, and brings awareness to so many awful things that are happening right now!
I do feel like there is a lot that can be talked about, and I think I might rewatch all of the seasons soon so I can do a more indepth post on the whole thing, but I definitely do think it has to be my favourite.

Day 3 - 30 days of TV challenge.

Day 3 - Your favourite new show.

This is definitely a toss up between Mindhunter and The Haunting of Hill House, but given that Mindhunter has been out for quite a while now, and might not even be considered "new" anymore, it would have to be The Haunting of Hill House.
The Haunting of Hill House was so terrifying and gripping, I honestly wanted to watch it again straight after finishing the season. I still cannot get over how insanely well made it was! From the hidden ghosts, gripping storyline, and the cinematography.

Episode 6 HAS to be my favourite, mainly just from how it was shot. I felt like the episode was the longest one yet, until I realised that up until that point, it had all been filmed in one shot. I was amazed by the camera work and how smoothly everything transitioned. It did turn out that it wasn't entirely one long shot for the entire episode, but some takes were around 20 minutes long, and the editing was done so seamlessly it was hard to even tell if the shots had changed.

The spirits in this were so creatively terrifying as well. After binge watching the first 6 episodes one evening until 3am, we soon realised we were going to have to sleep with the light on. But if you're queasy, like I am, there really wasn't much, if anything, that made me cringe at all. It was so well made, that it was the tension and intensity of the acting that made it so scary.

I don't want to ramble on too much, as I do plan to do a whole other blog post about this show, but it definitely has to be my favourite new show right now.

Day 2 - 30 day TV show challenge.

Day 2 - A show you wish more people were watching.

I watch a crazy variety of TV shows, so I know there's a lot that many people would think aren't worth watching so this will be really hard.
It definitely depends on the genre, because I could easily say that not a lot of people I know watch The Vampire Diaries, and I think its great, but I know there's an insane amount of other people that do watch it, hence the spin offs. In terms of underappreciated shows though, I would say that The Good Place is a bit of a hidden gem.
The only reason I decided to watch The Good Place on Netflix is because my younger brother talked me into it, saying that it's nowhere near as cringey as the description on Netflix made it sound.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt and ended up watching the first season 3 times, and the second twice!
I honestly think it's hilarious, and it's really managed to keep going, despite at first I thought there could only be one season made out of the plot.
The third season is currently streaming weekly on Netflix, and although I might be a few weeks behind, it hasn't disappointed me yet.
I would definitely recommend it, because it really is so entertaining.

Day 1 - 30 Day TV show challenge.

Day 1 - A show that should never have been cancelled.

This is such a hard question for me, because honestly there's a lot of shows I started watching and gave up on when i found out they'd been cancelled, because I hate getting emotionally invested in a TV show just for it to be cancelled!
However, I think Arrested Development wins this one for me.
Ignoring the awful "revival" seasons made by Netflix, the original seasons done by Fox I really loved.
It was just one of those shows that's an easy watch, and really funny too, and even though it did get a revival, I'd still consider this a cancelled TV show.

30 days of TV challenge.

I have had this saved in my drafts for what seems like forever! So to help me get back into the swing of things I'm going to do the 30 days of television challenge (see below).
I'm going to do the first 7 days over the next couple of days to catch up, then do it day by day! As a running blog post a day throughout December.

I'm back!

So I've not posted for a very long time, but I've decided to get back into it. I've had an incredibly difficult year, and I now intend to focus on the more positive things, and I have always loved film, media and television, so I really want to get back into watching things in depth and reviewing or analysing them on here, and even just sharing my thoughts!

Lack of posts.

Sorry for the lack of posts after the lasts few months, been super busy with university but back on it now hopefully!
