While the mystery/fantasy aspects are per usual on the rocky side, the dynamics between all of the characters are just so well written and well acted, sometimes I can't believe it's a CW show. And every character gets plot lines where they get to shine, no one is sidelined. I love these writers.</div><div>Another show that really stuck with me was <b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Queen Charlotte</span></b>.

I get that it's because it's adapted from a comic series and that's the reason why, but it's kind of jarring when you're just jumping from arc to arc with no warning whatsoever. But all in all I think I'd watch a season 2.</div><div style="text-align: left;">I am most definitely watching season 2 if there is one for <b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lockwood & Co. </span></b>though. I don't know, something about this just really gripped me and I binged season 1 within 2 days. It's teeny and kind of cheesy as a result, but it just works and I think part of it is because it actually feels authentic. Maybe it's because the actors are actually not that old when compared to those of other teenie boppers such as Riverdale or, ahem, Teen Wolf, maybe it's just the acting itself, but it just worked.</div><div style="text-align: left;">Speaking of ... I finally endured <b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Teen Wolf: The Movie </span></b>as well. And it was as horrible as you'd expect, a literal dumpster fire of a movie. Why this is even a thing is beyond me, I truly don't understand how the hell you can do "a movie for the fans" and then literally do nothing fans actually wanted. Anyway, after losing a good chunk of my teenage years to this garbage truck I now genuinely want Jeff Davis to lower my casket into the ground so he can let me down one final time at the end of my life.</div><p></p>Alexahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02731873053583798892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740998014321545341.post-56106896946081027032023-02-01T14:32:00.002+01:002023-02-01T14:35:00.603+01:00January

I really hope that there's going to be a season two and if there is, PLEASE make Adrian part of the main cast. I didn't think he'd already make an appearance in season 1 and I was <i>really </i>hesitant if they would do him justice, but they absolutely NAILED his character. And then they only put him in a couple episodes and took him away for the final few eps which was so cruel of them. So it's really saying something that they still managed to hook me in with those episodes and managed to stick the landing with an explosive finale. Just, you know. Adrian as a main character next season, thank you bye.</div><p></p>Alexahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02731873053583798892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740998014321545341.post-47767505147156396772022-10-03T18:02:00.002+02:002022-10-03T18:02:16.658+02:00September Recap<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFWVs-beH3ZCnalZ6sJITqjAyWu7AyW_EXp0Fw_48_0rKzI1HM7-bkFwD69zlfzuLHGAmkTFJfXAf4oZlplB08elOF8-Vm_odZoRFHGENyrRV_LK7EtC40U7eIXL1pZ0Ksw-oCUxuykdBjnqPQy1IUaNgONdTYp61kleZtGgx9mNIvq16YhQC5U5_/s230/septemberecap.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="148" data-original-width="230" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgFWVs-beH3ZCnalZ6sJITqjAyWu7AyW_EXp0Fw_48_0rKzI1HM7-bkFwD69zlfzuLHGAmkTFJfXAf4oZlplB08elOF8-Vm_odZoRFHGENyrRV_LK7EtC40U7eIXL1pZ0Ksw-oCUxuykdBjnqPQy1IUaNgONdTYp61kleZtGgx9mNIvq16YhQC5U5_/s1600/septemberecap.png" width="230" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoI5zvPP_ZLZv8qRRLogt5sZkNm6LhYOb_mzhsn_zOOlqH2m3VIevYUlmktvbYauYuCAdaud_9LU9BYqbTXy3ZW53UgsI5xaOmAUMwyuljFxL78d5yGlu3FvZGfp-nLu0y0XRvipniaodIdOz_J6uKac1TKVZVF-_otxMXJ0NL3Do8xjBFH-kVbUvK/s407/ssdadasda.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="27" data-original-width="407" height="21" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoI5zvPP_ZLZv8qRRLogt5sZkNm6LhYOb_mzhsn_zOOlqH2m3VIevYUlmktvbYauYuCAdaud_9LU9BYqbTXy3ZW53UgsI5xaOmAUMwyuljFxL78d5yGlu3FvZGfp-nLu0y0XRvipniaodIdOz_J6uKac1TKVZVF-_otxMXJ0NL3Do8xjBFH-kVbUvK/s320/ssdadasda.png" width="320" /></a><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><br /><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">WHAT I READ</span></h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">• <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3982973113?book_show_action=false">Babel</a> by R.F.

Not gonna lie, it was kind of boring and the plots seemed all a bit haphazardly thrown around unfortunately. Charlotte's new love interest didn't impress me either, so much so that I'm left wondering if maybe they wouldn't have just been better off recasting Sidney and sticking to the original plot instead.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One show I really did not expect to like this much, however, is definitely <span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>House of the Dragon</b></span>. I was a huge sceptic going in and kind of felt like going back to a bad ex, but surprisingly, not only does the show manage to stand on its own apart from <span style="font-family: georgia;">GoT </span>but it's also super fun and engaging.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power</span></b> is not quite as engaging and convincing, but more so because it just takes so long to really get the ball rolling. It's still a nice Friday evening every week though.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Season 2 of <b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fate: The Winx Saga</span></b> was also unexpectedly ... okay. I'm not saying it's quality TV or anything, but if you're looking for a teenie bopper, you really can do worse. It's better than <span style="font-family: georgia;">Riverdale </span>I'd say, and also far better than season 1 was tbh. I am curious where they'd go from here, so I'm actually kind of really hoping for a s3 renewal.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And lastly, I started watching the new <b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Vampire Academy </span></b>adaptation. I love the casting, ngl (although really really wish they'd switch up Christian's wardrobe PLEASE) and it's definitely a lot better that they aged the characters up. I'm liking a lot of the changes as well, but I'm still a little bit apprehensive of where they're taking the plot. Also I don't want to get too attached because I am very unsure about a renewal, but we'll see. So far, with the way things are going, I'd definitely be back for a season 2 and am of course going to finish watching this first season, too.</div><p></p>Alexahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02731873053583798892noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4740998014321545341.post-72685421027516358462022-09-01T20:30:00.001+02:002022-09-01T20:32:34.381+02:00August Recap<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-EGlTUMCAy3YPVyuBC6UZQklA9cP-psKriuJ543q_RLUwi7m0WnnRCCJFq5Qohcx6CZQJb263XnUM8QfLt25JLrTFc_11bfWn5zvvlvcKqcQLdZAorwMsflWe3Ukx0sgOiKGUgza5R-GL7tAnT9NUGR5FcBVxpC33vb2DnSU5Jbm2sPxbemiZsu1/s230/augustrecap.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="148" data-original-width="230" height="148" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP-EGlTUMCAy3YPVyuBC6UZQklA9cP-psKriuJ543q_RLUwi7m0WnnRCCJFq5Qohcx6CZQJb263XnUM8QfLt25JLrTFc_11bfWn5zvvlvcKqcQLdZAorwMsflWe3Ukx0sgOiKGUgza5R-GL7tAnT9NUGR5FcBVxpC33vb2DnSU5Jbm2sPxbemiZsu1/s1600/augustrecap.png" width="230" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7oKd6MRewQ9OjAhP1zjzonryXwt2kI1m74ncQtSOpk3fQ0UoEyEuPDnzQ1dzyRNcupKMnWMRFKpOe3mUCCGopEYAi4wPvlNgr-6Al6FNFzkqVHKJUHA9kmeSyQ-LF8q_EaCTd1MO6AXa2aswUrGqRMBJ5CIKxzFoBI4v_mz2bMyNf_OU9GP6JxVv4/s407/ssdadasda.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="27" data-original-width="407" height="21" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7oKd6MRewQ9OjAhP1zjzonryXwt2kI1m74ncQtSOpk3fQ0UoEyEuPDnzQ1dzyRNcupKMnWMRFKpOe3mUCCGopEYAi4wPvlNgr-6Al6FNFzkqVHKJUHA9kmeSyQ-LF8q_EaCTd1MO6AXa2aswUrGqRMBJ5CIKxzFoBI4v_mz2bMyNf_OU9GP6JxVv4/s320/ssdadasda.png" width="320" /></a><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">WHAT I READ</span></h4>• <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3663527298?book_show_action=false">Violet Made of Thorns</a> (Violet Made of Thorns, #1) by Gina Chen</div><div style="text-align: left;">• <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4061486118">All My Rage</a> by Sabaa Tahir</div><div style="text-align: left;">• <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4948450186?book_show_action=false">The Stars Between Us</a> by Cristin Terrill</div><p style="text-align: left;">...
