Serial Killer Suspect Bruce McArthur, Disposable Man Syndrome, and 'The Kids in the Hall'
Serial killers can be likened to viruses. Whenever they are discovered, they're evidence of something gone wrong. They symbolize a society on the fritz, so to speak They've also always been here, probably always will be, and they are ever-evolving. However, it might also be a misconception to call them "viruses," "monsters," or even "evil." The most startling thing about serial killers is that they are actually human. When we exaggeratedly try to separate ourselves from them, we're sort of kidding ourselves.

'Orange Is the New Black' Is the Harsh Reality Check We All Needed
The latest season of the popular Netflix series Orange is the New Black (OitNB) dropped on Friday and if you’re anything like me you’ve already binged the entirety of it. The Netflix show is famous for opening up discussions on a number of taboos and is the only mainstream series where you will find mixed race couples with no white people, black and Latinx actors having complex storylines, a female-dominated cast, and lesbian sex in pretty much every episode. But the series has come a long way since the infamous screwdriver incident and every season the writers offer an increasingly nuanced political conversation through the stories of the inmates and prison owners, MCC.

'Power' Season 5
The most recent addition to 50 Cent and Starz's Power is season five, which will see episodes released weekly, with episodes one and two being the only two which are currently available. Power is available on Netflix and is an exceptional series, with excellent acting and a story which takes the viewer through various emotions depending on which character is being followed. This article will be a somewhat review but will be taking focus on the main emotion I think drives the show's story, and of course, will include NO SPOILERS.

Dexter Is a Moral Man
Intro Have you ever wanted to kill someone? Fantasized about it? Dexter Morgan, played by Michael C. Hall on James Manos’ hit TV series Dexter, has not only felt that urge, but has followed through on it many, many times. Dexter Morgan is a mild-mannered blood spatter analyst at Miami Metro’s Homicide Division during regular business hours, but in his off hours, he is a manipulative serial killer of serial killers. The TV show Dexter was based on a book series of the same name by Jeff Lindsay written in 2004, with its final installment released in July, 2015.

From the beginning until season 9 here are the top 10 most memorable episodes, not in any specific order, (excluding the episodes with anything to do with a member of the BAU team, as those episodes deserve their own list, which will come shortly).

'Wentworth' Over 'Orange Is the New Black'
As an easily entertained American female, I will binge anything on Netflix that catches my interest, and I'm not immune to the allure of a good drama. I loved OITNB the second it started and the cast was phenomenal. I waited a year in between each season and binged the newest season in a day just because I loved it. I have no issues with the first few seasons, but then I saw a few episodes of Wentworth; it was just too nice and easy to digest compared to Wentworth. Each bit of drama and plot leading on felt just too typical and unreal in the typical Hollywood fashion in Orange Is the New Black. Even most of the appearances in the show are too pretty for prison. I would bet that 90 percent of women in prisons in the US do not care about their appearances as much as this show would make you believe.
