Fiction
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Top Story - August 2023.
Sunny name: dark show. This searing societal satire hilariously skewers issues big and small, from gun control and abortion rights to misunderstanding emojis and being shushed. Huge egos, short tempers, and hysterical situations make it an excellent sitcom; sharp, snappy writing and finger-on-the-pulse humour make it the longest-running in history.

The End Is The Beginning
Mitch Albom’s imaginary tale of the afterlife, The Five People You Meet In Heaven, illuminates five lessons, bringing new meaning to living, dying, and purpose. The plot craftily zigzags between present and past. A true psychological suspense that leaves you wanting more of his stellar dialogue and less overwrought description.

Only Murders in the Building. Runner-Up in Critique Challenge.
A show that seems more niche than it actually is, OMITB centers on true crime obsessives who become three unlikely amigos and start a podcast to solve a string of murders in their posh Manhattan building. Darkly hilarious and emotionally evocative with a brilliant cast, this series is a must-see.

War & Peace
The Russian word "mir" (peace) has another meaning - "world, society." While translating the novel's title as "War and Peace" is logical for juxtopposition, Tolstoy's main goal was to show how war affects the world. It is Natasha's love and life story in the context of war, peace, and society.

Kokushinsan: Shadow of the Mountain Prologue - Childhood
Below the sharp, snow-covered peaks, an ocean of golden barely bent and ripples traveled among the fields. A dusty veil helped make those labyrinths of rock, ice, and snow seem a distant world. Up in the thin air of the Himalayan mountains, work was tedious and the yield was difficult, but at times like these, it was a better life, even in the shadow of Kokushinsan.
