My top 5 best animated series for adults
Animated series for adults are the kind of productions that can tackle any subject without censorship: political, vulgar, philosophical, or existential. And while some are pure comedy, many conceal social commentary or profound messages.

Review of Miraculous: The Adventures of Ladybug and Cat noir
This is a 2015 series with seven seasons that has a very interesting plot. In short, two teenagers are chosen to be superheroes in Paris. The thing is, the girl likes the boy when he's not a superhero, and the boy likes the girl when he is. Honestly, it's a good and very entertaining story.

Bloodless movies are more disturbing
These days, there are so many movies that try to scare you with strong images, exaggerated effects, and gallons of blood. But, to be honest, many of those stories leave nothing behind. On the other hand, there are movies that show almost nothing and still manage to stay in your head. Those are the ones that truly disturb.

Strictly Come Dancing: Not What It Used to Be.. Content Warning.
I remember the good old days of Strictly Come Dancing when Bruce Forsyth used to introduce the show. Admittedly, Forsyth was not everyone's cup of tea, but he was a showman in the true sense of the word. If he could see the show today, he would be mortified and horrified, no doubt. Forysth was presenting the show well into his later years.

Il ritorno di Sandokan — The Return of Sandokan 1996
I feel that this series was unjustly treated. True, there are a few dissonances in the story compared to the original, but it is not at all bad — and it is refreshing to have a lady lead again. Mandala Tayde is delightful. The show brings back a certain charm that was lost in La tigre e ancora viva -Sandokan alla riscossa (1977). In English, the film was called The Tiger is alive, the second Sandokan movie— where, there was no love interest.

An Honest Review on "Mom"
I recently finished watching "Mom" for the second time, and if anything, I appreciated it even more on the rewatch. This show masterfully balances laugh-out-loud comedy with genuine emotional depth, making it one of those rare sitcoms that can make you cry and laugh within the same episode.

Why do horror films never win the Oscar for Best Picture?
For decades, horror films have been the "ugly duckling" of the Academy Awards. In the 1950s and 1960s, the Academy often viewed them as a cheap genre, lacking depth or artistic value. Curiously, despite the passage of time, that mentality hasn't changed much.

pride and prejudice
Pride and Prejudice (2005) is, personally, my favorite romance film. I know it may sound cliché, but the story of a young woman who finds herself embroiled in a romance with the proud Mr. Darcy—a well-known millionaire of the time—is completely captivating, even for those who aren't fans of the romance genre.
