Adolescent angst and feelings take centre stage in this show, which is perfect if you enjoy typical high school teen dramas. Your heartstrings will be pulled by the series' poignant depiction of love. The series is unique because of its sharp lines, which strike a deep chord with us. Amazon Prime’s most recent release Maxton Hall embodies the romantic dramatism of the pro-capitalist enemies of lovers James and Ruby, giving us a breathtaking onscreen presence yet the predictability of the plot and the fine crevices of incompleteness in the evolution of the subplots hampers it from being a massive feature of swoonworhty foes to romantic partners.

Friz Freleng's Strange Case of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"
I'm a huge, and I mean huge fan and enthusiast of the Looney Tunes cartoons. I've watched the shorts religiously for close to 35 years, I have the various DVDs--hell, I've even created some DVDs. There was always something magical about the Looney Tunes. Whether it's the wackiness, the dialogue, the storylines, or Mel Blanc's iconic voicework, one thing's for sure: there's nothing like the Looney Tunes.

I enjoyed the course tremendously, watched the films I never saw before and had a chance to participate in insightful discussions with eager and engaged students.
