It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
A dark and hilarious satire
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.

Serial: A Cultural Phenomenon
The very first “water-cooler” podcast, Serial single-handedly launched both the true crime and podcasting crazes. We the listener were right there with expert storyteller Koenig on her rollercoaster quest to unravel a murder mystery. Was he really guilty? Or were we about to bust open a miscarriage of justice together?

Diaries to Nietzsche
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Taking a Different Approach on Valentine's Day
U.S. consumers are projected to spend nearly $28 billion on Valentine's Day this year, with $6 billion of it would be spent on jewelry. For yours truly, I've always had a huge disdain over this day, mainly because of it being too commercialized and also shames single people not being in relationships. Normally, I wouldn't disclose details about my romantic life, but I'll share some things about the last Valentine's Day I celebrated. It was Valentine's Day 2019 and received a package from my now ex-fiancé. I'll explain the ex-fiancé part in a bit. I received some roses, chocolates, and some underwear. In June of that year, he and I were engaged. Our wedding date was set for March of 2020. I was in love with him and eager to live the rest of my life with him and also take his last name. During Pride Month, he came from Wisconsin to Arkansas to attend the Pride Parade, after months of him talking to me via text. Unfortunately, at the end of October, we mutually decided to split up. It wasn't because of unfaithfulness or arguments. It was due to circumstances that made it impossible for us to be together. Don't get me wrong. We loved each other so much. The dagger that stung inside my heart was my now ex-roommate married my ex-fiancée. I'm a believer that you shouldn't date someone else's ex, because there's a good chance that it won't go well. My ex-roommate didn't respect my boundaries, and I wasn't pleased with that. I was betrayed by my ex-roommate, and I've always had suspicions that he had been lusting for the man I was with once he arrived in Arkansas for the aforementioned visit. It took me a year and a half to get over the end of my relationship, but I've since stopped speaking to my ex-roommate and I'm still good friends with my ex. He's always expressed how much he still loved me and wished we were still together. We talk every now and then, but we never stopped caring for each other. Alas, I had to move on with my life. At the time we first started talking, he was over 20 years older than me, which I had no problem with. I've always been attracted to older men, as opposed to someone my age.

from death into life
Young Aldin of Wiloh had never contemplated death. It was almost strange — so many around him had the tendency to obsess over it, to clamor and claw almost desperately at their own perceptions of the end to know death as much as they could: when it would come, why it would come, where it would take them when it did.

Excellent show and review. I binged this one year and stepped away feeling like a new person. It’s so addictive. Congrats on your top story.
Great critique. Congrats.
"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" is a refreshingly irreverent and unabashedly audacious comedy series that has carved a unique niche in the world of television. With its unapologetically outrageous humor and boundary-pushing storylines, the show stands as a comedic tour de force that has captivated audiences for years.
Oooh, great work on this. It has the right voice for a classic review; hard to achieve in 50 words but you did! I haven't seen most of the episodes, but I have experienced enough to know the vibe and the characters. Best satire I've seen, hands down. Very well done! I might have to start watching it again.
Dr Mantis toboggan gives his seal of approval for this show, it's good for your health!
Plus Danny DeVito! Love the show. Spot on review! Well done!
A show for writers to watch if they want to be taught dialogue and pacing! great review :)
