Binge-worthy Successors to The Vampire Diaries
Coming out of the shadows, Vampire Diaries started in 2009, and fans adored it. Blood, lust, sex, violence, and tons of high-voltage drama, delivering everything you might want in a supernatural series. When it ended in 2017, the devastation that hit was real. Many of my friends were super fans, and I don't think they ever got over the show.

An app for that
These days there is an app for everything, banking, shopping, food delivery etc. So why is there not an app to recommend shows? Imagine a small questionnaire users would fill out, then just like an online dating website you are matched with the shows that fit your criteria.

A History Of Animation: From Cut-Outs To Computers
Even before the days of traditional animation methods, humans attempted to visualise stories by using moving images and props, for example, shadow puppet theatres and thaumatropes (two-sided discs on a string with different images on each side, creating an illusion of movement when spun).

Who I would cast if "I am the Messenger" were a film
I am the Messenger is one of my favorite books of all time. Author Markus Zusak published it in Australia as The Messenger in 2002, and then it was released in America as I am the Messenger. Including this title, he has three books published in the United States. The other two being the Book Thief and Bridge of Clay.

If Django Unchained, Then Underground
Slavery is the gathering of all the heinous actions a human can commit and unleashing them onto another group of humans for centuries. It is the most excruciating period of history to see depicted. From the moment of conception, we begin ingesting the indignity perpetuated onto our enslaved ancestors. It is funneled through our fallopian tubes and it exits with us as we leave our mother’s bodies. The shame does not belong to us though. We were not the savages. Our ancestors were survivors. There was an intentional attempt to warp our ancestor’s minds and to alter every generation afterward. We must exorcise our systems of that. It takes re-examining and re-directing to face trauma. If you are a non-Black person who is reluctant to watch a film or show about enslaved people, I would suggest viewing the stories from a different perspective. On paper slavery ended in 1863 and somewhat more concretely in 1865 but watching films/ shows set in that time should make the damaging stains slavery left on society more prevalent. The hatred and the institutions built on that hatred did not disintegrate with a proclamation or with the South being unable to secede from the North.

The Perfect Formula
I could list off recommendations, based on my favorite tv shows or movies, for hours. Thanks to online streaming services, there is an abundance of new and old, movies or series to watch. I tend to fall into the categories of comic books, thrillers, drama and documentaries; that's my niche.

What's Your K-Drama?
Korean dramas: you may have heard of them in passing, maybe seen a thumbnail or two while you were scrolling through your Netflix or Hulu account. One glance, and you'll see the common components of a well-seasoned K-drama: beautiful people, the promise of glamour and prestige, and maybe the promise of a few breathless moments of dramatics usually only seen in the realm of Western soap operas.
