diary
I grew up in front of TV. I would wake up early, go to sleep late, develop phobias and learn through this magical box in the living room. I am glad to have grown up where families would sit together and watch TV together, that it was something which helped showed varied images from News, Drama, Comedies and more. Nowadays I use my humble Macbook as my gateway to the land of television, but nevertheless, I still make the effort to watch television shows which I find are compelling, diverse, LGBTQIA and some to just make me laugh. Here are some shows I've been watching.
- DISCLOSURE is a film about trans representation in the media, it is a thoughtful deep-dive into representation, its development and the repercussions.
- I don't laugh out loud too much, but 8 OUT OF 10 CATS is a fun and challenging comedy game show which never ceases to get a smile.
- I can proudly say that I have watched every season of GREY's ANATOMY.
- The spin-off from Black'ish, GROWN'ISH is a modern take on college life and how life works.
- Think Project Runway but for Make-Up Artists, GLOW UP is a British reality competition to find the next best make up artist.
- I MAY DESTROY YOU is compelling and provoking written and co-directed by Chewing Gum's Michaela Coel.
- Issa Rae's INSECURE takes you on a journey of life and friendships in LA with more laughs than crazy drama.
- Who doesn't like a female assassin and Sandra Oh? KILLING EVE.
- One of the best competition shows, LEGENDARY showcases the Ball scene as they battle for $100,000.
- Based on the novel LITTLE FIRES EVERYWHERE is a miniseries exploring race, social equality and trying to find who you are.
- A sequel/spin-off of sorts LOVE, VICTOR takes the movie Love, Simon and turns it into 10 episodes of good tv.
- Want to learn about the ERA and the Women's Liberation Movement? Not to mention watch powerhouse performances by Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson? MRS. AMERICA.
- NORMAL PEOPLE is a new look at a relationship over time, it reminds me of the movie One Day, without the sad ending.
- The over the top indulgent show THE POLITICIAN is just that, not to mention Gwyneth Paltrow, Bette Midler and Judith Light.
- RUPAUL's DRAG RACE ALL STARS 5, need I say more?
- VISIBLE: OUT ON TELEVISION is a miniseries based off key elements of LGBTQIA representation, history and future.
- A Must. I never read the comic nor watched the movie, but WATCHMEN series was a favourite.
- It's heavy and at times confusing but WESTWORLD is my inner sci-fi nerd's obsession.
