What do you get when you put a junkie, a man with the body of a space gorilla, a movie star, a time traveling old man with the body of a child, Batman, a ghost and their emotionally repressed sister…? A pretty fun TV show.

There is an obvious irony in reviewing Netflix’s new film Velvet Buzzsaw, a film that has a deathly bone to pick with the art critics of the world

Truly charming, truly vicious, and truly evil, Ted Bundy was one of the most notorious serial killer of our time. A man of many faces, Bundy’s killing spree over the course of four years took the lives of over thirty women and spanned across seven states.
Given the numerous home shows available when you have a real television, you might wonder why you should watch another one on your laptop. The first two reasons should be obvious: it’s on Netflix and produced by the BBC. The even better reason is that it is nothing like any homes show you’ve seen before.
In “Sex Education”’s mere eight episodes it is able to tell a story that, although its particulars may vary from many people’s high school experiences; its overall message speaks towards the awkward universality of that time in people’s lives.

Netflix released yet another original back in February called Everything Sucks! and I’m here to spoil it for you. The show is set in 1996 in Boring, Oregon, which is actually a real place, though it was filmed in Oregon City and Portland. The show revolves primarily around the stories of Luke and Kate, a freshman and a sophomore at Boring High School. Surprise, surprise, these kids are played by real 14-year-olds and not random 24-year-olds pretending like they still look young enough to pass as high schoolers. I’m going to take you through each episode, give you the highlights, and hopefully explain why I got so emotionally invested in this short-lived Netflix original.
