CHOICES FOR EVERY GENRE

okay okay i have many recs depending on what u want to watch next. thriller/short series: mindhunter on netflix. INSANEEEE, perfectly shot and well acted. real interviews and lines from those interviews were used in this show, and it’s just an utterly fascinating look into the FBI and the term “serial killer” in the 70s. growing up/comedy: GIRLS. look, i know lena dunham is a controversial figure, but she managed to create something that perfect encapsulates what it’s like to be going through your 20’s. sad, hysterical, and real. just insane: the rehearsal. if you haven’t yet acquainted yourself with the world of nathan fielder: please do so. it will change your life. cringe comedy on a whole other level, and this recent season of the rehearsal is possibly the best season of television i have ever seen. light/mystery/drama: big little lies. a classic, layered with drama, scandals, and surprisingly good writing, cinematography, and plot twists.

SWARM

When becoming a stan takes a new meaning. After loss & tragedy, people grieve in many different ways: but our protagonist chooses to deal in a much more violent way than most. In this series you get a flood of different emotions and most of all you get confused, but this series is something I do not regret binging. If you don’t mind some gory scenes & some disturbing ones too, this series is a must watch. Whilst it did come out in 2023, I don’t think it got enough praise. Dominique Fishback does an absolute masterclass in acting (& was snubbed at the Emmy’s). There is some really disturbing shit in this show, so if you get triggered easily I wouldn’t watch it. Nevertheless, go watch it and you’ll understand why I’d rave about this show.

The Seventh Day

I read this book for my IB English class, and thoroughly enjoyed it. It explores human connection, the afterlife, morality, classism, family, spirituality, and more. Most of all, the absurdism and satirical elements tie everything together to form an emotional story that takes readers through the process of grief and self-acceptance alongside the narrator, Yang Fei. If you are looking for a book that broadens your perspective and empathy, be sure to give this one a try. -224 pages, so it is a good length -split into 7 parts: 7 ‘days’ -not a challenging read, but meaningful and packs a punch
