Here it is, the final episode of season 1, The Eye of the World, and what a mixed bag it is. I will admit that on my first watch, I was less than thrilled with what we got. The CGI was unfinished, the storylines didn't gel, and the post-editing felt very rushed. Most of this …

The penultimate episode of season 1, The Dark Along the Ways, was a big one. More lore! More characters! And finally some answers. What we don't get is an Origin story. This is the first time that we've not had one with an episode, so I'm wondering if they're done? Maybe done for now. There …

It's here! It's here! It's finally here! I am so super excited to see this show on screen after having loved the books for so long. Not only is the show beautiful, but it's an amazing experience. I watched all three episodes as soon as they released, and I am simply over-joyed. Now, really quick …
Actually, I say YOU is a Netflix Original, but it originally started on Lifetime of all networks. I don't watch a lot of Lifetime, but I was under the impression this was not their type of show. It's just so dark and leaves you filling kinda… skeevy after watching it. If you don't know what …
I hope everyone had a happy Halloween! I stayed tucked inside and played a compelling mystery game with my husband called Telling Lies. This game was developed by Sam Barlow, the same developer that released Her Story back in 2015. Both are very fun games and I highly recommend them if you are the sort …
Hello, everyone! My name is Sierra and I’m 1/3rd of Writing Roses, and it’s very nice to meet you all. I realize this is my first blog post here, and I apologize for not posting before now. Most of the time I spend writing relates to my course work, so I don’t spend as much …
