Cancelled Or Ongoing, These Titles Are Worth Your Time
People say that they want to watch new things. However, whether people care to admit it or not, they tend to make selections based on at least some degree of familiarity. First, I will list a few titles that I am sure many people love. Afterward, for each one, I will recommend a familiar title that perhaps may not have been on your radar.

"Harry Potter" Fan Theories: The Boy Who Lived or The Boy The World Forgot?
In the Harry Potter series, it should be evident that Harry is the subject of all significant events. Right? Was Harry destined to be the Boy Who Lived? Or did Voldemort inadvertently create his own nemesis? One Harry Potter fan theory with the most traction is that Professor Trelawney's prophecy applied to Harry and Neville Longbottom.

The Three Cs
Ask me about a perfect partner and I wouldn’t know how to respond. That answer is buried somewhere under a revolting quantity of more important questions, for example – what’s my favorite snack while gaming? Well, it has to be something that leaves me less inclined to leave a trail of fingerprints on my controller. Another character defining question, flight powers or ability to breathe under water? Come on, Mariana’s Trench has been such sleep-depriving mystery, why would I pass that up? Cthulhu is real, prove me wrong. And lastly, what makes a perfect show/film, worthy of recommendation? This right here is the question any self-respecting writer would cross their legs over, push their glasses to the bridge of their nose and remark, “you chose the red pill, huh.” This question is loaded. Six-chambers deep into analytical composites, compound understanding and complete and utter indulgence. Afterall, this is opinion. But thinking deeply keeps me from getting existential with other matters in life, so without further delay, let’s get to it.

If The Best Man, Then Friends from College
People love to make grand generalized statements about the higher learning experience. College is a conundrum. It is never internalized the same from generation to generation or from one student to the next. The Best Man and Friends from College are hilarious depictions of people who have met lifelong friends in college and those who should probably distance themselves from their college tribe. It would be easier if these groups of friends named themselves like the Flossy Posse in Girls Trip or the Goonies, or Divas like Will’s mother and aunts in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Alas, they do not, so you will see the word friend a lot.

Is It Really "More Than a Feeling?"
In 2020, TV became more than just background noise or an escape after a long workday. Streaming became a window to pre-pandemic life. Travel plans were nixed, concerts postponed, family holidays cancelled. To survive, we had to socially distance and mask-up, unable to even smile at a stranger while passing them in the grocery store. It’s been an incredibly isolating time, and for many, the only “people” allowed into their homes were the characters on a show or movie. We invited Moira and David Rose to dinner, Michael Scott was our boss, we went out at night with Carrie and Samantha. My friends and I turned first to these familiar shows in an attempt at some consistency in our lives—"Seinfeld", "The Office", "Parks and Rec", "Sex and the City".

From The Avatar to The Princess of Power
When it comes to these fantastic comic originating TV animations you can tell that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. It’s hard to believe at points that these shows are originally aimed for children; their exploration of character development delves deeply into the psychology of their protagonists to the point it becomes questioningly psychological thrillers.
