I've talked before about my love-hate relationships with medical drama TV shows, but the one that is the easiest to pick apart is The Good Doctor due to it's protagonist being on the autism spectrum, like me. Autism is often difficult to represent in the media because it comes in many different forms. Many who… Continue reading The Problem With Shaun Murphy (From Another Autistic Person’s Perspective)

The Witcher S2 E8 – Family
I don't know why, I thought there were going to be at least three more episodes, but this episode was so intense I didn't realize until the very end that it was our season finale! And what a finale it was! Spoilers ahead. The last episode ended with Voleth Meir possessing Ciri and the result… Continue reading The Witcher S2 E8 – Family
The Witcher S2 E7 – Voleth Meir
The buildup is real! I haven't watched an episode in a while so I did today on my day off and things are starting to gradually intensify for what, I'm hoping, is an epic finale. Tensions are rising between Fringilla and the rest of the Nilfgaardians and their truce with the elves, and when Francesca's… Continue reading The Witcher S2 E7 – Voleth Meir

The Witcher S2 E5 – Turn Your Back
Weaker episodes often serve as build-ups to the stronger ones ahead. Maybe this one is the first. I did enjoy this one a little more than the last two and I really hope this means we're going to get a great finale when the time comes! Source: IMDb.com This season is definitely Triss Merigold's time… Continue reading The Witcher S2 E5 – Turn Your Back
The Witcher S2 E4 – Redanian Intelligence
Some episodes in any TV series serve a purpose to pump us up for more epic events that occur later in the season, even if it means not many exciting things happen for a couple of episodes. This one and the previous episode seem to be heading down that road. But it is not devoid… Continue reading The Witcher S2 E4 – Redanian Intelligence

Some episodes are weaker than others and maybe this one makes that cut with certain moments that it has.

The Witcher S2 E1 – A Grain of Truth
I find it quite challenging to commit to writing reviews of TV series compared to book and video game reviews, while ones on films I've just simply given up on! But, now I feel committed to doing this at my own pace instead of trying to pump them out weekly, especially since my lifestyle has… Continue reading The Witcher S2 E1 – A Grain of Truth
My Problem With Medical Dramas
I currently watch three medical dramas on CTV. While they can be addictive, they aren't perfect. Everyone knows Grey's Anatomy, it's been around for decades with 17 seasons and counting. Then there's The Good Doctor, which I thought was a step in the right direction introducing a surgical resident with ASD like me, but even… Continue reading My Problem With Medical Dramas
