tbh on second listen it’s really not as bad - maybe I was put off by the dancing in the video. Still disappointed though.
It's a bop but basically Sweet But Psycho meets PrimadonnaI don't see how people can stan those two songs and say this is dreadful :lol:
It's like when people said "Down" is awful but stanned "Work From Home" but they're basically the same song...
Because it’s a watered down version! The taste is reminiscent but not something you like, would emd up drinking again

Day 17: Favourite title sequence: Game of Thrones
just stunning - so clever that it helps you understand the georgraphy but also that you know where you’re going to be for the episodes which can get me hyped! such beautiful design as well and together with the theme tune - REALLY sets the scene and gets you excited
Day 18: Favourite theme tune: The French Prince of Bel Air
so basic but i’ve been obsessed since I was tiny

It’s also harder to compare MJ to Saville, Weinstein, R Kelly etc because Michael is the only one where an actual full blown trial has taken place, with lots of evidence within the trial and the people coming out now being a part of that trial - and yet, he was found innocent. There’s also been an FBI investigation with publicly released documents.
Without glossing over the horrendous, horrific and absolutely sickening events surrounding Saville, some of the anger resulting the events is that he can never be tried and punished for his actions. Whereas here, the trial did happen - it was lengthy and well-publicised, so it wasn’t exactly a matter of going through the motions.
There’s no doubting that his relationships with boys was wrong and should not have happened and he definitely treaded the line very carefully between what is legal and what is not. However, in terms of illegal activity, I’m yet to be in a position where I can say those definitely took place. The fact he has already been tried for these offences plays a big part in that.

Day 14: Your favourite male character: Suits - Louis Litt
Day 15: Your favourite female character: Torchwood - Toshiko Sato
She's so loyal and committed to not only her work but importantly her colleagues yet she can never catch a break. Her whole arc is horribly tragic, from the events that led to her working for Torchwood, to starting relationships with people only for something to go wrong (whether that's supplying her with horrible alien tech, sacrificing themselves to heal the rift or just being shot). She's so resilient, incredibly smart and deserved so much more <3
Day 16: A show that is a guilty pleasure: Coach Trip
Cheating because it is technically reality but I've essentially watched this religiously for way too many years (aside from one recent series!!) despite it having the most basic of formats of random activity, break, random activity, vote. I should hate it but I'm obsessed.

Tbh I really don’t know who my favourite male character is, I’m been racking my brain really hard but I’ve put down someone who i initially loved to hate but he really comes more fleshed as the series goes on. He is there for a lot of the comedy but we really get an insight into his vulnerabilities and how this feeds into and causes all of his behaviours. Moments like where he is genuinely hurt by other people’s behaviours despite all his bravado and the behaviour he shows towards others is really special and also seeing his never ending loyalty to the firm <3

For me, there’s also the danger that it’s now turned fanfiction. Obviously it’s not intentional but that feeling can’t be helped when there is no longer the source material and, even though I think George has told them the ending, they’re still deviating towards their own version of the ending. Also, when the basis of the show has been focused on individual character journeys and now, to get to the endgame, you have them all meeting up with each other for the first time at all/since the first season, it can’t be helped but my first thought was always fan fiction even though that’s where the narrative has to lead to!
It’s a really hard one but at least they have spent a bit more time on these final two seasons even if it was in part to cost and the sope of the cinematic scenes. George should have just got on with writing the actual main books rather than having his fingers in every toher pie going!

Day 19: A show with the best cast Parks and Recreation
Everyone is absolutely brilliant and brings so much life to their characters - they all really make the show. I could have easily gone with The Office US, Lost, Torchwood - shows where the cast is a really strong highlight!
