At the ripe old age of 27 I have developed commitments issues when it comes to series. I just can't start something if it's more than 5 or 6 series long because in my mind I've already written it off as going on longer than it should be bc this is generally the case. My best friend keeps telling me to watch Grey's Anatomy and I just can't bring myself to do it :kink: I've been burned in the past when I've been into a series and it keeps going on and on and on and.... Like Pretty Little Liars or How I Met Your Mother, both should have ended after a few seasons. Riverdale takes the absolute piss, I stopped watching it after season 2 I think :lol: The 100 also went on too long but I did stop watching it after season 3, from what I've seen though it lost its way a bit. So what series do you feel that way about? On the other hand, which series were cut too short. I feel like there is a longer list for those, especially when it comes to Netflix shows that have been cancelled after their first season. Sense8 immediately comes to mind for that. One Day At A Time, Winnona Earp, The Wilds, Faking It as well. There's probably more I could add if I thought about it. Orphan Black is my all time favourite series and as much as I'd love for it to have gone on longer I can fully respect why it ended when it did and it felt natural, I don't feel like it was cut before it's time. I do hope they do something with it in the future as I do miss it but I can always rewatch it for the 10th time I suppose :lol:

Pretty sure Dillan is pansexual and Lucas is closeted and struggling to accept that he's gay? Is there not a conversation therapy storyline going on as well that Lucas is involved in with the teacher? I really do need to start watching this properly bc I just watch clips on tiktok but it always seems to be the Dillan/Lucas storyline I see or Frankie and JJ Although I did see Miss Roxie Mitchell crawling about some bins?? :wub:

I was meaning to make a thread on this! I watched it all in one day last week, it's a fantastic piece of work. It's so complex that I'm still thinking about different elements on a daily basis. I particularly love how it shows a different side to how someone might deal with trauma and the repercussions it can have on all aspects of your life. Definitely hard hitting stuff that left a lasting impression. The way the characters are portrayed is so interesting, idk how to word this really but the only character I was actively rooting for was Teri, she deserved better than Donny BUT I also could tell he did love her and was hoping he'd sort his shit out for her sake. Donny and Martha both had their faults and I think the fact that Richard recognised that is super important. It wasn't a case of villain vs victim, he wasn't painting himself as a protagonist, he was refreshingly self aware throughout. Nobody deserves to be put through that sort of torment but the fact he tried to understand why Martha was the way she was does speak volumes. It can't be easy having to relive it all again as well, firstly between filming it then again with the reception and people trying to track down the "real" people. I do wonder why Richard chose to give Martha a different ending. He said she didn't get jail time irl yet she is arrested and found guilty in the series. I know he says he didn't press charges irl because he knew she was a victim as well but why not have the series end on that note too? Maybe it was purely for the story telling element.

I don't think it's the worst I just hate that this is her exit storyline and doesn't really make sense for her character at this point in time. Maybe if she wasn't pregnant then yea but after everything with Peach I just don't see why Whitney would kinda neglect the care of her pregnancy/unborn child to take on a responsibility she really doesn't need to be doing especially when shes breaking the law and risking her family over it. I get that she sees herself in Britney and thinks she can be her Bianca etc but it's turning Whitney into someone she never really has been. If one character deserved to ride off into the sunset with a happy ending it's Whitney, they've had enough notice of her leaving to do something worthwhile with her so this is all a bit shit and seems like such a random plot they've just put in to lead up to her exit. There's so many other things they could have done.You know it's bad when Lauren Branning is her voice of reason thought it :lol:

I had high hopes for Anatomy of a Fall as I'm sure it won awards and seems to be highly rated among critics, it was labeled as a physiological thriller so I was expecting it to be a who-done-it type or at least have you really questioning if the wife killed her husband or not but it was just dull and didn't really make you think :lol: I really hope Abigail can become a series, they definitely left it with room to continue, it would be fab for Melissa's sake if that was the case considering what happened with Scream - horrors are hard to get right in my opinion, they're either too predictable, too similar to other things, too much focus on gore/violence that it loses the plot or they're boring and drag on too long but this was a perfect horror film tbh a definite must watch for anyone, even if this genre isn't usually your thing

Day 27 -Stand Atlantic - Coffee at Midnight

Day 26 Peach PRC - Secret So many options for today but decided to take the opportunity to not do an artist repeat and post one of my faves :wub:

I don't think she overreacted to anything like she's dying and her dad's a piece of shit so go off girlie but it was like her lips would move in every direction at once :lol:

They're hardly gonna film her three hour wait to be seen are they? :lol: I reckon it could be Emma on the other end of the phone as well but I don't know what she could be up to really, it's such a shame for her to take advantage of Jay like that, him of all people! Kinda glad to see go, her facial expressions annoyed me :lol: I'm surprised Karen wasn't in that taxi with Bernie. I actually don't hate , Whitney has become a pain in the arse, she's acting out of character as well not caring about the baby the way she should be. I imagine she'll go back to Milton Keynes with Bianca, Britney and the baby or she'll leave Zack with the baby

Day 25 Fall Out Boy - We Didn't Start The Fire This is a modern take on the Billy Joel song, it's a cover essentially but with updated lyrics

Day 24 Blondie - Maria Wanted to go with Heart of Glass but it was only remixed in '95, it was released much earlier so we'll go with Maria x

I think she's the type of artist that does have something for everyone, you don't need to love every album she puts out to say you're a fan. She just makes good pop music but each album does have a different style so it's only natural some people will prefer some over others. I love her but I'm not a massive fan of Folklore, Evermore and The Tortured Poets Department, there's only a couple of songs from each that I actually like and go back to. I think she's so popular because she's managed to strike the balance and stay relevant enough to maintain fans who will listen to her for nostalgia value but still have some kind of interest in what she's doing currently whilst also getting new/younger fans on board and lets face it, she's a good business woman as well, she's making the right kind of moves to amplify herself.

Day 23 Hayley Williams - Sudden Desire Paramore are v much still alive and kicking but Hayley's solo projects deserve some recognition x

You said I'd be fighting for the win!!! I was trusting you Uhsting :(

I've just uncovered a pop justice account I made in 2015 that I've never used, I've replied to two topics and I'm very confused, I don't like that their links aren't underlined actually but it does look very slick and is mobile friendly. I can't bloody find anything on it though so I don't think I'll be making regular appearances :lol:

Seize The Power is gooooood BUT there are better Yonaka songs from that era (I'm re-obsessed with Greedy) Every Taahino entry is a surprise underperformer x Chinchilla should have done better for Askorza, same with Brat from New Lexico, Gravedigger for Aeroche and Green Honda for Klum I don't remember any of those positions but they didn't win so :lol:

Me lines!! They're gone!

They should have just waiting until after this storyline to boot her really

Voted earlier! Quite a few countries in the upper half of my votes that I feel like I don't point a lot :wub:

Day 22 Rina Sawayama - Tokyo Love Hotel

Excited for this! Thank you again Joseph ^_^

Day 21 Alanis Morissette - Head Over Feet #28 week of 11 - 17 August 1996

That L Devine song is an absolute banger as well, surely a top ten

Are you KIDDING?! L Devine, Zolita AND Girli :wub: this is the month of lesbian pop :cheer:
