Amanda Clarke was only a little girl when her father was taken from her. Charged for a crime he didn’t commit, David Clarke spent 20 years separated from his daughter. Killed in prison (???), Amanda goes on to avenge her father’s framing and death in prison. In order to do so, she needs a new identity; Emily Thorne.

Set in the Hamptons, Revenge lets you live vicariously amongst the rich, seeing into the daily lives of Victoria, Conrad, Charlotte, and Daniel Grayson.

Does Amanda get revenge at the end of our journey through 4 seasons? Does she get answers? Does she find true love?

If you’ve never seen One Tree Hill, here’s a quick synopsis for you:

Lucas and Nathan have the same dad, but different moms.

Nathan and Peyton are dating.

Brooke doesn’t like to settle down.

Lucas and Haley are BFF’s.

(Fast forward)

Nathan and Haley get married.

Lucas and Peyton date.

Brooke has twins.

Well then, that escalated rather quickly. Want details? Go binge it for yourself. I guarantee you won’t regret it.

I never thought in a million years that I would enjoy binge watching Sex and the City. To me, it was always this ridiculous show about 4 women living in idealistic Manhattan talking about sex 24/7.

I wasn’t wrong.

But it’s also so much more than that.

At first I was a little hesitant to begin watching it, but being sick in bed and fresh out of ideas for new shows to binge, SJP popped into my head. So I went on Amazon Video, and there it was, all 6 seasons. I started, and haven’t been able to stop since.

Although we like to reminisce about the 90’s, my generation doesn’t actually remember anything from then. And also considering today’s video quality, I thought that the fact that Sex and the City wasn’t in HD 1080p would bother me. On the contrary, actually. I enjoyed every minute of the old school look and feel of the production, the set, and even the fashion.

Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte are 4 best friends that live in the city, and also happen to be strong, independent, working, and successful (not so young) women. Each woman is trying to fulfill her respective definition of love. Each woman has her own personality and ideas on love, and somehow they each manage to give each other advice on achieving that happy ending.

The show has made me laugh, it’s made me cry, and it’s opened my eyes to what life was like when I was only 3 years old (I mostly appreciated that Carrie drank Starbucks and I got to see what the cups looked like in 1998).

I’m excited to finish the series, and as far as I can tell, it’s a show worth recommending.

Game of Thrones isn’t your ordinary kind of drama. If you asked me to explain it to you, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. But here’s what I can think of right now:

Game of Thrones is a fantasy drama set on the fictional continents of Westeros and Essos and has several plot lines. The first story arc follows a dynastic conflict among competing claimants for succession to the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms. The show attracted record viewership on HBO, with a broad and active international fan base.

The show was recommended to me by multiple friends, and so I finally caved. I started, and I couldn’t stop. It even got in the way of my school work! It has everything from conflicting relationships to friendship v. family. Essentially, Game of Thrones is the ultimate bingeworthy show with substance. BUT YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION. You can’t just watch it while doing something else. You actually have to sit down and look at the screen and pay attention to detail.
