The Sky people lived in the Ark, which is a satellite revolving around Earth. These people are genetically immune to high intense levels of solar radiation, which will become an advantage when they settle on Earth. Punishments for criminal actions usually are "floating". "Floating" is when a person is sent out into space without protective gear, which causes them to die. (But hey, it's not that bad right? Right?!) The 100 are Sky people, the main characters. |
Grounders are humans who survived the radiation on Earth. These people possess an advantage just like the Sky people. These advantageous traits are the result of "survival of the fittest", which will be an important weapon. (Hint hint.) They have their own Grounder language and many of their actions are deeply rooted in faith and spirituality. The Grounders do not choose their leaders: they believe in reincarnation and the spirit of the previous leader will pick someone worthy. Some of their actions are portrayed as violent. Many Grounders have some kind of face tattoo/painting. In the beginning of the story, Sky people and Grounders have fought but they have a common enemy: the Mountain Men. |
Mountain Men are also human but they escaped the harmful radiation by hiding in Mount Weather. Because of this, they are not genetically fit for the radiation. The Mountain Men have much more "advanced" technology compared to the Grounders and the Sky people. They grow their foods in hydroponic gardens and have a fully functioning medical center. However, their means of becoming less susceptible to the harmful radiation is controversial. (Ooohhh what is it? Well you'll have to see to find out!) |
Are you a Sky person, Grounder, or a Mountain Man? Do you ship #Clexa or #Bellarke? Let me know in the comments below!
I really enjoy this show because of how complex the characters are. In the beginning I had an aversion o a certain character but over time I started to understand that character's motivations. Vice versa. A character you may adore can possibly break your heart. The show really challenges morality. Sometimes heroic actions are bad. Killing may be good.
This show started in 2014 and currently has 4 seasons. Each season has around 13-16 episodes of 40 minutes. Honestly, watching this show doesn't seem like a chore. Some shows make the episodes seem very long. This show makes time fly by. I would highly recommend this show to everyone! The 100 is available on the CW and is available on Netflix.

Settled in Stars Hollow, Connecticut, Rory and Lorelai Gilmore live out their seemingly normal lives. However, tensions rise as Rory heads off to Chilton School and meets a boy while Lorelai experiences troubles as a manager at the Independence Inn.
This is Rory Gilmore. Her real name is Lorelai, named after her mother. But to distinguish herself and her mom, she goes by Rory. Rory is the quintessential example of a perfect daughter: she's kind, has great friends, gets good grades, and respects her small town. However, she finds herself falling for a boy named Dean Forester. |
This is the reigning Lorelai. She is the mom that everyone wants. She's also the one who you can't imagine is a mom. Lorelai had Rory as a teenager with her boyfriend Christopher Hayden. She's quirky, talks really fast, and loves coffee. How can anyone not like her? |
Lane Kim is Rory's best friend. Lane is the rebellious teenager in all of us. Her mom, Mrs. Kim, is a strict Seventh Day Adventist and sells antiques. Lane, on the other hand, loves rock and roll and dyed her hair purple once. Just like any sneaky teenager would do, Lane hides all her things underneath the floorboards near her bed. |
Dean Forester is Rory's first boyfriend. He is the sweetest one. (I'm totally not biased. Well maybe I am because he's played by Jared Padalecki.) Dean is a caring boyfriend who is willing to change if it helps the relationship. Rory encouraged him to pursue higher education and he took her advice to heart and applied to Southern Connecticut State College. He even built Rory a car! A properly working car! What else can you want? (Seriously, for those who hate Dean or are against #TeamDean, please reconsider.) |
Jess Mariano is Luke Dane's nephew. He's the bad boy who falls in love with Rory. While he may seem like a douchebag in the beginning, he is sweet and gentle to Rory. He treats others like trash, but to Rory he gives her all his attention. (I can see why majority of Gilmore Girls fans are #TeamJess, but they have to reconsider about being Rory's boyfriend.) |
Logan Huntzberger III. He's the Yale legacy and runs Yale's school newspaper. He meets Rory and tries to gain her attention through the mysterious club called Life and Death Brigade and by buying a whole food cart for her. His family is similar to the Gilmore family. Well, Rory's grandparent's family. They're both rich and come from a line of Yale legacies. While Logan was a player, his feelings for Rory have always been clear. |
Luke Danes is the owner of Luke's Diner. His small, commodious diner welcomes the residents of Stars Hollow. Although he's not a dad (or is he?) , he has the typical "dad responses". I don't want to call Luke as pessimistic, but he is a realistic person. He believes in practicality. He begins to develop an affection for Lorelai when she visits his diner and he helps fix her house. |
Are you #TeamDean? #TeamJess? #TeamLogan? Or even #TeamRory? Let me know in the comments below!
I really enjoy this show. The show focuses on the character development of both main and secondary characters. I can relate more to this show because Rory is a high school student/college student, dealing with the coming-of-age events unlike dystopian television shows set in the future. I highly recommend this show for everyone! This is a fantastic show and you will not be disappointed.
The show started in 2000 and has 7 seasons and each episode is 40 minutes long. In 2016, Netflix released four 90-minute episodes recounting a year in the life of the Gilmore girls. (If you would like a review of the newer episodes, please let me know in the comments!) The show ended with unfinished business. I wouldn't exactly call it a cliffhanger because it didn't make me feel blindsided. The newer episodes definitely released me from mystery. The original show and the newer episodes are available on Netflix.

Living in the suburbs of Santa Clarita, California, Sheila and Joel Hammond are real estate agents with a teenage daughter. Life seems fairly easy and sunny until Sheila chokes up her heart and turns into a zombie.
This show is a Netflix original and currently there is only one season with 10 episodes. (Since this show only has 1 season, this review is shorter than my usual reviews.) While a show about zombies, such as The Walking Dead, are ominous and gruesome, this show plays on a lighter side. The show turns dark as soon as Sheila becomes a zombie. Her neighbors are in law enforcement and one of them is genuinely creepy. (That neighbor is secretly a cop but is involved in the black market.)
While the show primarily focuses on the Hammond couple, the focus also shifts to their daughter, Abby, and the boy next door, Eric. The teens figure out a way to feed Sheila and keep her sane while Eric has a passionate crush on Abby.
Watching this show certainly has made me think differently. What if I died? There are activities and experiences that I want to enjoy in life. Sheila is undead and she's living her best life, despite killing people for food. Each episode flies by when I was watching this on Netflix so the content is easy for the viewer to digest. (No pun intended.)

Would you like to try the Santa Clarita Diet? Let me know in the comments below!
I enjoy this show. It's funny how Sheila tries to live life better while keeping her cover as a zombie. (One time, she and her friends walk and gossip about fitness. Sheila looks so much better and credits her new diet. Her friends ask, "What do you eat?" "Protein." she replied. "How much?" "All of them.")
The graphics are a bit gruesome but they're obvious. Images of human flesh seem like the fake toys you find in the Halloween aisle. These images may be disturbing to those who are queasy. i would rate this 4.5/5 because some of the episodes are cringe worthy. (Even thinking of some scenes make me cringe.) I don't recommend this show for those who want to invest their time in watching a good show. This show is great for those who are bored or just want to watch something. Each episode is 40 minutes long and is available only on Netflix.

The first family of vampires, the Mikaelsons, have lived for over a thousand years. The mother was a witch who wanted to reunite and revive her family to live together forever. Unlike most vampires, a stake in the heart and vervain won't harm or kill them. Instead a white oak stake is needed. Settling down in the French Quarters of Louisiana, three of the Mikaelsons--Klaus, Elijah, and Rebecca-- encounter an old friend while maintaining animosity towards the Bayou werewolves. Will the Mikaelsons be able to survive and unite as a family once again?
This show is a spin-off of the show The Vampire Diaries. (If you would like a review of the Vampire Diaries, let me know in the comments below and/or email me.) Unlike the Vampire Diaries, this show delves into the history of the Mikaelson family and the origins of the vampire history.

Most of the characters are vampires. Elijah and Rebecca are vampires. Their other brothers--Finn and Kol-- are vampires also, but not as involved in the story. The original vampires and regular vampires can turn humans into vampires by delivering their own blood into the victim's bloodstream. Original vampires can control their appetite. Regular vampires, however, have a harder time doing so and will go crazy in order to have a sip of human blood. |
Witches are played throughout the story. in the Vampire Diaries, Bonnie was the only witch. However, in Louisiana there is a large coven of witches. in the picture, Davina is a powerful witch. Witches can be both women and men, but they are mostly women. (Fun fact: the actress who played Davina went to the same high school as I am currently attending!) |
When there are vampires, there have to be werewolves. These werewolves turn when they killed their first human while they are in human form. Werewolves run in the family unlike vampires where someone needs to get bitten. The transformation is very painful, especially the first time. Werewolves eat human meat and cannot stand wolfsbane, similar to a vampire's vervain. A werewolf has a special advantage against a vampire: a werewolf bite is extremely lethal to a vampire. |
Finally there is the hybrid. A hybrid is a mix of vampire and werewolf. His mother cheated on Mikael and had an affair with a local werewolf. Klaus is naturally born as a werewolf, but was turned into a vampire along with his family. That makes Klaus the first hybrid. He produced an army of hybrids himself by injecting vampire blood into existing werewolves. It's not possible for a vampire to become a hybrid because it needs the werewolf gene. |
Which creature in the Originals world would you be: vampire, werewolf, witch, hybrid, or human? Let me know in the comments below!
in my opinion, I prefer this show over the Vampire Diaries. There's too much love drama between the characters in the Vampire Diaries. In the Originals, the love story is clearer and focuses on family drama. Family drama is always fun to watch because siblings resent each other but they still love each other in the end.
This show is not at all like Twilight. (Twilight is a terrible book and movie. I would not recommend or post anything that resemble Twilight.) The theme of family is highly prevalent throughout the show. After all, the show is about the Mikaelson family. Themes of loyalty and desire also recur throughout the show. This show has references to sex and violence is graphic. I would rate this 4.7/5 because although the show is well written, some of the character's decisions are poor and repetitive.
There are currently 3 seasons and the 4th season is coming out this year. Each episode is 40 minutes and the show can be watched on CW and is available on Netflix.

Eddie Huang, a young Chinese-American boy, lives in 1995 Orlando after his family decided to move from Washington, D.C. His parents, Louis and Jessica, are two eccentric people, trying to fit in this "white" society while retaining their Asian backgrounds. Eddie has two younger brothers who are the stereotypical high-achieving kids. With these two seemingly different words, are the Huangs able to keep their cultural heritage while living in Orlando?
This is a really funny show, especially if you are Asian. (I'm not saying that non-Asians can't enjoy the show.) This show is based off a memoir that the real Eddie Huang wrote. He wrote the book in 2013 about his life growing up as an Asian. This show is extremely relatable. As an Asian myself, I get a kick out of it because there are so many references and situations that I recognize. For example, when a supermarket employee asks Jessica Huang if she would like a sample, Jessica takes the whole sample tray because it is free. That is similar to what my dad does all the time! (My family goes to Costco and Costco has so many sample stations. He likes to chat with the employees and get a sample every time he passes the corner.)

Is representation in the media improving? Do these kind of shows correctly portray POC (people of color)? Let me know in the comments below!
What i like about this show is that the cast is very diverse. Other movies are dubbed as "diverse" if one or two POC are included. Asians are the least represented in media and almost always play nerds. Eddie, however, wants to get a rapper and loves hip-hop. Louis opens up an American BBQ restaurant called Cattleman's Ranch. By writing more shows similar to Fresh Off the Boat, there will be more acceptance of Asians going into the entertainment industry.
This show is for everyone and there is (barely) no swear words. Fresh Off the Boat started in 2015 and currently there are three season. Each episode is 20 minutes and is available on ABC.
