Heartstopper means a hell of a lot to me. I have never seen myself on screen in the way I have seen myself in Kit Connor as Nick Nelson, and that is saying something considering I am a woman. I’ve written about Heartstopper before, about how it does so incredibly well at showing an authentic queer experience, how it touches on some very real, very deep subjects in a way that makes it look like struggling is okay. There is a comfort in Nick and Charlie, a soul-deep welcome fee

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season two dropped just four days ago. I had mixed feelings going into this one because of the absolute car crash that was season one. Such a car crash in fact that it made me genuinely emotionally angry

I do however have friends who adore it, and don’t take that lightly, I mean they once spent an entire day playing Whodle (I bet you can guess what that is) in competition with each other. My knowledge, however, only dates back

Originally written for and published on redbrick.me A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder made my 2022. It got me through my A-Levels, it was my reading list through one of the best summers of my life, and one of the most difficult autumns. I fell head over heels in love with Pip Fitz-Amobi and Ravi Singh. I was enamoured by the case of Andie Bell. Within the year, Holly Jackson took top spot for my favourite author of all time. I was beyond ecstatic at the news of the TV adaptation

Originally written for and published on redbrick.me Dearest gentle reader, alas the Bridgertons have graced our screens again for yet another social season in London.

Colman, possibly known best for her portrayal of the late Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s fictional biopic The Crown, has become a national treasure. In a show that consisted of mostly new faces, Colman quickl
