When a beloved franchise gets picked up for a revival or reboot, one of two things happens. Either the fanbase gets super protective and starts hating on the new show or they await anxiously optimistic and eager to meet with those fan favourites again after all those years. I fall in the latter group as … Continue reading ‘That ’90s Show’: Season 1 Is Nostalgic In All The Right Ways.
They did it again, goddamnit. I swore I wouldn't watch the second season but here I am, seven episodes later talking about 'Fate: The Winx Saga' yet again. I mean I grew up with the original show, I love and adore those characters and the rich world Iginio Straffi created. I couldn't help but give … Continue reading ‘Fate: The Winx Saga’ Season 2 As Reviewed By a ‘Winx Club’ Fan.
