I have so far fallen asleep during Bridgerton and was kind of bored by it.

We got about half way through it. The story is fascinating and horrifying but I felt the movie went overboard with the whole Socialist angle. It did spark a good discussion and I'm finally going to get around to reading the book. libgirl, the empathy on Socialism portrayed here was popular back then in the 1920's, (as it is currently) and women at that time were trying to get the vote! Can you imagine a time that you had no right to a vote? A voice in our democracy? At this time in history, Socialism was fighting for women's sufferage. Capitalism wasn't interested! We advance step by step. Let's face it, we are chock full of "Socialist" popular programs in our country! Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, the infrastructure, etc. ,etc. We are not each of us all alone, we all give to help each other. That is why they try to make "Socialism" seem like a nasty thing. If you finish watching this show, you'd see that by joining together, we can protect ourselves! All of us! No matter what you call it! We're all in this together! Oh, I agree. I even told my husband how much the Socialists were involved in workers rights etc..... I think I just wanted to get back to the story of the women. I read the book and I wanted to see more. Did they even mention Ottawa (which is near where I live)?

Shucks, libgirl. It should have occurred to me that, with a name like libgirl, you wouldn't require any information about Socialism. I don't remember Ottowa being mentioned.

Fate: The Winx Saga - based on a Italian animated show that ran 8 seasons on Nickelodeon. Initially the audience was 10 to 11 yr olds and season 8's target audience was younger. The showed has been reimagined as a live action Young Adult Fantasy story. The story is struggling at time to get past it's origins and also be more than a YA story. At times I rooted for Bloom, the main character, and at times she is such a self centered brat I wanted to slap her. The show has promise and I would watch another season.
Carmen Sandiego Season 4 - the animated series that combines the good guys fighting the evil crime organization known as VILE and geography. Wraps up the Carmen Sandiego story arc.
The Bridgertons - and interesting imagining of Julia Quinn's Regency Romance novels about the Bridgerton Family.

{Full Article} What Is Fate: The Winx Saga, the Absolutely Deranged Show Currently No. 1 on Netflix? I have answers, but I cannot say I understand them.
By Heather Schwedel

Alfea headmistress Farah Dowling stands next to a student, Stella, who holds shimmering arches of light in her hands, in a still from the TV show Fate: The Winx Saga.
Fate: The Winx Saga’s sorta-Dumbledore and sorta-Draco. Netflix
It’s the dawn of the next era in America. We’ve put 2020 behind us. Joe Biden is our president. Suddenly, it’s all about unity, model-poets, great coats. And, because there always is, there’s also a new show everybody can’t stop watching for this new era. That show is—and I don’t think anyone saw this coming—Fate: The Winx Saga, a teen fantasy about fairies.
Yes, Fate: The Winx Saga. Fate, colon, The Winx Saga. Fate, but specifically, the particular saga of it that concerns the Winx. (Will there be other sagas?) I’m going to keep trying to say those words as if they make any sense at all, but I don’t know if it’s going to work. Because I am not one of the millions—tens of millions?—of people who originally helped propel Fate: The Winx Saga to the top of Netflix’s most-viewed list, where it’s been sitting for days now. But I am curious what it is and how it got there, and perhaps you are too.
As far as I can tell, the answer is mainly: the teens. They love their Netflix! Even so, I am used to teens watching shows that have names consisting of words that I can extrapolate meaning from—what am I missing here? Where did this show come from, and why is it proving to be this month’s streaming-service pied piper? I present to you Fate: The Winx Saga: The Explainer.
If this Netflix No. 1 show were a person, it would have “Not Your Mama’s Fairy Show” tramp-stamped on the small of its back.
What is Fate: The Winx Saga?
Inasmuch as Fate: The Winx Saga is real—because the thing all these Netflix apparitions have in common is that even after watching them you still have this niggling feeling that they might only exist in your head—I can say for sure that it is a TV show (well, streaming show) that consists of one six-episode season so far. The premise is basically Harry Potter, but fairies. In the first episode, we meet Bloom (played by Abigail Cowen), an American girl who was living a normal life in the “Firstworld” until she found out she was a fairy and got whisked off to Alfea, a magical boarding school in a magical dimension, the “Otherworld.” The school is located in a “realm” called Solaria that, given that all the students there are British, seems to just be this show’s version of magic England (à la Westeros).
So fairies? As in Tinkerbell?
No, and how dare you. If this show were a person, it would have “Not Your Mama’s Fairy Show” tramp-stamped on the small of its back, right under a conspicuous lack of wings—wings being the province of, presumably, your mama’s lame fairy show. These are cool, edgy teen fairies, so there are no wings and no pixie dust here, thank you very much—at least at the beginning of the show, while we’re still getting used to the shocking idea that there are modern teen fairies who talk about memes and vapes and Instagram.
Surely this must be based on some blockbuster series of young adult novels?
It would seem like it, wouldn’t it? Though the show was undeniably influenced by Twilight, The Hunger Games, and Harry Potter, rather than the book-to-live-action path, Fate: The Winx Saga is the product of a more recent teen intellectual property pipeline: It’s an adaptation of a cartoon. When Riverdale and The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina came along, the “gritty reboot” treatment inspired eye rolls, but their source material was pretty well known by the general population. If you’re older than your 20s and don’t have kids, though, you’d probably never heard of Winx Club, a 2004 cartoon that was originally created and produced in Italy but gained popularity stateside via Nickelodeon. The network aired the original, which reportedly had “major Sailor Moon and Bratz vibes,” as well as a 2011 revival. Oh, and the original cartoon was a musical. The live-action adaptation is decidedly not a musical, and other big changes include making fewer of the characters princesses (seems above board) but more of them white (seems less so).
OK, so a girl who didn’t know she was a fairy shows up at boarding school … is it as derivative as it sounds?
Yes. Now, plenty of properties have ripped off Harry Potter, and J.K. Rowling didn’t exactly invent fantasy or the boarding school novel, but boy does this show’s version of Hogwarts seem particularly slapdash and charmless. Protagonist Bloom (ugh, that name) is plainly a Mary Sue of a main character, and her roommates conveniently and annoyingly exemplify both every hair color and every type of fairy. Yes, there are types of fairies: fire fairy, air fairy, and so on, you know the drill. As a side note, one of the roommates, Stella, played by Hannah van der Westhuysen, looks like Margot Robbie: How many Margot Robbies are we up to now? The show’s mean girl, Beatrix, strangely, seems to break the rules of TV hair color in that she also has red hair, like Bloom, so I’m curious if that will turn out to be meaningful to the plot eventually.
Fate: The Winx Saga doesn’t just want to be a show about magic for kids, though, so it attempts to sex up the narrative—Alfea is referred to as a “college,” and first-year Bloom is 16, so the characters are slightly older than Harry and his gang, meaning we’ve got less hijinks and more hard-bodied hotties (with apologies to Cedric Diggory). But I don’t see why we couldn’t have both. In addition to the other entertainment properties I’ve mentioned, you may also detect notes of The Vampire Diaries (where Fate: The Winx Saga creator Brian Young cut his teeth as a writer), The Magicians, Buffy, Divergent, X-Men, and even Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars wafting through. But purely in terms of production value, be warned, the show’s monster scenes sometimes had me thinking Power Rangers.
Is there … anything notable about the show’s magical world?
The one mythological aspect of the show I did like was its use of the concept of a changeling, which is when a fairy baby gets switched with a human at birth. This provides the explanation for why Bloom grew up among humans and didn’t know about her powers. I just wish it were enough that Bloom might be the first changeling at her school in ages; why does she also have to be the savior figure?
In addition to fairies, Otherworld has “specialists,” because men can’t be fairies. They’re sort of like warriors or knights; they spend a lot of time with swords. Technically in this world specialists don’t have to be men, but certainly most of the female characters in the show are fairies and most of the male ones specialists. Witches also exist in this world, which I mention mostly so I can link to this witch who reviewed the show for Teen Vogue and bemoaned its inaccuracies. Witches do become a plot point, though, as do something called “Burned Ones,” which are maybe the show’s version of White Walkers.
You said something about hard-bodied hotties—are there at least cute boys and relationships to root for in the show? Advertisement
Nothing super-swoon-worthy, in my opinion. There’s a generic golden-boy character, Sky (Danny Griffin), who immediately has a thing for Bloom, but he used to date one of her roommates, Not Margot Robbie. Riven (Freddie Thorp) struck me as kind of a Chuck Bass type, and Chuck Bass is so retroactively problematic that one doesn’t really know what to do with that, but he’s cute. He’s involved with the show’s mean girl, Beatrix, though he flirts with another one of Bloom’s roommates at one point. I think your main takeaway should be that Robert James-Collier, aka Barrow from Downton Abbey, is in this show, playing a teacher at the school who goes by Silva but who, I am just now seeing, hilariously has the first name Saul. OK, a male fairy named Saul, love it. Barrow deserved better, but it’s nice to see him.
Do we ever figure out what “winx” is? Or what “a Winx” is? What part of speech is “winx”? Popular in Culture
I still cannot for the life of me tell you. Wikipedia, citing a source in Italian, says that when the cartoon was named, the word “was derived from the English word ‘wings,’ and the ‘x’ was intended to evoke the shape and sound of wings.” So I guess it’s not that crazy for a made-up word to be part of the show’s title, since it kind of sounds like wings … but you know what, no, I can’t back down, it is crazy. You can’t just name a show Fate, colon, The Winx Saga and expect us to take it. I confess that I didn’t make it through all the episodes, but apparently Bloom and her roommates officially establish the “Winx club” at the end of the season, which seems rather late to first reference a bizarre made-up word in a show’s title, if you ask me. Via scouring the internet, I also discovered that the girls live in the “Winx suite” of their dorm, but if this was mentioned in the episodes I watched, I certainly missed it. So that kind of covers “winx,” but fate may have it that where the “fate” part of the name comes from shall continue to elude me—which is very rude of fate. Support our independent journalism

Mr. Fang and I were browsing the horror genre on Netflix and found "Sweet Home" (apocalyptic horror South Korean television series). We're about half way through it. It can get a bit gory at times, but the series doesn't rely on that to keep you interested (or scared, lol). There's only one season thus far.

Arielflies, luv and respect you but the author of this review is an idiot. The minute a reviewer sprouts that a character is a "Mary Sue" I bail because I am not a snob about the stories I chose to watch and I don't want to google what the heck it means. Also when the reviewer claims all women are fairies and all men are specialists, but wait not really, but mainly and you get the hair color of the villan wrong tells me you watched this while doing something else and was just scanning the show to write a really crappy review because you wanted to write a really crappy review proving your esthetics are better then the folks watching the show. I watched it, I enjoyed it, I would watch season 2. It wasn't totally terrible. It was entertaining. Believe me I have bailed on some shows.

Watched first two episodes tonight. It's been a while since I had read it and the jumping back and forth in time takes some getting used to, especially if you hadn't read the book. My husband was pretty lost as he didn't know who these people were, both past and present, and I had to keep explaining. I didn't remember that the book wasn't written in a linear timeline.

We watched All my Friends are Dead a Polish horror/comedy film. The reviews were poor but we LOVED it. Think American Pie with plenty of gore. Reading up on it, there are theories of alternate realities. I probably would have to watch it again for that.

Haha, when this series first started I remember coming here (the 'old here') and commenting how surprised I was that these Nova Scotians had such strong British accents, unlike most Canadians. Someone schooled me that this Halifax is in England! Who knew?
