The Best British Netflix Show You Haven't Watched Yet

"Crazyhead" is the perfect mix of "Buffy" and "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt."

The Best British Netflix Show You Haven't Watched Yet
Channel 4 BBC

If you've spent enough time browsing through Netflix, you've probably seen your fair share of strange shows. There are Korean westerns, Romances from India, and a lot of random sitcoms and dramas in between. Not all of it is terribly amazing, but there are always gems to be found. And one of the best gems is "Crazyhead."

Pictured above are the protagonists of the series, Raquel and Amy, two relatively normal women who it turns out can see demons. Amy believes she is hallucinating, and runs into Raquel at the mental hospital. Raquel has no doubt the demons are real, and does her best to help Amy come to terms with it. Soon, they catch the attention of a group of demons that are hatching an evil plan. There are twists and turns as these women come to terms with demons walking around southern England, but at the core of this series it is a raucously funny show - with a lot of heart and personality mixed in.

Raquel is a socially awkward misfit, and her directness comes across as a better written Sheldon Cooper. She is aggressive and confident in everything in her life, but when it comes to talking to this new girl Amy, she has moments where she realizes she may be coming on too strong and sounding crazy.

Amy, on the other hand, is perfectly average. She works at a bowling alley, staves off the annoying flirtations of her co-worker, and goes to parties with her roommate. We follow her growth as she realizes these demons are real, and see an incredible friendship blossom between her and Raquel.

Really, Amy's heart is the core of the show, and even though she is terrified of what is happening, she perseveres to help her friends. Even the jerk co-worker takes up a place in her heart. Just as a friend, though.

The leading actresses are incredible, who you may recognize from other British shows. Most notably, Cara Theobold (Amy) is the voice of Tracer in Blizzards hit video game Overwatch.

If you ever tire of binging "Supernatural" or "Buffy," (though how could you?) "Crazyhead" is a wonderful step in a slightly different, more crass and humorous, direction.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
