Why You Should Watch "Dark" on Netflix
Pinterest.com

A little over a year ago, I stumbled across a random series on Netflix called "Dark." I was unsure if I would like it or not at first because it seemed to move at a slow pace. It was also weird to watch the actors' lips move, yet the English words that I heard didn't match up with their lip movements. This show is probably the most confusing show I've ever watched in my life, but re-watching episodes to understand is definitely worth it.

One of the many reasons I enjoy this series so much is because it provides a perfect balance between mystery and sci-fi/thriller. A boy in a small town is taken, and you think it's just like any other child abduction show, but somehow it warps into a show about parallel universes. Having always been interested in parallel universe theories, this show achieved at quickly catching my interest.

Each episode provides you with a clue to the solution, and you're also provided little snippets of the past, present, and future, which cease to be very critical in this series.

The best thing about this show in my opinion, is the fact that there are so many unanswered questions. As the plot thickens and you get more into it, every episode leaves you with an outrageous cliffhanger, making you beg for more.

I would compare this show to "Black Mirror" on Netflix because it contains similar concepts, but definitely more dramatic than "Black Mirror." If you're looking for something new to watch, that isn't extremely gore-y and poorly directed, "Dark" is definitely the show for you.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
