"Think for a minute about what makes you fabulous and how you can celebrate it." (Laura Mercier)
Hello, my lovely friends!
Prepare yourselves, because my television palette is a chaotic masterpiece of high-stakes drama, supernatural shenanigans, and just enough soap opera suds to keep things bubbly. I’ve never been one to stick to a single genre; some nights I want a show that challenges my very perception of reality, and other nights I just want to watch beautiful people make terrible life choices in expensive houses. My viewing habits are essentially a tug-of-the-war between my desire for intellectual stimulation and my primal need for campy, unadulterated chaos.
We might as well start with the heavy hitters of the eerie and the unexplained. If a show doesn't involve a moral dilemma or a monster in the woods, am I even really watching? I’m still hopelessly devoted to the unsettling brilliance of The Twilight Zone and its spiritual ancestor, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which proved decades ago that the scariest things aren't under the bed, they're usually hiding in plain sight. From there, I dive headfirst into the supernatural deep end with True Blood and Grimm, because apparently, I have a thing for folklore, fangs, and the occasional shirtless werewolf.
When I’m not exploring the shadows, I’m busy losing myself in sprawling epics and the inevitable heartbreak they provide. Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead both taught me the valuable lesson of never getting too attached to anyone with a pulse, while Haven kept me guessing with its delightfully weird small-town mysteries. It’s a stressful way to spend an evening, sure, but there’s nothing like a little "impending doom" to make my own night laundry pile seem significantly less threatening.
Finally, we have to acknowledge the guilty pleasures that aren't actually guilty at all, they’re essential. Sometimes you need to trade the dragons and zombies for the polished silver of Downton Abbey, just to feel a bit more refined before descending back into the glorious, messy drama of Desperate Housewives and Melrose Place. There is a specific kind of magic in watching suburban secrets unravel or 90s apartment complex dwellers sabotage each other, and frankly, I wouldn’t have it any other way. My top ten list is a bit of a mood ring, and right now, the vibe is "expertly curated mayhem."
