Daenerys Targaryen and Walter White are two of the most compelling, well-written anti-heroes in TV history in my not-so-humble opinion. They also star in two of the world's greatest TV

The Struggles of Being an Anti-Woke Person of Colour

By zarinamacha April 21, 2021April 18, 2023
2021 / Racial Issues / Social Commentary

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of the term ‘person of colour’, however I am using it because everyone understands what I mean by it and it will help SEO etc. Wow-ee-ka-za-rii. I consider myself a left-leaning person and always have. In the UK I vote for the Labour party. […]

Diversity in Fiction

By zarinamacha March 28, 2021April 19, 2023
2021 / Racial Issues

Diversity in fiction is important, but it shouldn’t be ‘forced’ or for diversity’s sake. One of the many things I love about Black Panther is that it doesn’t go out of its way to tell you that it’s about African people. It simply shows its pride for those of African […]

What A Real Women’s Movement Could Be

By zarinamacha March 12, 2021April 18, 2023
2021 / Feminism

Discussing the Awful Ending of Dexter

By zarinamacha February 8, 2021February 8, 2021
2021 / Books Films Music TV

In 2020 I watched the TV series Dexter with my partner, who had seen it years before. We finished it earlier this year. I understand that Dexter came out years ago, and writing about it years after it ended sounds a little pointless. Or does it? Season 9 is coming […]

I love TV shows. For me, television is about connecting with characters and engaging storylines. As a writer and viewer, I love analysing character behaviour and getting engrossed in well-written dramas. On this blog I have written a lot about my favourite TV shows. I have discussed characters who touched […]
