Criminal Minds: Pleasure Is My Business (2009)
One of the best
Definitely one of the best episodes of CM, in my opinion. It isn't a cut and dry story about a sex worker; its complexity makes it very intriguing. And Hotch's performance at the end with Megan is incredible. The actress of Megan is also truly fantastic. Great team work in the episode, too.
The Good Place (2016)
Loved
I do love this show, but I mostly loved seasons 1 (especially) and 2. The character growth is something to really appreciate, and the characters are all hilarious and brilliant actors. It was an interesting premise for a show and I especially loved how different it was compared to most comedy shows nowadays. It's light hearted mostly, good acting, and overall a funny show to watch. If you're in the mood to binge watch, The Good Place should be on your list.
Hello, Privilege. It's Me, Chelsea (2019)
Embarrassing
I used to like Chelsea Handler, waaaaay back when she first started her talk show. But after a few seasons, she became a drag. She might be a comedian, but her humor came off as forcefully sarcastic. Nothing new when it comes to this doc. I'm sure she thought it would be taken as a good intentioned thing, but it just wasn't. It's not worth an hour of anyones time. It's embarrassing for people of any race. She talks more about her priviledge and tries to make a joke out of it than she does about the real life issues POC face daily. She also makes it seem like every POC faces extreme issues and that's simply not true. Just an overall embarassment that should be taken off Netflix.
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
Beautiful Show
I've watched this series several times. It is definitely one of my favorite series created ever. Perfect cast, beautiful storyline, absolutely hilarious, and unique from any other show I have seen regardless if the riches to rags thing has been told before. Watching the show was not only hysterical, but the growth of the characters, the relationships, etc is inspiring to see. The inclusive cast was fantastic. The LGBTQ story wasn't broadcasted as the highlight, which was refreshing. They weren't trying to say anything like "WE MATTER TOO!!!" they said it WITHOUT having to be too aggressive about it. It's hard to describe, but they effortlessly show how loving everyone should be of every orientation, race, gender, etc. The relationships are all absolutely beautiful. The equality shown in this show is unbelievably amazing. The humor, growth, story, characters, etc are so amazing in this show are only a few of the reasons you should watch it. Brilliant show. Sad it ended after 6 seasons!
Dave Chappelle: Sticks & Stones (2019)
My Favorite Stand Up Special Ever
Dave Chappelle has always been my favorite comedian. This special made me laugh the entire time. Chappelle has a way of making things that could he considered "offensive" in this day and age seem actually hilarious. You can tell he is an open minded, loving, intelligent, and genuinely passionate person in this special, too. As someone who identifies as part of the LGBTQ community, his jokes about it did not feel offensive whatsoever. They were in good humor, and SO FUNNY. He makes such solid points in reality, and his jokes, even the ones who some people would say are offensive, are clearly light hearted and he doesn't mean ACTUALLY offensively. He is. a brilliant comedian, and there is a reason he is given so many opportunities in the comedy world as well as the "real" world. Fantastic special. He has several others that I love as well, but this one is by far my favorite! Must see for everyone (unless you're a child)
Criminal Minds (2005)
100% Amazing
Every series has their "blah" episodes, but Criminal Minds stayed extremely amazing throughout all the changes. When Thomas Gibson (Hotch) left, it sucked. But they picked up, and did well. Rossi was a great addition after Gideon decided to leave, and ended up being one of my favorite characters. JJ's growth in the show is undeniably inspiring. Reid is just jaw dropping gorgeous, brilliant, and hilarious. Emily Prentiss is probably the best addition to the show. When she left those few times, the show dropped in quality. She ended up making the show what it is. Penelope was the light in darkness, and fantastic at playing it. Aisha Tyler (Lewis) was a GREAT addition. She became one of my favorites very quickly. So smart, beautiful, strong and fit in well. Luke and Matt were always great, but felt a little rushed in their character growth stories. This show is genuinely fantastic. Unlike most criminal focused shows, it adds depth, love, and happiness. The episodes aren't always great (as any show), but they did so well making 90% of the entire series absolutely amazing. I used to think SVU was the best, but changed my mind quickly when I started Criminal Minds. I've seen the whole series several times, especially the first 9 seasons, and will forever credit this as my favorite series.
Criminal Minds: Family Tree (2020)
Once again...
They used two storylines about the perpetrator being delusional in a row, which I wasn't fond of. But the episode wasn't bad. Definitely not great, but some parts were good. This is also after JJ talks about taking a job in New Orleans and shows Pen trying to sort her feelings about it. Overall, 5/10.
Criminal Minds: Rusty (2020)
Yikes
I absolutely love Criminal Minds, but this episode makes me laugh more than I would like while watching a crime show. That goat suit? Please. The storyline is a little atypical, but it was still ridiculous and not well written. Acting is fine. After 15 seasons, I realize they start to run out of storylines, but ugh. This episode just didn't do it for me.
Pretty Little Liars (2010)
Solid 7 Star Show
I've seen this series so many times I lost count. Especially Seasons 1-5. I absolutely love it. I'm older now, but still can appreciate why I was so addicted to it. The growth in the characters was amazing, the relationships were fantastic, and the "mysteries" were good. The season finale was questionable (I didn't like it), but the story as a whole was good. Up until S7,I adored this show. You need to have a specific taste in shows, possibly age, to watch and enjoy this, but I loved it. Plus, all the actors and actresses were gorgeous.
The Office (2005)
Favorite Series of All Time
How anyone could rate this show negatively is beyond me. The first thing we all need to appreciate: THERE WAS NO LAUGH TRACK. Thank god. But beyond that, the cast was perfectly casted: and I mean perfect. Each character was absolutely amazing, even if they were supposed to be disliked (ex: Todd Packer, Charles Miner). This show has brought so much happiness and laughter to so many lives, and the writing, acting, EVERYTHING was just absolutely perfect. I've watched the series about 35 times, and I'm fully aware of the "dud" episodes, but there are probably 4 BAD episodes out of the entire series. I'm also aware season 8 and 9 aren't as good because Steve Carell left, but those seasons did have so many episodes that involved the growth of characters, their personalities, work ethic, goals, etc. Overall, this show was absolutely brilliant. Each episode, bad or good, had so much depth to it. After season 1, when people started to understand Michael Scott, it was much better. Seeing so many of the endings for these characters was amazing. They made it hilarious, heartwarming, and loveable. I have not met one person who says they don't like The Office.

Criminal Minds: Chameleon (2019)
Rossi
I've never been a big fan of the "Chameleon" storyline (all the way till the end), but this episode was good. Rossi did well showing his angst and regret, and I love his relationship with Krystall.
