Short AF Series Review | You


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF review on the TV series "You". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free. (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers, however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the series.)



"A clever bookstore manager relies on his savvy Internet know - how to make the woman of his dreams fall in love with him."

Okay so before we get into this review, no IMDB that is not at all what this movie is about. You guys will see exactly what this movie is about once you've watched it. As bad as it sounds, the only reason I watched this movie is because I saw that Shay Mitchell was in it (and I loved her in pretty little liars, so I thought I would love her in this too). I binged this whole series in less than a day, I just could not stop watching. The tv series is gripping, it just keeps pulling you in for more. I love "Beck" as a character and find her somewhat relatable. The ending of the series had me right on the edge of my seat and whilst I'm not very happy with what happened... I understood why it did and that cliffhanger definitely left me wanting more. I love the way they portray Joe and how his character develops (Don't get me wrong, I know he's not a good character, I just like the way they portray him to be somewhat "good"

I cannot give this tv series enough praise, it's been a little while since I've seen a crime tv show entice me this much (other than "how to get away with murder" but we'll talk about that another day.) Please give this movie a try and let me know what you think of it. I give this series an 8/10 (only because of the ending).

What did you think of this series? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Have you watched this series yet? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day.

Short AF Movie Review | Bird Box


Hey guys so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Bird Box". As usual this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests) and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Five years after an ominous unseen presence drives most of society to suicide, a mother and her two children make a desperate bid to reach safety"

So this movie has been advertised everywhere since it was announced that it was going to be put onto netflix, so as you can imagine the hype for this was real. It has some amazing actors in, was a "psychological horror" and just had so much hype around. So I decided to watch it almost the moment it came out on netflix. Boy, this movie was so good. It's not very often that I enjoy horrors because I hate jump scares and I'm not good with scary stuff unless it's books. There wasn't many jump scares in this movie, but, if you're not good with suicide please do not watch this movie because there is quite a bit of it in this movie and it's done in a lot of different ways. If you love psychological horrors/thrillers I would definitely recommend this movie to you. The ending of this movie has had a lot of different reactions but personally I loved it. The only thing to me that was kind of disappointing is that we never got to see what the creatures looked like, however that also made it kind of more scary. (Also the fact that Sandra Bullock couldn't stop laughing when they were supposed to see the creatures probably means it was a good thing that it wasn't shown). Please, if you get the chance too, watch it! You won't be disappointed! I give this movie a 10/10!

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!

Have a wonderful day,

Short AF Movie Review | Nappily Ever After


Hey guys, so today I'm going to be doing a short AF movie review on the movie "Nappily Ever After". As usual, this review is going to be short and sweet (like the title suggests), and spoiler free (However there will be the IMDB synopsis in this and sometimes they can contain spoilers however 9/10 times they don't. It's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on watching the movie)


"Violet Jones tired of waiting for her longtime boyfriend to propose, breaks up with him. But old feelings, and heaps of jealousy, no doubt, arise when he promptly begins dating another woman."

This movie has had so much hype behind it so I thought I'd give it a watch. It was actually worth every bit of hype that it was given. There's a lot of things about this movie that I'm not going to talk about because I personally can't. Honestly though, this is the most uplifting, positive, self loving movie I've watched in a long time. It was also amazing to watch a new bunch of actors that I've never seen in anything else before (other than Ricky Whittle who I've seen in both Hollyoaks as Calvin when I was younger and now American gods as Shadow. I also honestly hated him in this movie which I'm not happy about because he's the sweetest little cinnamon bun in both Hollyoaks and American gods but it was great to see that sort of acting from himself.). I loved watching Violet's journey of self love and how she turned into a strong, independent woman through the movie. I think young girls everywhere should watch this movie. 10/10 for me definitely.

Have you watched this movie yet? If you did, what did you think of it? Do you have any movies, series or books you'd recommend for me to watch/read or want me to do a short AF review on? Please let me know down in the comments below!
