  Pop culture · Period drama · 7 min read I binged four seasons in a weekend (and I don’t know why it took me so long to enjoy the Bridgerton world).  Now, I am obsessed! Then  I immediately started rewatching the 1995 Pride and Prejudice – one of my favourite period dramas. Here’s what happened. Let me be honest with you. I was never out of love with Pride and Prejudice. I only resisted Bridgerton for a long time because of my love of the classics. The pastel gowns, the Phoebe Bridgers string arrangements of Taylor Swift songs, the sheer audacity of it all — I told myself it wasn’t for me. Then, a long weekend, with not much to do, and a rather empty queue later, I pressed play. I did not stop. OH MY! By episode three of season one, I was emotionally invested in a Duke I’d known for forty-five minutes. By episode six, I was pausing to look up the historical accuracy of diamond tiaras. By the time the credits rolled on the finale, I had already opened another tab to order...

  Why Romance Matters at the Oscars (Even When It’s Not Obvious) When  Hamnet  earned multiple Oscar nominations this year, the conversation quickly turned to its historical significance, its literary pedigree, and Jessie Buckley’s devastating performance. What few people discussed was the beating heart of the film: a marriage shaped by love, loss, and the silences that define intimacy. It’s a perfect example of how the 2026 Oscars celebrate romance — just not in the way most people expect. Every awards season, the same question circles film Twitter, book clubs, and group chats: Where are the love stories? This year’s nominations, stacked with ambitious epics and technically dazzling achievements, seem light on traditional romance. Yet if you look closely, love is everywhere — driving characters’ choices, shaping their grief, defining their entire lives. Romance as Narrative Engine, Not Genre Decoration When people imagine “romantic films,” they picture candlelit dinners,...

                                                                   I’ve always loved the tale that Hamnet, Shakespeare’s son, was the inspiration for one of his most famous plays, Hamlet, where his son, Hamnet, is synonymous with the play. In my  Midsummer  Night’s, I take a more internal view, leading to Shakespeare’s famous play. Mostly inspired by The Sandman, by Neil Gaiman, and Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell. Hamnet : From Page to Screen — A Shakespeare Story Retold Release Date:  Premiered theatrically in the U.S. late 2025;  Hamnet  expands into UK cinemas in early January 2026 (so it’s still hot in theatres around January 26). There’s a particular kind of buzz crackling through cinemas and bookshops this winter. Oscar-winning director  Chloé Zhao ...

  The World  Series 2025: The Epic Climb of the Los Angeles Dodgers When a team creates its own legacy, the process is rarely straightforward. In 2025, the Dodgers achieved this with a thrilling 5-4 victory in Game 7 of the World Series, securing back-to-back championships. This made them the first Major League Baseball team to accomplish this feat since the New York Yankees, who did so from 1998 to 2000. A comeback story for the ages The series was not simply handed to the Dodgers. In fact, they entered the finale trailing in multiple aspects. They were behind in the series itself and also trailing in the game. In the ninth inning of Game 7, they found themselves down 4-3 when Miguel Rojas stepped up and hit a home run to tie the game, forcing it into extra innings. Then came a moment that will resonate in Dodger history: with two outs in the 11th inning, Will Smith hit the first-ever extra-innings home run in a winner-take-all World Series game. That swing ultimately secured...
