You know that feeling when you’ve been in a relationship long enough that … Read more
I’ll be honest—when I first watched Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite back in 2019, I thought I was prepared for a dark comedy about two families from different worlds.

So here’s a sentence I didn’t think I’d write in 2026: All five seasons of Stranger Things are in Netflix’s global Top 10. At the same time.
