Review: “The Last Of Us”

By Hermione G. “The Last Of Us” is a TV series on HBO Max based on the dystopian video game of the same name starring Pedro Pascal, Bella Ramsey, Gabriel Luna, and many more actors. This show takes place a few years after 2003 when there’s an outbreak of a fungus that turns people into these zombie-like creatures called the “clickers” or the “infected.” The main protagonists are tasked with a very important mission that could change everything.

Review: ‘Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’

By Hermione G. “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” is a limited TV series on Netflix about serial killer Jeffery Dahmer.

The first seven episodes show how Dahmer, who is played by Emmy-award winner Evan Peters, finally got caught for all of his murders. The rest of the show
