I was 12 years old when Queer As Folk debuted on Channel 4. I was in my formative years, everything was confusing and everything was strange. Puberty is a mess for everyone!

Well, here we are; it’s the season finale of American Gods. This review is a bit late, so my apologies for that. I got sidetracked by life, and I also didn’t know what to say. I’ve been struggling to find words for this review ever since I watched the episode. Though that might be because […]
