The Undateables is a TV series run by Channel 4 in the UK and surrounds the difficulties with finding love for people with disabilities and other potential life-threatening conditions. It is a light-hearted show meant to entertain yet allows the viewer to sympathise in some cases with the individuals shown within each episode as they battle the complications that dating brings to the table. Disabilities such as Tourettes Syndrome, Autism and Asperges are showcased within different episodes, and these disabilities are presented in a multitude of different ways which communicates the concept that everyone is unique and different, even if they are labelled to act or perform in a certain stereotypical way. Some have argued that the series creates entertainment and comedic value from people's disabilities as they may not conform to what is seen as 'normal' by other peoples standards. According to the Daily Mail's post (which is linked below), doctors have foun

A movie that kicks ass just as much as the main character.   The movie Wonder Woman hit cinemas earlier this year on June 2nd and took the world by storm. It stars the lovely Gal Gadot who can also be known as Giselle in some films in the Fast and Furious franchise. This movie received many positive ratings due to its ability to break down barriers against sexism including doubts some people had with the female director. It is said to be known as one of the best superhero movies of the year as well as being called one of the best films in the DC Extended Universe. It includes a great mixture of action and girl power which I think makes it fair to say that this movie is influential to its female audience. So, what makes this movie so powerful?  This movie in unlike your average superhero film. To start off the main character is a woman and the background basis of the story conveys a deeper representation of women and girl power than most films have before. As wel

The Parent Trap! The parent trap is one of the best movies released in the 90’s, and just about every girl has seen it. Featuring a young Lindsey Lohan, the film follows two identical twin sisters, who were both raised by one of their parents after they split when the girls were babies. After a chance meeting at summer camp, the girls plot a daring plan to bring their parents back together – switch places! At the end of summer camp, Halley takes Annie’s place and goes to London to meet her mother (Natasha Richardson), and Annie flies to California to meet her father (Dennis Quaid). After perfectly faking being the fake child, the twins realise that Nick (the father) is getting married, and hasten to bring their parents to San Francisco to finally reunite, although things don’t go as planned when they find out Nick’s pretentious fiancée (played by Elaine Hendrix) is only marrying Nick for his money. With the whole family converged at a hotel in San Fran, the twins plan

A show that shone a light on topics that were unspoken of. Earlier this year, the world was introduced to a new show called 13 Reasons Why. Everybody was intrigued with this program as it had a different sense to other programs on tv. It spoke about, depicted situations and addressed topics such as suicide, rape, self harm and mental health issues. The show is about a teenage girl who commits suicide and leaves behind 13 tapes that detail why she decided to end her life. Each tape was addressed to a particular person, having recordings explaining how they all contributed to her suicide in some way. Although the show has a dark background, it was still loved by many as it dared to discuss topics that other shows and people in real life shy away from. Although it is somewhat good that these topics were depicted and discussed, there is the underlying question whether the show was more helpful or harmful especially to its young audience. It was shown that the average
