Bridgerton: Your Favorite Old-Fashioned yet Modern TV Show

BY: Isadora Nicolai If you are looking for something easy to binge-watch on a lazy Sunday, I’ve got just the show for you. I introduce you to Bridgerton, a Netflix show based on the novels written by Julia Quinn. The show tells the story of the Bridgerton family, the children of the late English Viscount Bridgerton. The story is set between 1813 and 1827. As of now, Netflix has released two seasons of the eleven-part series. Each of the books tells the story of a sibling, sot is expected that by the end of the show each book will have its individual season. Season One follows the story of the first debutante of the family, Daphne, as she makes her debut in Regency London's competitive marriage market. Reading the plot, you would think that it is most likely a very sexist novel in wh...

Binge Watching and You

BY: Caitlin Gallagher Netflix, naps and snacks—this used to be a perfect Sunday. I would start a new series as quickly as I finished the first. I could not watch an episode fast enough. If you are like me, binge-watching can quickly become an everyday occurrence. What if I told you that binge-watching negatively affects your health? Your mental and physical health could be suffering. Northwestern Medicine compiled a list of negative effects of binge-watching that include: a “drug-like high”, isolation, insomnia, anxiety and depression, back pain, weight gain and risk of heart disease. Some of these may seem really extreme, but as the epidemic of binge-watching grows, so does the risk for all of these. In a survey released by Netflix, 73 percent of people felt happy as they bin...
