For as long as I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with TV. When I was younger, I felt extremely connected to the characters that came into my living room for hours at a time each week—this was pre-streaming, so that time was very precious. Characters felt like friends and I was crushed when they were hurting, and happy when they were happy. I was one of those kids who was positive that if insert-heartthrob-of-the-early-2000s-here met me, they would want to date me and we’d love happily ever after.

As I got older, that naivety thankfully faded, but my passion for entertainment never did. I was lucky enough to work in Entertainment for almost a decade, helping to market shows and in turn, getting to see the inner-workings of how the shows and characters I loved came to be.

That job was extremely rewarding, but didn’t do much to shut me up when it came to talking about TV—especially since I was legitimately getting paid for it now. But as much as I loved it, I was never able to write about TV from my point of view—it was always on behalf of the shows I was working for.

I was never able to talk about the importance of representation on-screen, or how some shows are able to comment on some of the most important topics of our time, or just that really great episode that made laugh at a time when I needed it.

That is, until now. With this blog, I can talk about how sometimes TV is so much more than words said on-screen by actors. For some people, seeing themselves on-screen can literally save their life.

With this blog I get to put all of my passion for TV into one place, and invite you to do the same. With this blog I get to talk All About Last Night‘s TV and what the characters, storylines and impact mean to me.
