Hey y’all. So tonight’s the night. It’s the last ever episode of Boardwalk Empire and it’s going to be an emotional one.

Hey y’all. So my dissertation has kicked off. I’ve chosen a question, found some things to read and a plan is slowly coming together. Thankfully I’ve been able to worm my way in to doing a question on Breaking Bad. Which, I might add, is by far the best TV programme. I don’t care if […]
