week 1 Assignment 3

I thought these readings were quite fun and interesting to read. The articles touched base on critics being biased towards a certain television show. The two articles shines a light on the ethical actions of the critics. You shouldn't try to praise a television show just because you want to please the fans of the show or just because you were in the cast. When you are a critic, your job is to write about what you truly think about the show whether it's good or bad and it shouldn't be influenced outer source. Like any other job, critics have a a personal duty to tell the truth no matter what the outcome might be because of it, even if it means losing readers. Besides, if it weren't for critics pointing out flaws then directors and actors might not know what they need to improve on.

For the first link that I had clicked on was called "Pop-culture scholar." It was basically a short article about cultural learnings which is a blog that places the show "within the context of the series, the season, its genre, and on occasion broad literary and cultural philosophies." The thing that I found interesting about this is that it doesn't spoil anything for the readers and is subjective for them. The second link that I clicked on was "cameo appearance on Community." It's basically a blog about how this critic enjoyed this show right after being casted as one of the extras. I just found this interesting because it was part of the discussion about how critics can sometimes be biased and I think that this is a fine example of that.
