I’m Michael Gray and I write Shades, a weekly newsletter covering visual entertainment across a variety of platforms; from linear 📺TV📺 and 🎬movies🎬 to interactive experiences like 🕹video games🕹 and 🥽VR🥽. I have a degree in Media Studies and still can’t shake the need to dig deeper into every piece of entertainment I come across. Now I’m sharing my analysis with you.
What you can expect
Entertainment news - thoughts on entertainment stories
Previews - hopes and fears from trailers and demos
Reviews - spoilers are clearly marked and left for the end
Watercooler - brief catch-ups of what I’ve been filling my time with
Retrospectives - a thing from the past, likely tying into something from today
What you can’t expect
From time to time I may have a hankering for exploring a particular entertainment topic more in-depth. Like what on earth is going on with streaming release models of TV shows? Is binge-watching still the new hotness? Is week-to-week making a comeback? How do we feel about the 3-episode drop?
