Viewers can’t get enough: Netflix’s 100% rated series racks up 142.9 million hours

It turns out there’s a Netflix series with a 100% Rotten Tomatoes score that viewers have only just discovered.

The truth is, the platform offers so much content that choosing the right film or series is often easier said than done. I’m sure you’ve found yourself scrolling through the endless list, unsure how to spend your free time and wondering whether a title is truly worth a try.

This series, however, has quickly become a fan favorite, with many stumbling upon it purely by chance.

Although originally released on CBS before debuting internationally on Netflix in 2018, Kim’s Convenience only caught the attention of many years later, racking up 142.9 million viewing hours between 2023 and 2025.

It features the everyday lives of a Korean-Canadian family running a neighborhood convenience store in downtown Toronto.

The story revolves around Mr. Kim, affectionately called “Appa,” whose stubborn streak is matched only by his sense of humor, and Mrs. Kim, or “Umma,” warm-hearted but just as determined.

Together, they juggle life in a city of many cultures while managing their store and raising their two children: Janet, an independent photography student, and Jung, their estranged son working to mend family ties after a troubled past.

The series stands out by depicting interactions between different minority communities, humorously addressing tensions that are rarely portrayed on television. It provides a heartfelt and entertaining narrative that feels more genuine than many traditional family sitcoms.

Actually, the name of this sitcom popped up too many times when a Reddit user asked netizens about a series they “stumbled upon with zero expectations but ended up loving.”

Speaking of Kim’s Convenience, a Redditor posted, “Such a great show!” while another added: “Fabulous!”

A third chimed in, “Watched the first season in a day and it really made me happy. A screwball comedy, old school vibe and I am loving it.”

Another comment read: “Love it. Just stumbled by it on Netflix. So well done, so well written, beautiful characters. One of the best comedies I have ever seen.”

Sadly, despite the ratings, the show wrapped up after the fifth season.

If you want to check it out and see what all the buzz is about, all seasons are now streaming on Netflix in the US and UK.

Mehlani’s transformation: From ‘alien’ eyes to embracing uniqueness

By

Monica Pop

Mehlani Dickerson, a young girl from the US, has a rare genetic disorder called Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome which make her eyes look enchantingly big and beautiful. However, having this condition means that she can develop glaucoma at certain point in her life, and even vision loss or blindness.

In fact, the syndrome represents a rare genetic disorder that causes cornea defects and iris defects. According to the National Institute of Health, people diagnosed with it “may have an off-center pupil (corectopia) or extra holes in the eyes that can look like multiple pupils (polycoria).”

It mostly develops at infants who are diagnosed with the condition during the first days or weeks of their lives, just like Mehlani.

Mehlani’s left eye shows a faint trace of iris in one corner, while the rest is entirely pupil—just like her right eye. Her eyes, just like those of the rest of the people with Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome, are sensitive to light.

Mehlani’s mother, Karina, shared a photo of her daughter that quickly grabbed the attention of many due to her unusually big eyes. And it’s not only people online who have been captivated by her appearance, but also strangers on the street.

“People always say she’s so beautiful and she’s s cute, but I felt conflicted because people notice something different about her eyes,” Karina says.

“And I worry about when she gets approached by any other kids about her eyes … kids can be mean. But I teach her when people compliment her to say “thank you” and smile.”

“Everytime were out & a stranger compliments on how big & beautiful her eyes are, I have a mental debate on whether or not I should mention her defect. I decide no, smile & say thank you. I’m always left with a weird feeling. I just pray she’ll always know how beautiful she is,” Karina posted on the social media.

Mehlani was diagnosed with glaucoma, but at this point, her vision isn’t suffering thanks to a surgery she had when she was just five months old. Mehlani’s eyes had abnormally formed drainage canals, causing fluid buildup that intensified her glaucoma. Without surgical intervention, her optic nerves might have been permanently damaged. Now, however, thanks to artificial canals, her eye pressure has remained stable.

Her mom says that they don’t know what the future holds for their little girl.

When she’s outside, Mehlani needs to wear sunglasses because her eyes are more sensitive to sunlight than a normal eye due to the glaucoma.

Through the social media, Karina and her husband found a community of support where they share experiences with others who have the same condition as their daughter.

I almost left after seeing our baby, but my wife’s secret changed everything

By

Monica Pop

-

After years of waiting, trying, and praying, Elena and I were finally going to become parents. I couldn’t wait for the moment I would hold our baby in my arms, but when that day finally arrived, I was met with shock and disbelief.

“Honey,” Elena said one day, “I think I want to be all by myself in the delivery room.”

Her words weren’t something I expected to hear. Why wouldn’t she want me there, I wondered. But she said she needed to do it alone, so I agreed.

A couple of days later, we went to the hospital. I kissed Elena at the entrance to the maternity ward and all I could do was wait.

Finally, the doctor emerged, but the expression on his face said something was wrong. As I headed to Elena’s room, my heart plummeted.

I felt relieved when I saw Elena was fine.

She had our baby in her arms, but her usually bubbly demeanor was nowhere to be seen.

She looked at me straight in the eyes and showed me our baby girl. The little one had pale skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. My heart dropped. “YOU CHEATED!” I yelled.

“Marcus, I can explain,” Elena said as she tried to grab my hand.

My world spun. Both she and I are two black people, and our child was white.

She tried to convince me that baby was ours, but I couldn’t understand how that could be.

“Don’t lie to me, Elena, this couldn’t be my girl. I’m not an idiot,” I screamed from the top of my lungs.

The nurses around us tried to calm the situation, but I felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest.

“Marcus, please take a look at this,” Elena said, pointing to the tiny birthmark on my daughter’s feet. It was the same birthmark my brother and I have – exactly the same.

“There’s something I need to tell you. Something I should have told you years ago,” Elena said, and that’s when I learned she carried a rare recessive gene that could cause a child to have pale skin and light features, regardless of the parents’ appearance.

She said she didn’t tell me before because she believed the chances of our baby being born white were slim.

I started at the baby girl. Her birthmark should have been proof enough she was mine, but I experienced a rollercoaster of emotions I struggled to juggle with.

Elena’s words sound genuine. I trusted her, and soon, my anger was replaced with feelings stronger that any other, that of love and trust.

When we brought our little bundle of joy home, we knew we would face the judgement of my part of the family, but we never assumed their criticism would be so harsh.

Both my mother and brother called me an idiot who was letting his wife fool him, telling me I should face the facts that that baby wasn’t mine.

What’s most, they laughed at the story of the gene Elena carried, saying it wasn’t something real but nonsense.

One night, I heard the door of my daughter’s room open, so I went to check what was going on. It was my mom, she had a damp washcloth in her hands, trying to rub off my baby’s birthmark in order to show me Elena was lying to me.

That’s when I realized I had it enough.

I told my mom to leave my home. “Mom, you either accept our baby or get out of our lives,” I yelled at her.

Elena was woken up by the screams. She started crying and I apologized for not standing up to her sooner.

“Marcus, for everyone’s peace of mind, I think we should do a DNA test,” Elena said.

I knew that we didn’t need to prove anything to anyone, but I agreed.

As expected, the results showed the little one was our baby. I was her biological father.

When we showed the test results to my family, they all apologized. Some of those apologies were heartfelt, and others were awkward.

At that moment, I felt a sense of peace settle over me. My family might be different, but it’s mine, and it’s perfect.

A research reveals your body knows when death is near, and it all starts in the nose

By

-

Despite years of research and the advance of techology, there are some things about human’s body that still remain a mystery for doctors and researchers. Knowing how complex our bodies are, this doesn’t really come as a surprise.

As some of us have what we call a sixth sense and can predict things in advance, a recent research revealed that we can also sense when death is approaching. Scientists say that when someone dies, the body immediately begins to break down. During these moments, putrescine, a foul and toxic scent that is the result of decomposition, is released. Apparently, humans subconsciously recognize this putrefying odor. Not only that, the scent, when released, causes an immediate response.

Two researchers, Arnaud Wisman from the University of Kent’s School of Psychology in Canterbury, UK and Ilan Shira from the Department of Behavioral Sciences in Arkansas’ Tech University in Russellville, AK, say that just like animals, humans can sense scents and then act accordingly. At the end of the day, that’s part of survival across the species.

When humans are exposed to the odor of putrescine, they express a conscious and subconscious reaction to it.

Some of the experiments conducted by these two researchers revealed that when people are exposed to the scent of putrescine, they move away, just like the animals which either run away or fight when they sense danger.

“We do not know why we like (or dislike) someone’s smell, and we’re usually not aware of how scent influences our emotions, preferences, and attitudes,” Wisman and Shira explain.

“It is hard to think of a scent as frightening,” other researchers claim. However, scents do make people more vigilant of their surroundings.

Sex pheromones, which are defined as odors produced by either males or females, that stimulate one or more behavioral reactions in the opposite sex, bringing the males and females together for the purpose of mating are just another example of the effect of scent at humans.

“Putrescine signals a different type of message than pheromones, but people’s responses to putrescine (avoidance and hostility) do seem indeed to be the opposite of responses to many sexual pheromones,” researchers explain. At the same time, the researchers explain that humans are not aware o the odor and don’t consciously associate it with death or fear.

Melania Trump’s bikini photo turns heads — The contrast with Michelle and Jill is striking

She once walked the runways of Milan, now she walks the halls of the White House.

One thing about Melania Trump we can all agree on is that she’s anything but ordinary. Her transformation from a small-town Slovenian girl to one of America’s most recognizable First Ladies is one reserved for a Hollywood script. While she largely avoids the public spotlight, her beauty, style, and enigmatic presence continue to captivate public attention. Whether admired for her fashion choices or speculated about for her skincare and beauty regimen, Melania Trump remains one of the most talked-about women in the world.

Recently, an old bikini photo of a young Melania reemerged, triggering many comments.

A post shared by MelaniaTrumpStyle (@melaniatrumpstyle)

“Wow. Beautiful Lady and Fashion Model. Not many who look like this and are so blessed. She seems beautiful inside and out,” one fan wrote.

“They always start posting photos of her when she was modeling. Look at the way models are today. Melania is beautiful and classy and I hope she’s our first lady again,” another person added.

“THAT BEAUTY OF WOMAN 🌺🌺🌺🤩🤩🤩,” third chimed in.

Some even noted that compared to Jill and Michelle, also two stunning former First Ladies, Melania is the only one whose bikini photo have emerged on the social media.

Not long ago, the story of Trump asking from his wife to walk around Mar-a-Lago in a bikini to show his friends “what they were missing” reemerged after the Australian 60 Minutes leaked audio clip obtained from Australian Billionaire Anthony Pratt in 2023. In it, Pratt recalled, “Then, Melania said, back to him: ‘I’ll do that when you walk around with me in your bikini.'”

At the time, Trump took to the social media to blast the report as “Fake News,” calling Pratt a “red-haired weirdo.”

“I never spoke to him about Submarines, but I did speak to him about creating jobs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, because that’s what I’m all about – JOBS, A GREAT ECONOMY, LOW TAXES, NO INFLATION, ENERGY DOMINANCE, STRONG BORDERS, NO ENDLESS WARS, LOW INTEREST RATES, and much more! Maggie Hagerman and the Misfits never called me for a comment. Why would they, they just write anything they want. Whether it’s correct or not is of ZERO importance to them. All the News That’s Unfit To Print. That’s why we call it the Fake News!” he posted on Truth Social at the time.

Woman, 20, found dead on bus with 26 iPhones taped to her body as disturbing theory emerges

By

Monica Pop

A 20-year-old woman died in a bus after she fell ill during a long-distance travel from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo in Brazil. Allegedly, she started feeling unwell when the bus stopped at a restaurant in Guarapuava, in the central region of Paraná.

She started complaining of breathing difficulties and was treated by Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU) workers. However, it didn’t take long before she suffered a seizure and despite the attempts by the medics to revive her, she passed away.

The strangest thing surrounding the dead woman was that she had 26 iPhones glued to her body.

The phones were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service.

Inside her luggage there were several bottles of alcohol, but no presence of drugs.

According to authorities, she was traveling alone.

At the time being, the woman’s exact cause of death has also been under investigation. She did suffer a seizure and went into a cardiac arrest, but it is yet to be determined what caused the heavy breathing that forced her heart to stop working.

“The Paraná Civil Police are investigating the case and awaiting the conclusion of forensic reports to clarify the cause of death. According to preliminary information, the woman, who was alone, was traveling from Foz do Iguaçu to São Paulo. The 26 cell phones that were glued to her body were seized and sent to the Federal Revenue Service,” police said, according to Brazilian news outlet Globo, as reported by Mirror.

Further, authorities said that the late woman, whose identity hasn’t been revealed to the public, was likely involved in smuggling goods.

At church, I noticed an adult woman with lots of tattoos and body piercings, and it made me feel uncomfortable

By

Monica Pop

-

A female churchgoer shared a story of a woman who visited the church and attended the service one Sunday but her body was covered in tattoos and she had all sorts of piercings. The person sharing the story believed the woman neither looked nor was dressed appropriately for church.

For the churchgoer, the place of worship has always been synonymous with modesty and reverence so she believed the tattooed woman didn’t belong there. She felt strong urge to object, so she approached her after service and told her her looks wasn’t appropriate for the house of God, to what the woman replied, “How I look has nothing to do with you.”

These words made the churchgoer question her act. She wondered if she was right to feel the discomfort that stemmed from outdated beliefs rather than any real issue. She asked herself if the modern times brought the need to reconsider our assumptions about what is and what’s not appropriate to wear to church, the place where we reach to God and practice our beliefs.

The truth is that nowadays plenty of people express their creativity and personality through tattoos, so are we on the wrong to judge them for their way of self-expression?

The question that floats in the air is whether there should be a standard dress code for those who attend a service at the church and try to be closer to God by visiting his sanctuary.

Some people dress modestly because they believe they show respect for the sacredness of the place that way. Others, however, don’t think that our clothing matters because the faith is all about acceptance, compassion, and unity.

We should never forget that every person who tries to find solace at the House of God brings their personal history with them, and the tattoos, the piercings, and the unconventional clothing simply reflects their true selves and their life journey, as well as their personal struggles.

However, while valuing individuality is essential, respecting the church as a holy place is also very important.

Balancing respect for tradition with the embrace of personal expression can create a more inclusive worship space where everyone feels appreciated and welcomed.

In order to promote mutual understanding, churches may consider encouraging attire that maintains a balance between personal expression and respect for the sacred space.

Churchgoers should dress in whatever makes them feel comfortable as long as the choice of outfit is respectful to the church. This approach would let individuals respect their own style and the traditional values at the same time.

At the end of the day, it is in the core of the faith to accept everyone equally, just like our savior did with the marginalized members of society.

Outrage as Trump revives dreaded school test

By

Monica Pop

-

According to the Federal Register, Donald Trump has signed 176 executive orders since taking office for the second time. Many of those orders sparked backlash and were widely deemed unlawful, but that didn’t stop him from pushing his agenda forward.

Among the rest, he prompted outrage from environmental groups and international leaders when he decided to pull out of the Paris Accord again. Further, he ended the federal DEI programs, renamed the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America, imposed huge tariffs on basically every country on Earth, redefine “sex” in all federal policy as biological sex assigned at birth, excluding gender identity, and more.

Most recently, Trump signed an executive order that brings back the Presidential Fitness Test in public schools, a test generations of students dreaded.

The test was first introduced in 1966 by President Lyndon B. Johnson and involves physical activities such as a one-mile run, sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups.

“This is an important step in our mission to make America healthy again,” Trump stated when he signed the executive order, with golfer Bryson DeChambeau, Kansas City Chiefs’ Harrison Butker and former New York Giants player Lawrence Taylor by his side.

“It’s something that’s very important, what we’re doing, very important. Dating back to the administration of President Dwight D Eisenhower, this council has championed the vigor and strength and vitality of the American people today. We continue that very proud tradition.”

Trump added: “It was a big deal. This was a wonderful tradition, and we’re bringing it back. It’s turned out to be very, very popular to do.”

In 2012, then-President Barack Obama replaced the Presidential Fitness Test with a new program called FitnessGram, but now under Trump the dreaded test is back again.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told CNN: “President Trump wants every young American to have the opportunity to emphasize healthy, active lifestyles — creating a culture of strength and excellence for years to come.”

The decision comes at the time when the US is preparing to host significant sporting events such as the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics.

The public, however, especially those who were students when the test was part of the school system, remember it being brutal.

Taking to Reddit, one person wrote, “We did this ‘beep test’ for varsity soccer and kids would throw up or nearly throw up every summer. It was brutal.” Another added: “I remember doing this test in elementary school. I can still hear the audio from this stupid test in my head. I remember I only got up to like 15 or so before I was done…I was an out of shape kid.”

There were also those who challenged Trump to take it himself.
