‘BuzzFeed Unsolved: Supernatural’ Sets Premiere Date for Final Season With Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara.

Actually, let's rephrase that. "GLOW" lets it's characters act like real women. They get to bicker and laugh and cuss and be crude; they are not shoved into a trope box. They simply get to be well-rounded, real women and it shows. The main conflict in the series revolves around Ruth Wilder (wrestling alias "Zoya the Destroyer"; actress Alison Brie) and Debbie Eagan (wrestling alias "Liberty Belle"; actress Betty Gilpin) after Ruth has sex with Debbie's husband, Mark; by the way, Debbie has just had a child. The affair gets enough screen time to explain the situation and the majority of the first and second season features Debbie and Ruth dealing with the fallout.

What makes this situation so interesting, is that the audience doesn't watch two women having a catfight over a man for twenty episodes. Instead, the audience gets to see two women deal with the makings of a television show while balancing the remnants of a broken friendship.

WHY TRUE CRIME? WITH BUZZFEED UNSOLVED

Watching Ryan Bargera and Shane Madej on BuzzFeed Unsolved is like hanging out with your friends. If your friends were hunting ghosts or talking about murder all the time. If you’re lucky, they are!

‘BuzzFeed Unsolved’ is Like ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ For Millennials

The show’s innate charisma stems from the organic chemistry between hosts Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej. The ability to tell an abbreviated story that’s equal parts funny, compelling, and informative is no simple task, especially when you consider the grim subject matter, but Bergara and Madej make it look easy. Despite their friendship, Ryan and Shane share many contracting ideologies when it comes to true crime. It’s enjoyable to view these cases through two different prisms; it’s optimist vs. pessimist, believer vs. skeptic, Jack vs. Locke. 

The duo’s infectious energy, good-natured banter, and storytelling proficiency fuse together to create a series that’s just a ton of fun to watch. It’s basically Unsolved Mysteries for millennials, which is the highest honor I can bestow upon a show because Unsolved Mysteries will now and forever be the JAM.

In a world of texting, posting, music, and the rather boisterous presence of visual media (your prime time television, your blockbusters), it’s often difficult to unwind and take a second to breathe. For someone with a short attention span, it’s perhaps more difficult to do this with the added act of reading.
