Freeform Converts to a 24/7 Harry Potter Marathon
After changing their name to something that makes no sense, Freeform has finally gotten its act together and plans on finally giving the people what they want: Harry Potter.
Constantly.
At all times.
And forever.
And all I can say is: f*cking finally.
It’s about time that they stop producing all of their garbage shows and give us some quality content. I mean, who thinks to themself, hmm, I think I’ll watch Freeform, I’m sure they’ve got something good on. Literally no one. But you can bet your sweet ass that I tune in every time I see an advertisement for the much beloved “Harry Potter Weekend.”
A constant Harry Potter marathon network is just what America needs in the current political climate and at this point in the college semester.
I want to know who runs marketing for Freeform and thought it would be a good idea to “rebrand” themselves with a network name that no one understands. Personally, I didn’t see a problem with ABC Family, but maybe that’s just me.
Everything started going downhill after they changed to their current idiotic name and started producing TV shows with weird plots and horrible, and I mean horrible, actors. I will give them credit where credit is due though. “The Bold Type” and “Grown-ish” are actually decent shows. Not great, but decent. So obviously I watch both of them because I enjoy decent chick drama.
However, most of the shows that have been premiered on this network have flopped almost immediately. For example, “Famous in Love,” one of the worst acted shows I’ve ever seen, got two seasons and starred Bella Thorne as an econ major-turned actress. Let’s be real, anyone who casts Bella Thorne in anything, let alone a lead role, needs a reality check. I’m glad that Freeform finally got theirs.
And don’t even get me started on “The Perfectionists.” Sara Shepard needs to get her crappy novels off of my TV screen. Of course, I read all 374 of the Pretty Little Liar books, but I was in middle school and I lived for the drama and shitty writing, apparently.
But I will not tolerate any more of this Pretty Little Liars crap. That show should have ended in its fourth season and the fact that it had seven seasons and now has a spin-off really pains me.
Who really asked for more bad acting, gross plot lines and awkward sex scenes?
But, finally, at long last, Freeform has put an end to their poor taste and decided to cleanse America’s pallet with the British wizards we all know and love. On April 1, prepare yourself for Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley to grace your screen once again. You will never have to wait until the weekend anymore because whenever you turn on the TV, they will be there. Always.
