In recent years, we’ve seen a rise in warnings against “toxic nostalgia.” Fondly recalling times past is fine until that recollection turns into a yearning that keeps us from moving forward in the present day, making choices that will bring us happiness now. Not to mention, in most cases, memories of yesteryear have been edited for maximum rosiness, and bear no resemblance to our actual personal histories.

That said, if you’re like Cobra Kai’s Johnny and the era you want to go back to is the 1980s, that’s perfectly normal and, in fact, healthy.

Outrageous is the story of six aristocratic sisters who refused to play by the rules, their often scandalous lives making headlines worldwide. Set against the gathering storm clouds of the 1930s, masked by the decadence, frivolity, and lavishness of British high society, Outrageous will bring the full, uncensored story of the Mitford sisters to the screen for the first time – a story of family bonds and betrayals, public scandal, political extremism, love, heartache, and even imprisonment.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for Shadow and Bone season 2

Alina Starkov's smile at the end of Shadow and Bone season 2 is a huge concern for the character and the world around her going forward. Shadow and Bone season 2 undergoes many jarring twists and turns as it hops around Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse. The Netflix original is a loose adaptation of Bardugo's novels, but the show worked closely with her to find the best way to adapt the books for television.

Shadow and Bone season 2 follows Alina Starkov's quest for the final two of Morozova's amplifiers, the Seawhip and the Firebird, which will allow her to amplify her sun-summoning abilities enough to destroy the Fold.

The third to last episode of Shadow and Bone's second season did not disappoint.

Shadow and Bone Season 2 Episode 6 saw a central character's death and the epic Firebird reveal.

If they are following the end of the Shadow and Bone Trilogy adaptation with Six Of Crows, Matthias may have to wait the rest of the season out in Hellgate.

The Shadow and Bone Trilogy is quickly wrapping up on the television show, with the Firebird's identity being revealed and the final battle with Kirigan looming.

This battle promises to be an epic showdown, with the fight between light and darkness taking center stage.
