Olive Kitteridge (Mini Series, 2014)
Let's be honest: 2014 was really full of different events, a lot of great and horrible things happened in the world and in our personal lives, but it was definitely not the best year for cinematography. Nevertheless, last year (I still wanna write 'this year':) HBO presented a real treasure, a story which took roots deeply in my mind. I'…

Orange Is The New Black: Red's No-Bake Correctional Cheesecake
Red is one of my favorite characters in 'Orange Is The New Black'. For those who missed out this TV series somehow, 'OITNB' tells us a story about female prison and destinies of characters, who got there for some reason. Red is a chef there (mmm, actually that's not her only job, but still:) and no one dares to say something bad…
