Inside A vigilantly
Unless you have been living under a rock over the past decade you have probably heard young adults exclaim their excitement to go home and “Netflix and chill”. Several networks have produced hard hitting dramas over the last few years that have Americans “binge-watching” and becoming highly more emotionally invested than ever before.

I don’t consider either method used to be better than the other. In both television series it will clear from a very early season the writer had no problem killing off a main character. This to me was a reason I think more people became obsessed with both shows, you truly did not know what could happen next. While both killed off a number of main characters throughout the season, only in ONE show was the main character killed off in the season finale. (I won’t spoil it and say
