When a TV Show Inspires Your Creative Awakening
How The Bold Type made me consider my creative future.
In 2013, I listened to a few of my college friends talking about this show called Game of Thrones during a break. You might have heard of it. They said it was medieval and was about kings and queens and all that jazz. Right up my alley.
I remember going back home that very same day, signing up for a service that had that show available for watching here in Israel, and binging the whole two-three seasons it had at the time in about two days.
Fast forward to 2021, and it happened to me again-this time with a show called The Bold Type. But instead of binging it for the magic and medieval and fantasy — I binged it because I was jealous. So far, I’m into the second episode of the third season on Netflix. Let me tell you why I think you might want to watch it.
The Bold Type is set in New York City
I love NYC so much. I’ve been to the city no more than three times in my entire life, and each time was like a dream. And I know what you’re probably thinking — here’s another tourist who doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But NYC was never about the sights for me.
