Critic entertained by “You”The thrilling drama

“You” has landed on Netflix and quickly worked its way up the most popular television shows list.

The new show takes a cliché rom-com and warps it into a mod-ernized horror story. During an age with an

unhealthy obsession with social media, “You” has become extremely relevant.

“You” is a binge-worthy series that pulls view-ers deeper into an addictive trance. The show si-multaneously is an easy watch that keeps everyone constantly entertained while sending an important

message. In today’s society, social media is extremely prevalent; however, people still are not realizing the dangers that it can bring. “You” not only is a great show for teenagers and adults to spend an entire weekend watching, but it also reveals the dangers of social media.

The main character, Joe Goldberg, uses his savvy internet skills virtually to stalk the girl of his dreams; however, the virtual world quickly turns into the real one, leaving Joe with an unhealthy obsession. Through Joe’s work on the internet, viewers see just how easy it is for someone to find out informa-tion simply from social media. The relevance to the world invokes fear simply because the scenario could happen in the real world.

A component that makes “You” so enthralling is the writing. About half way through the series, I

found myself actually rooting for the dysfunctional Joe Goldberg. Although it was apparent that this guy was crazy, a whole new personality came out when he was with “the one,” Guinevere Beck. By the way he spoke to her and acted when he was with her, it seemed like he was a perfect gentleman; howev-er, viewers are quickly jolted back to fearing him. Although I knew all along that Joe Goldberg was a crazy stalker, the writers were able to get me to feel sympathy for him simply because of how they wrote his character.

“You” is extremely addictive. Although there is only one season as of now with only 10 episodes, it is a dynamic show with numerous twists and turns. I encourage every with Netflix to plan a Netflix binge weekend and get caught up in one of the best televi-sion series I have ever watched.

Students look forward to spring in Indy

pizza is w i t h o u t a doubt one of the g r e a t e s t i n v e n -tions that man has ever cre-ated, ever.

That is why I am always excited to try a new pizza place whenever I hear about a new one opening.

Agapé Pizza took over the build-ing that was left vacant when the Papa Johns by the Greenwood Park Mall moved.

Pizza is an art, and Agapé Pizza is Pablo Picasso. When I walked I found myself in a pizza restaurant with only three tables and a bench. That does not stop them from making good pizza, though. When my friends and I looked at their menu, we were a bit in awe of how simple it was. They had two sizes, small and large, and two dough sizes, thin and pan. The small was 12 inches which is actually equivalent to a medi-um or larger for most pizza places, and the large was a whopping 16 inches. They have the usual variety of topping as well as sauces, but the aroma that the pizza produced as it cooked liter-ally 10 feet away was pure beauty.

They invited me back to see the pizza being pulled from the oven and put in a box, and what I saw was noth-ing short of heaven. I could tell just from sight alone that this pizza was go-ing to be delicious. There was a decent amount of cheese, sauce, and enough pepperonis for every bite.

We took it to one of the tiny tables, and they provided us with chairs. We dug in. It was love at first taste. The homemade sauce and mixed cheese blend with the perfectly texture dough and the pepperoni with every bite made it worthwhile.

Not only did it taste good going down, but it also made us feel good, because Agapé Pizza donates 5% of all sales to Tear Down The Walls, an or-ganization that focuses on fighting the homeless epidemic in Indianapolis. This seemed really cool to me, as they were helping their community one bite at a time. They also told me how they deliver free pizzas to the home-less some nights which I thought was really cool.

The customer service overall was really great; they made sure we had chairs, drinks, and even helped us per-sonally order our pizza.

“The hospitality they provided was really great,” junior Ivy Rimer said. “They provided us with silver-ware, grated parmesan cheese, crushed peppers, and were overall just really nice.”

Not only was the customer ser-vice great, but the pizza was also spec-tacular.

“The pan sized crust was perfect. It had the perfect texture and that is what makes it count,” senior Paul Lundgaard said. “They cooked the pizza perfectly from the cheese to the crust. It was slightly burnt and was just really nice and slightly crispy.”

I look forward to eating at Agapé Pizza again soon as the experience was just wonderful. For the time be-ing, they are also giving away insulated bags to put the pizza box in for the ride home that can keep the pizza warm as if it just came out of the oven. I defi-nitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys pizza.

Indy 500

Lucas Oil Raceway Park

Indianapolis Zoo

The Indy 500 once again is looking to take the banked turns of In-dianapolis Motor Speedway on May 26 for the 102nd running of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Tickets for general admission start at $35.

“I went to the Indy 500 last year to watch the running live instead of on TV, and I am definitely going to try to go again this year,” sopho-more Makenna Forrest said. “To be able to watch it up close was defi-nitely an experience I will never forget.”

The Indy 500 is not the only racing in the spring. Lucas Oil Race-way Park located just outside of Indianapolis hosts drag races and oval races throughout the spring and summer.

“Being able to go and see the intense speeds that some of these cars were able to go down a straight line was just incredible,” sophomore Carl Wilkerson said. “My family isn’t new to drag racing but being able to go and see some of these top notch dragsters reach speeds of over 200 miles an hour was something out of this world.”

The Indianapolis Zoo also opens its doors to its Butterfly Kalei-doscope, a garden full of more than 30 species of butterflies and moth. Adults cost $8-$10 while kids cost $6-$8.

“When I walked in, I didn’t know what to expect; I thought it would be really stupid,” sophomore Carter Reynolds said. “However after walking in and when they released the butterflies, it was actually a really cool experience. I doubt I do it again, but it was still pretty neat to see.”
