About Claudia Picado
Claudia Picado is a Features Writer and NYU grad based in Miami, FL. Some of her favorite things to write about are Succession, rom-coms (good and bad), and anything involving feminism, unlikeable female characters, and depictions of women in film and television.
A newfound horror fan, she considers herself a Mike Flanagan aficionado and is in the process of catching up on all the horror movies she never watched in the first twenty-something years of her life (some favorites include Scream and Rosemary's Baby). She also harbors a deep anthropological fascination with Love Island UK.
