About

Hello, I’m Xiomara

I live in Medellín and I have watched Far Harbour, all five seasons, its spin-off and its film, more times than I’ll admit.

Friends kept asking where to start and what they could skip, so I drew the watch order on a wall of sticky notes. Then I wrote it up.

I write a recap for every season and spin-off, with spoilers marked, and I make printable trackers for long watch-throughs.
