Lissete E. Lanuza Sáenz

Lissete E. Lanuza Sáenz is an entertainment and sports writer and editor who always has an opinion about everything she watches. And opinions are always better shared. She grew up on classic movies and procedural TV shows, but now favors anything different—or at least anything that’s trying to tell a story in a way we haven’t seen before.

Experience and Education

Lissete is a trained lawyer—who decided the corporate world wasn’t for her during the pandemic. Since then, she’s turned her “hobby,” writing, into her full-time job. She’s written mostly about entertainment—with a heavy emphasis on TV, and sports—one of her first loves. She was the Senior Editor in charge of all TV and Movie content on CBR, and co-owns the entertainment website Fangirlish. She’s also a member of the Television Critics Association, which she takes as tacit permission to have opinion about anything TV. On top of contributing to JustWatch, she also writes for TV Guide, Remezcla, The Independent, Stylecaster, among others.

Favorite Movies and TV Shows

Her favorite movies vary wildly from the classics like The Sound of Music and The Godfather and The Princess Bride, to movies like When Harry Met Sally and everything Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. If it’s fantasy, she’s in. As for TV shows, she watches procedurals like it was her full-time job, and still feels like a The X-Files fan, even if she doesn’t claim the revival seasons.
