Scribbles About TV: The Whispers Review

So I was going to do a review on Aquarius and watch this a second time... but I haven't even seen aquarius yet and I thought "well I pretty much got the whole story of The Whispers. Lets Do a blog on that!" So yeah.

I am kind of in love with this show. There's kind of an X-Files vibe to me for some reason. It reminds me of all the mythology episodes of The X Files and its just as scary... if not scarier than a lot of it. It also kind of reminds me of Medium... again don't know why... but when Medium was on I was like "OHhh. X Files" and now that this is on I'm kind of like "Ohhh X Files. Medium." I also feel like people that like Lost... but also horror movies will like this... its very creepy, very mysterious and there is a lot going on.

One thing I thought was interesting about the show was the characters... there are a lot of characters for this show! Probably more than they need, but I think the way that they handled it was very good. Sometimes when I see a ton of characters on a show I think "woah this is a red flag. This will be hard to follow and nothing will pay off." This has payed off a lot already. I thought the end was very twisty and really good. I don't want to give it away here... but there were a few twists and I was just like "Wow. I didn't really see any of those coming. That was quite excellent." So... yeah. That was pretty cool.

I'm gonna critique the acting a little bit... I didn't like the mom that was in a coma I believe at the end of the episode... It looked like she died at the very beginning but then I think they showed her in a coma later on... that was a little confusing to me. The girl that they questioned at the beginning... her mom. Not the best. I kind of didn't think I'd like her from the commercials, just she seemed really cheesy. Also a lot of the actors are child actors... and child actors aren't really that great. Especially on dramas that they don't really understand. And some of the kids were pretty good in this... but overall... not my favorite part about a show. Again these weren't like the worst child actors... but yeah.

Lilly Rabe I loved though! She's amazing. I missed her on AHS this year and I was really happy to see her in a role that was kind of like some of her roles in AHS. She reminded me a bit of Sister Mary Eunice I guess... but more motherly. Like how she thought of herself in the first season. Lol.

And overall... I'm really intrigued. I find a lot of stories predictable... this one I can honestly say I have no idea whats going on... and I like that lol. Its really cool and pretty different. I'm excited to see how it all connects.

Hope you guys check this out! Its kind of a cool show! I'd give it a B+ right now because its pretty unique.

Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
