Scribbles About TV: The Family

So I was kind of half paying attention to this... but I think I was still watching it pretty closely because I was pretty into it! Its a good show!

So... I don't think the acting is... the best. Most everyone is good... but the guy that plays Adam just isn't very good. I don't want to be mean because he is a kid, and I think he's doing his best. He might be doing a great job because he kind of has to act like a bad actor... but I just don't like him. But I do think its a hard role and he's doing a better job than I could have done... so he's not really a reason to not watch the show.

And the other characters... I didn't think anyone was amazing to be honest... but I think they may just need their characters to develop a little bit better and I think there's going to be a lot of character development.

The show has a lot going on with it... The main story focuses on a missing boy who was assumed dead when he was 9 years old and he shows up 10 years later... a DNA test proves its him... but he isn't acting like his old self and he's doing suspicious and questionable things... so it is hard to tell if it really is him or not.

And all the characters are a little suspicious themselves. The mom is focused on winning an election... she's a local politician I think she's running for governor. Her husband is an author and he was working on a book tour and is having an affair with the main detective of the case who is beating herself up because she accused the wrong man and is upset about it. The guy that was accused is out in the real world and he's creepy... not going to lie. He says he wished he did it, he's having a hard time transitioning to the changes... and the siblings of Adam. I think the sister works with the mom... and they didn't show her much... I think she was in the confessional and she was supposed to be watching Adam and she didn't... I think she works with her mom... I don't remember her all that much. Lol. Is that sad? I'm saying this was a good show and I don't remember it. The brother was an alcoholic and he was making out with some girl when Adam went missing and then he runs into her at a bar and she kisses him and then gives someone money... so thats weird.

And the mom doesn't believe the older son when he has questions about Adam. She just says "You're a drunk" and dismisses him for that... so thats weird too right? Someone in this family knows more than they're letting on... and it seems to be the mom. She's too obsessed with politics... she seems to be doing it for the votes. It probably isn't that... just because thats so obvious... but yeah.

So overall... I thought they did it well. I want to watch the rest of the series from the pilot. I don't think its as good as Secrets and Lies so far... but Secrets and Lies had an almost comically bad pilot... so yeah.

Alright! That is everything. I know I got stuff wrong, let me know below what really happened. Lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
