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!

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...

Uhhhh... Where Have I been?

 So it hasn't been that long- but I did mention that I wanted to keep this more of a daily-ish blog than I have in years past... and my last post was the  4th and today was the 11th. Did I give up on my resolutions already?  No/Sort of... sooo basically I was kind of considering the real start of the new year January 5th... I was very busy with work things up until the 4th... the 4th was the big work event that I had to do... and then after that I could focus on whatever I wanted to focus on... and my blogs were going to be the number 1 thing that I focused on for sure... I might miss a few days... but surely I'd do something for this blog right on the 5th after the big work thing was done... so just leading up to that as long as I post something- everything is good right?  Nope- I realized my room design... needed some refreshing. And then one project turned into several projects and then that took a few days... I think I started on doing stuff on Wednesday of last ...

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...
