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!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
