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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...
