Scribbles About TV: Shows I Bingewatched in January

I thought this might be kind of fun... especially since I've been watching so many shows recently! I have reviews of all these shows already... I'm just kind of going to go over why I've been bingewatching them and stuff like that!

A Series of Unfortunate Events 
This was the netflix show of the month... they've been pretty up to date with their releases and for the most part they have 1 or 2 shows every month. Still have to watch The OA... but I really liked this also! It was funny and even though it was for kids... I still thought it was very entertaining and funny. I've started reading the books again because of it.

I think I finished it so quickly because 1) nothing else was really on 2) You kind of have to watch 2 episodes at a time because 2 episodes finish 1 book 3) It is genuinely suspenseful 4) I really liked the 4th book and I was upset that they had never shown that in any movie or anything... so I feel like I've been waiting 13 years for that... and I think it was well worth the wait... even though that is the episode that I think I was most disappointed in. It was still good... I think I liked it a little bit more the 2nd time I watched it.

Yes I did watch the series a 2nd time... I do that sometimes with Netflix! It was really funny and well-done so I wanted to see it again!

Crazy Ex Girlfriend 

This one I bingewatched for one because my DVR deleted a bunch of episodes and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to watch them... but I was able to recover them... so I watched one episode out of order and then went back and watched everything before then and then everything after... and it was good! I liked bingewatching it because it seems like something the CW should have a marathon of. There aren't that many episodes and it's good to watch them all at once because then you sort of get the long gags a little bit better. Maybe they have a different effect... but you get them better. For example there is one character named George and no one can remember his name... you can see his arc and why he gets so upset at everyone and what he does about it.

Plus I saw Rebecca's relationship with Paula fall apart and come back together, her relationship with Josh fall apart and get back together... and her friendship with Valencia and Heather, which was fun to watch too. It's a good one too watch all at once!

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee 
I watch this a lot when I'm doing something else and I was cleaning yesterday... so I had this on in the background. Samantha Bee is really a journalist! Even though this is a comedy... she does really do her investigation and it is kind of scary some of the things that happening in the world.  She is really funny... but there are scary things happening and she doesn't hide that a lot of shit happens.

Jane The Virgin 
I didn't have as many episodes of this to catch up on... but I love watching more than one of these at a time. I was kind of upset when I ran out of episodes because something really good had just happened... I mean not like it was something good, but it was suspenseful and I want to know what happens next! Ugh! So frustrating! Anyway yeah this season has been pretty good... I think I like it more than last season. I like how much Jane's novel is factoring into this... I think this show is just really east to bingewatch. I kind of want to wait and watch like 3 episodes at a time... but I think I'll just end up watching it live or semi-live next week because I want to know what happens!

Honorable Mention: The Good Place 
There was only an episode or 2 that I missed and I didn't watch them all at once... but I still kind of wanted to mention this because I think this would also be a good one to marathon through. This is such a funny show and they just revealed a major twist and I thought it was funny... my mom saw it coming since the beginning... I only kind of saw it coming a few weeks ago. I want to marathon this when it comes out on DVD or Netflix... or even if it is just all on demand now. I think NBC has been killing it this year. I didn't watch them at all last year because there were no shows that interested me... but now they have this show, This Is Us, Superstore is pretty funny and I'm excited for the new one with Danny Pudi and I believe Vanessa Hudgens... it's about Super heroes and it just looks funny.

Alright that is everything. Hope you guys liked this... let me know what you've been watching or what I should watch next! I'm thinking The Santa Clarita Diet, I need to see season 3 of Bojack Horseman, Stranger Things I have to watch from the beginning, The OA, maybe Arrow and Jessica Jones? I tried watching both of those before... and I liked them but they're very heavy.


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
