Scribbles About TV: Master of None Review

There are going to be a lot of TV reviews coming up because a lot of shows are coming back on Netflix... Master of None just came back, Kimmy Schmiddt is coming back next week... I watched another show that's been around for a while that no one talks about and the show Downward Dog is coming on... so those are all things that I'm going to talk about very soon... I think I'm going to post something about the shows that got cancelled recently as well... and maybe I'll post that before this... so look for that... I think I probably posted it on Friday... if not it'll be here soon! I'm not linking it right now lol.

Anyway... this is a show that I really like from Netflix and I have to say... I think I liked Season 2 even better. I love how Netflix has been sort of doing episodes of their shows really highlighting all the best things about the particular city... and this did such a great job not just with New York, but with Italy as well... I think the I love New York episode was brilliant... but the episodes in Italy were a lot of fun too. It was like the San Fransisco episode from Girlboss... it was a unique way of showing different people in New York that have NOTHING to do with the show inside the show. I love when shows do that- Master of none is great at giving us a lot of information about characters that we don't even know that don't have the most interesting stories... and just making their own stories really unique and just really good. That was some great storytelling!

I liked the new things too... There were lots of new characters and new things to do. Italy was new, Clash of the Cupcakes was new, Franchesca, Pino Nona, Chef Jeff... lots of new things were going on and it didn't neglect the old things. All of Dev's friends were there still... not quite as much as Season 1- but they still had a full episode dedicated to Denise and her family... they still had a side story with Brian's Dad... Arnold had some great character development even... they didn't cheapen out on the older characters by adding all of these new characters. And it makes sense with that's how time kind of works. One year you're hanging out with all your friends every single night... the next year you just see a few of them every once and a while. It was sweet that they showed Denise and Dev as Friends since they were kids... there were a lot of great moments.

Franchesca... I liked her story I think... I like her as a character... maybe that wasn't what I was thinking would happen at the beginning of the season... but again- that kind of happened differently with Rachel in Season 1 too. It gets more dramatic near the end of the season... I just liked that.

I didn't go back and re-watch the first season... and I feel like maybe I should have. There was a lot I was sort of missing from the show that I didn't quite remember from Season 1... that might have helped a little bit... but I thought it was cool to watch the series with fresh eyes and take this season as something totally different with some vague memories from Season 1.

I still thought it was really funny... I think it was both funnier and more dramatic than season 1... so it definitely improved a lot... and overall it was just cool. I would be happy to watch another season! After the sort of disappointment with Season 3 of Grace and Frankie... it's nice to see that this is a little better than the previous few seasons.

Hope you guys liked this! Byeee!

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...

Throwback Thursday: 13 Going On 30

So I watched this on VH1 around Christmas Time because it was on... they really need to bring this movie to Netflix because it's pretty fantastic and VH1 doesn't get the whole thing. I didn't catch the very beginning... but I did watch most of it from around the time when Matty gives her the Dream House... so sweet. It was a little weird to watch this movie because when it came out, I was 13 or almost 13... and now I'm closer to being 30... but I still felt more connected to the 13 year old Jenna instead of the adults in the movie. Like I'm not totally sure when I turned almost 30... but I don't like it. I'm still 13 year old Jenna who likes the same music as when I was 13 and has kind of the same style as I did then... I don't know... its just kind of a weird thing and I was freaking out a little bit from it. This is also the movie that introduced me to one of my favorite actresses, Judy Greer! I love Judy Greer, she's so funny and great and s...
