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!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

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...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...
