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!

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...

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...
