Throwback Thursday: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Season 2

Season 2... I had kind of underestimated. I know I probably gave it a positive review when I first reviewed it last year... but I didn't ever watch it a second time... until just now... and idk. I wasn't super happy with how Titus's story ended at the time... so I think I just thought I didn't love Season 2... but it was a really really good and funny season.

In Season 2... we see a lot of the more serious themes of Kimmy's life. Her abandonment issues from her mom and not just her fear of things from The Bunker. Kimmy finally sees a therapist... and even her therapist has issues... nothing seems to be going right for Kimmy and in the end she finds her mom... and things still aren't all that great. So Kimmy realizes her issues will kind of never be solved... but she still kind of accepts things and there's some catharsis in the end for Kimmy and her mom... without there being a real resolution.

And... I love Lisa Kudrow as Kimmy's mom. I thought she was just perfect and so funny... she seems to be on a lot of Netflix shows- she was on Season 2 of Bojack Horseman... I think she's just as funny now as she was when she was on friends... and that's saying a lot because Phoebe is probably my favorite part of Friends. Lol.

And Tina Fey on this season as the Therapist... she was just really great. She is so funny... this show was no exception to that at all... she was great at playing both the boring therapist that runs marathons and the train wreck alcoholic that can't get her life together... I was hoping we would see a little bit more of her in Season 3... but I was happy with her episode there and where Andrea ended up.

I loved the cliffhanger end of this season as well... because it's like just when you think we've got all the Bunker stuff behind us... the Reverend calls asking for a divorce... and that leads to some more issues in season 3...

I think one of my favorite episodes was when Kimmy goes on the tv show... that sounds like it would be horrifying and I always love seeing the difference between Kimmy and the other women in the bunker... that was a great episode highlighting that.

And I liked the story with Titus and Mikey... I appreciated it more after watching Season 3... I don't know if I loved it at the time... but now after seeing season 3... it's so sweet. They're so cute... and I just really liked it.

Lots of love in this season. Kimmy and Dong, Titus and Mikey, Jacqueline and Russ, Lilian and Robert Durst... it's just really got a lot as far as those stories go... and I think it works really well. It was really good.

Ao that's everything! Hope you guys like it or find it useful. Let me know what you think of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's different seasons and if you liked the third season... and yeah!

Byeee!

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...

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...
