New TV Reviews: 9-1-1, X Files Season 11, LA To Vegas, Grownish, Alone Together

Sooo I've seen a bunch of new tv shows... and I've really liked all of them... so I thought I would just do one mega review of everything... and here's what I think about it all.

9-1-1 
This show had one of the best pilots I've ever seen and a great follow-up episode as well. It's just such a great show... really sucks you in when you watch it and makes you wonder what happens next. I think they did such a great job with character development for an ensemble... it's Ryan Murphy so obviously it's going to be amazing with an amazing  cast... Connie Britton, Angela Basset, the guy that played Nate on Six Feet Under... everyone is just so good and I'm really loving the show so far. It already has me hooked and this episode ended on a cliffhanger... so I'm excited to see what's coming next!

The X Files 
This season of the X Files is kind of funny because I'm actually watching it with my mom who isn't that into sci fi and she never really watched the show before... she was just kind of around when I was watching the season premiere... and I think she was kind of hooked even though she thought it was unbelievable.

A lot of the critics said that the first episode of the season wasn't the strongest... and I have to kind of agree... but at the same time I really liked it. It was a little predicable I'd say... but it was still unique enough to be excited for. I don't know... it was nothing unexpected but the end was something I thought was a little heartbreaking and creepy... and I thought this was one of the best episodes from the Cigarette Smoking Man.

The second episode I still liked... but it was a little hard to figure out what was going on... I liked it and didn't at the same time... it was really cool and unique with a very bleak ending that felt like the original series... and I liked that a lot... Plus it's always fun to see the Lone Gunmen!

La To Vegas 
This one kind of sucked. It wasn't the worst pilot of the year or the worst show ever... I just didn't like it. I would rather see Dylan McDermott on 9-1-1 with Connie Britton... he was very goofy and over the top in this show and I just thought it kind of sucked.

I liked the story with the female flight attendant... the actor that played the other flight attendant was really good too... everyone was funny... the show itself wasn't funny though... it just didn't do it for me and I wouldn't recommend watching this when there are sooo many shows on right now.

Grown-ish 
This was really really funny. If you like Blackish- and you like teen comedy shows- I think this is a good show for you. Zoey Johnson is very relatable and I just think all the characters on the show are really unique and cool. I love her group of girl friends... it's  just a really strong, different squad. They also do a good job showing a diverse group of students so it actually looks like a real college. I just really like it so far! I think it's going places!

Alone Together 
I kind of liked this show... but I hope it gets a little bit better. I think it's funny... but the plot of this episode was just a little slow... not my favorite overall... but it wasn't bad. It just wasn't the most interesting. I like the characters, I love Ester on Crazy Ex Girlfriend and I'm excited to see that she has her own show now... the commercials were really really funny for this and I think this is something that's good now... but it'll end up getting better and better as it goes on.

So that is everything! I hope you guys like this! I will maybe do more tv reviews once the season finale's are all out... so let me know if that's something you like!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
