Dead To Me Season 1 Review

Okay so there aren't as many seasons of Dead to Me as there are New Girl- only 2 seasons released so far but they're so different I don't want to cover the second season in this season. And I want to talk about what I expect for the third season when I review the second season next week. 

So in Season One Jen and Judy first meet in the first episode. They meet in a grief counseling group- Judy recognizes Jen because she's a realtor and she saw her on a park bench and they bond pretty quickly.Jen's husband just passed away in a terrible hit and run and Jen can't sleep since her husband died.  Judy tells Jen to call her if she can't sleep... Jen can't sleep so she calls her and then Judy starts coming over to Jen's house... and eventually Jen tries to go to Judy's house and she finds out Judy's been lying to her a little bit. 

So once Judy explains why she lies to Jen and to the grief counseling group- she's accepted into the group even though she joined under false pretenses and Jen invites Judy to live with her in her  husband's pool house because Judy was living in a retirement community that she worked at after Judy's bad breakup with her fiance... it was just a lot. 

I'm being vague with a lot of details because I don't really want to give things away... but Jen ends up working with Judy's ex fiance and he says Judy is crazy and... we do find out that Judy was driving the car with her ex fiance-Steve and they were the ones that hit Jen's husband. 

And it does kind of seem creepy and stalkery that Judy is living with Jen... but Judy is honestly such a nice person and SUCH a good friend for Jen that you kind of know that she's not this terrible scary stalker that Steve and other people portray her as. 

Jen's anger is also a very important and a big factor in the second season of the show. It's always apparent through the show that she was angry- but she always seemed like such a loving wife to her husband... but there are details of their marriage Jen doesn't know like the fact that her husband is having an affair or the details of some of the fights that they had and how their marriage really was. Plus Jen's mother in law is... a nightmare to say the least. And guns are mentioned a lot and shown a lot so... it's pretty interesting. 

Over all there aren't that many shows that get female friendships quite like this show does and this season in particular did a flawless job showing us how much these characters loved and needed one another. 

The cast is also really great. Christina Applegate, Linda Cardellini, and James Marsden are perfect. This season is really great... but the second season I think really creates the amazing and dark world these characters live in and... there are just so many coincidences that happen and it's just brilliantly written. 

So yeah. I really love this show and I definitely recommend you guys watch it! 

Bye!

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...

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...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
