The Politician Season 2 Review

 I can't believe I forgot to review this! I was so excited to talk about it because it's so good and so funny and then... reviewing it just kind of escaped me. 

But anyway this season focuses on Payton Hobart's underdog race where he runs against the New York State Senator Dede Standish that has held the seat for many years... but is also secretly in a throuple with her husband and another man. Bette Midler plays her right hand woman Hadassah Gold and... everything that happens is just so funny. They were really what the show needed to make it super funny and kind of elevate it. 

Gwenyth Paltrow also had a really different role this season than just Payton's mom that was a bored housewife that was having an affair with a woman. Now we see she's bored with everything and running for office as well and... she's just really funny and fun to watch. Her whole story isn't really in the series a lot... but it definitely did something for the series that made it really funny. 

A lot of questions that weren't really answered in the first season were answered in this season too... like Payton not looking back at Alice in the hallway and we get to see what happened with Infinity and Astrid... which was great. We also saw McAffe have a really funny mental breakdown because she had sort of a toxic friendship with James and Skye. 

Overall... just a really funny season- maybe the funniest Netflix show in a while. 

Bye!

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...
