Shameless (2011–2021)
10/10
Has become my comfort show
30 April 2024
I hadn't watched shameless until it was entirely done filming about 2 years ago and I was hooked. I was battling a bad drug addiction at the time, sleeping on couches, binging shameless. Now I'm 2 years clean and re watching it out of nostalgia and comfort. I love how real it is in a sense of character development and poor decision making etc. Don't get me wrong theres obviously things that are blown out of proportion or things that wouldnt necessarily be real but its a show and I find they calm down with the 'unrealistic' aspects after the first couple seasons as it grows. This show (up until Fiona left) was amazing and didn't digress as the seasons went on like most shows. I will admit the last 2 seasons without Fiona weren't great but still enjoyable. Many times in the show I cried from relating so much, especially with the mother as I have a mother with bi-polar/BPD so I would get super emotional watching her disappoint the kids again and again. And Fiona, when she's not "playing mom" she reminds me totally 100% of myself in my early 20s, pretty but grungy so she doesn't believe shes pretty, has fun yet breaks a few rules, sleeps with random guys (sometimes lower morals lol), whenever I would watch a scene of her partying, or hooking up with a guy, or working whatever job- I saw myself.

I also love how it doesn't really age, in the beginning seasons with flip phones and 'minutes' I love it. I love how the characters wear a lot of the same clothes like real people do, I love how we get to watch the kids grow into adults on screen it feels like your a part of the Gallagher.

I just grew sooo attached to this show. Whenever I'm down in the dumps I throw this on and it cheers me up.

I wish there would be a reunion with Fiona, the only thing I wish was different is if we knew where Fiona went or got some update from someone talking not her but she completely just left. Still recovering from that heartbreak. Also as Debbie grew up she began to look more and more like my best friend since we were 3 who passed away of a drug addiction. And she reminds me of her a little bit too so it sort of warms my heart seeing Debbie.💕

Best show i have seen in quite some time
17 November 2023
So i watched Yellowstone and it was good i was indifferent i wasn't totally obsessed but i enjoyed it. Anyways i love shows that take place in any form of the past so i gave this one a try. And oh my god it was amazing, such an amazing show. There's a couple things that are a little unrealistic for its time and scenarios but they're so small you can get past them. This show is about life and death, the lessons life teaches us and preparation for our death. I recently lost my childhood best friend, i've been grieving for a few months now and this show really comforted me. Really just so many beautiful messages in this show. Tim mcgraw and faith hill nailed it, i was unsure what the outcome would be having to country stars acting but they blew it out of the water and isabel may- wow. I mean this young girl was beyond perfect for this role. I fell in love with her character, i envied her youth, her confidence she really makes you feel like you know elsa. Just every actor articulated their role perfectly. So perfect. This show was just amazing in every aspect.

The Rescue (2021)
10/10
The story I remembered on the news vs what REALLY happened- are two entirely different stories.
8 November 2022
From the first 5 minutes i was hooked, obviously like the rest of the world i was invested in this story as it was happening. But to see how the story really played out, i remember going "why dont they just do this?" Or "wow they really managed to do that? What are they even doing?" And now watching it, I'm in pure infatuation.

I remember thinking it was a couple cave divers who "stumbled" onto the team. No no, it was infact the greatest cave divers in the world who indeed did it as a hobby. But they were called upon to do this mission, and it really is their story. And by that i mean this documentary in particular is their story.

I truly was on the edge of my seat, even though I remember this happening i didn't remember or know all the details so i was just gripped with intensity. You really don't know what's reenactments verse actual footage because it is done so well and the real men telling the story do their own reenactments. It was so well done.

One last thing, a shoutout is needed to everyone involved in the mission to saving these lives, including the team themselves. True heroes, pure bravery.

Haunted (2018– )
10/10
Why is everyone hating?
9 June 2022
Personally i think this show is awesome!

I love me a good ghost story and thats all it is, every episode is someone telling their own personal ghost story. Are some of the stories a little far fetched, maybe a little unbelievable? Maybe. But hey it leaves me scared and ready to watch another. I can't believe the 1 star reviews only because people don't believe the stories are true.

Mixed feelings
15 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Alright ill start with the good; i did Love this movie very much because molly is me. Ive fully showed up at my parents door step after spending the night on the streets in the rain in winter because i would rather do heroin than anything else. I especially love The fact that her mother will not take her in because that is what a parent needs to do in order for their child to get clean. Thats what my parents did and it worked. I love that this movie shows when you let your kid get everything they want because your afraid of them dying your just enabling them to keep using. I think that message was key. Then towards the end when she relapses it shows because she was taking her mother for granted. Enabling. Most addiction movies don't really show what enabling looks like and i love that this movie really shows how not giving into the addict is helping them most.

Now the only thing i didnt like was i found it was a little slow, but mostly unrealistic. She got clean in the end. But if she was using heroin for 10 years whats different this time? Ya the injection but she ended up relapsing before it anyways. So what triggered her brain this time getting clean instead of the last 10 years that said "molly you can do it this time". Thats what the movie was missing. WHAT. WHAT flipped that switch in the addicts brain that said your gonna get clean. OR is that the beauty of this film? You don't need a switch. She just did it. She was ready. Its sort of a guessing game with your own mind but in the end thats how we addicts operate.

Mila kunis was amazing i think this was one of the more realistic movies based on addiction.

Daniel radcliff proves he's more than harry potter
15 April 2022
This movie was actually pretty amazing. Its crazy to see how behind south africa was when it comes to racism. I personally had no idea it was that bad so recently. It broke my heart. This movie was an eye opener for me and it was made wonderfully.

Daniel radcliff did an excellent job as well. Its like the true version of shawshank redemption. Dont get me wrong i absolutely love stephen king but this is obviously a lot more serious, being true and all, a lot more emotions. Friendship, love, justice. Wonderful film.

R.i.p mick rock a legend
15 April 2022
I watched this doc about 3 years ago, i had no idea who mich rock was and im asahmed to say so. I fell in love with him after this documentary. His career took off circling around the trio of bowie, iggy and lou.

Such a fascinating man. I was so hurt to hear of his passing this last year. Mick you will always be loved and missed very much. You left a HUGE impact on pop culture. Rock n roll wouldnt be what it is without you capturing every moment of it.

Trust (2018)
8/10
Awesome show.. Ok ending
27 September 2018
I might be biased but i love Ryan Murphys 10 episode shows. He always delivers! AHS, Feud, The people vs OJ, the assassination of gianni versace. They are all amazing and this one definitely makes the cut as well. Only thing i didn't like was the ending. The first 9 episodes were done brilliantly and then the 10th was just sort of... there. I ended up googling everything that happened in real life. But great show!
