Watch It Wednesday Part 2

Okay so, if you haven't already noticed, I have decided

to turn watching the Netflix trending shows into a bit

of a series on here. I have simply just become obsessed

with checking the trending list, finding new shows, and

then sharing my strong opinions on those shows. So

far I have been surprised by some shows as I fall

head over heels in love with them, but there have also been

some extreme time wasters. Hope you enjoy round 2 of this series! 


Outer Banks WATCH

This is definitely a show you want to add

to your watch list. I absolutely love the friend

group dynamic, the storyline, and all the action

and mystery that is involved. Once you

start it you won’t want to stop.


Hollywood WATCH

I hadn’t seen any advertisements for this show so I was

a little surprised to see it so high on the trending list, but

after watching it I can certainly understand why. Albeit it is

a bit risque at times with a bunch of nudity and queer

scenes, this Mad Men-esque show is quite addicting

and easy to sit and watch for hours.


Jerry Seinfeld: 23 Hours to Kill SKIP

So….I didn’t really like this. I think I only laughed out

loud a couple of times throughout the whole hour

and most of the time I didn’t even crack a smile.

Unfortunately, even though his set was about the

humor or real life, I just couldn't get into it or find

it funny. (I do still think Seinfeld is one of the

best sitcoms ever though.)

Never Have I Ever WATCH!!!!!

I honestly did not have any interest in watching

this show when I saw the previews, but I

could NOT stop laughing through the entire

pilot. I binge watched the entire season in one

sitting and literally screamed at the TV after

finishing the last episode because I needed more.

Becoming WATCH

I have not read Michelle’s book Becoming, and in all

honesty I don’t know if I ever will, but politics aside, I

thoroughly enjoyed this documentary about her book

tour. I don’t follow politics at all so there were certain

things she discussed that really opened my eyes to

news stories that unfolded during Obama’s time in the

White House as well as what it was like behind the

scenes and how things were before she became the

First Lady. It was just an interesting documentary and I

have to say that I hold a little more respect for Michelle

Obama than I did before I started it.


Dangerous Lies WATCH

This is definitely a thriller that will hold your

attention the entire time and the ending left me

sitting staring at the TV with my mouth agape.

(Plus, if nothing else, the outfits worn by Camila Mendes

are worth the watch in my opinion!)


Workin' Moms WATCH!!

I started this show long ago when it first came

out and, even though I am not a mom (let alone

a working one) I enjoy every minute of this show

that I watch. It is so real and the perfect show for

when you are needing a good laugh.

Arctic Dogs SKIP - unless you have kids

This movie had some pretty big names doing

the voices of the characters including Jeremy

Renner, James Franco, Heidi Klum, and Alec

Baldwin, but I had never heard of this movie before

I saw it on the trending list. The whole movie

gave me really strong Zootopia vibes and everything

worked out just a little too well for the good guys in

this movie. It isn’t a movie that I will be watching

again, but I do think it is a movie that kids will enjoy

and also a movie that has a great message

for kids of all ages.


Den of Thieves SKIP

I was very intrigued by the plot of this movie, a gang

of sheriffs who don’t play by the rules tries to stop a

group of ex-marines turned thieves before they commit

another grand heist. Unfortunately, the execution of that

plot was not done well and this movie ended up being

slow and not entertaining. I hated Gerard Butler’s character

who was supposed to be one of the “good guys,” felt absolutely nothing when

any of the characters’ lives were put in jeopardy, and I

sincerely think this movie would have been better off as an

hour long movie rather than one that was over 2

hours long. Don’t waste your time on it.

All Day and a Night SKIP

This movie was hard to watch with the

abuse, violence, and slow storyline. Perhaps

it was because there was nothing in this movie

that I could relate to as far as the hardships and

struggles of the characters go, but I just didn’t enjoy

this movie at all and wanted to stop watching it

within the first 10 minutes. In fact, after sitting through

all 2 hours of it, I wish I did...do not waste your

time like I did with this one.
