Downton Abbey

 

I was browsing Netflix to find something to watch. Searched for period dramas (my go to genre *wink). After a while of scrolling, I found Downton Abbey and gave it a try. 

I loved every bit of Downton Abbey. The characters, storyline, cinematography, the lines. Six seasons are not enough. I couldn't get enough of everything Downton Abbey. 

Fave Character: Lady Edith Crawley. She's the middle child. Does not get a lot of attention but still, she manages to be present for everybody. She does not give up on herself. She chose to be her own person, to make decisions for happiness and herself. I love her.

Least Fave Character: Lady Mary Crawley. She is the eldest child and feels entitled to give her opinions even though they are not needed. No character development for her from season 1 to 5. Her character only developed drastically towards the end of season 6. Some late realizations on her part to take actions were only seen two episodes prior to the series finale.

Well Developed Character: Mr. Thomas Barrow. His struggles with his sexuality and the changing work positions were evidently seen. You can't help but feel for him. He did things to survive. You will have a hard time choosing to love him or hate him.

Unexpectedly Funny Character: Mr. Spratt. Just by looking at his emotionless face is a laugh. The way he talks and his funny facial expressions is such a joy. Also, the shocking plot twist for his character.

Full of Wisdom Character: Dowager Countess Violet Crawley. The one and only Maggie Smith played this character so well. The wit of the character is undoubtedly the best. She's all knowing and you can literally say "She is always right."

The series was really good. A movie was released last 2019. It is probably a continuation. I have to it watch soon. 

    

 

Anne with an E

I came across this series while browsing twitter. One account I'm following was obsessed with this show. So, I watched the first season. And then it hit me. The show was "divine". It was one of my favorite time settings, the 1900's. Twentieth century Canada, was quite similar with that of the British, if I may compare. (This comment was based on watching too much tv and films.) 

Anne was not your typical, heroine. She's strong and independent, but what I like the most about her is she's open-minded. She also, has a certain way with words. You couldn't help but admire her choice of words and how she puts them together to convey her thoughts. That was a another reason why I love her. Also, she's a free spirit. "A kindred spirit", to quote her. The second season premiered this month, and just last night, I'm left with that longing for season 3, having watched the season finale of season 2. How could I wait a year? Well, I don't have a choice but to put up with it.

P.S. I really love the opening credits of the show. So much aesthetics.  

The Good Doctor

This is a long overdue post on The Good Doctor. I've done watching season 1 of this series for quite some time now, but I wasn't able to post. So, here it is. 

This is a remake of a Korean Drama with the same title, which, I've also watched before. They changed some things with the American version, but it has made the plot more exciting. The actor, Freddie Highmore, did  a good job of being Dr. Shaun Murphy. I like his acting too. Some scenes, are also quite funny. Also, the other supporting characters are really good too. The series, is also educational. It gives us, viewers, some ideas of medical conditions that we are not familiar with. And how the doctors deal with all the medical drama and personal life. I would give season one, 4 of 5 stars. And I'm looking forward to the next seasons to come.

Jake and Amy

I am super hoping for season three to get even better. The chemistry between these two is just too awesome. Love the show. :)

Manhattan Love Story

New series to watch!!! Really funny and quirky. :) Three episodes out and I'm loving it.  

Brooklyn 99

Jake Peralta and the Gang

Thumbs up...

Season 2 badly needed...

Faints................................................

Indulged :)

'Cause it's summer, I have plenty of time to watch my series and catch-up.

Game of Thrones: It's back!!!!! After a year long wait, Season 4 is finally here. Can't wait for a thrilling season to unfold. 

Reign: If you like royals that wear really pretty dresses and are very good-looking, this is the show for you. I kinda like the twists and turns of the story.

Vikings: I'm recommending this series to those who wants super bloody action. I super like the lead female character, pretty and dangerous.

Ganahan jud kog mga karaan na setting. I find it amazing how people back then live with just the resources available and the absence of advance technology we have today. I think, bright jud cla because pioneer jud cla sa tanan na knowledge na we know today. Anyways, I suggest you watch these shows if you don't have anything else to do. Enjoy :) :) :)

   

The Vampire Diaries S4

Season 4 was a whirlwind, I may say. A lot has happened. Just when you thought everything's gonna be fine, another troublemaker comes in town to stir things up or an unexpected thing would cause a great deal for our dear vampires. Stefan, Elena and Damon love triangle really had it's ups and downs. I've always rooted for DELENA since Season 1, and after four seasons, they're finally together, at least, for now. Who knows, what dilemma they will be facing in the following season. I have to enjoy it while it lasts :) Anyways, the finale episode for season 4 was just one heck of shocker. Damon and Stefan got to spend a little time with their friends, Alaric and Lexi, which came back from the dead just for a while, before the veil's back up. Jeremy's back from the dead. Bonnie's dead, which is really sad. Bonnie played a very important part, being a witch and all, and now, she's gone. Silas true self, is a doppelganger of Stefan Salvatore. Gosh! I can't bare to imagine what evil things he'll do to the rest of the gang. I'm so not looking forward for Tyler's return. And oh, by the way, Elena made Katherine take the cure. Technically, Katherine's gonna be human from now on or at least for now.

The positives. I'm so loving the Klaus+Caroline team up. "He's your first love, I intend to be your last, however long it takes." - Klaus. *kilig. 

Also, the scene where Elena confronted Damon with her feelings. "I'm not sorry I'm in love with you. I love you, Damon." - Elena. *superkilig. 

I hope for the best for my team ups for the next season. <3
