Meet Rebecca: Thoughts on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Season 4, with spoilers

Courtesy of Amazon

I have been a fan of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend since the very first episode. While I'm sad that it will no longer be around, I'm also glad I was prepared for the finality well in advance. Rachel Bloom is destined for even more greatness and I am excited to see what she'll do next. What I loved about this show was the homage paid to musical theater, the honest and sensitive addressing of mental illness, the Jewish references, the secondary characters, the quirkiness and humor, and the meta moments, amongst other things. It was just such a great series and I hope you will give it a chance if you haven't seen it yet. It's available on Netflix and worth binge watching. However, if you're new to this series (or haven't watched this season yet), don't read any further for now, as there will be some spoilers ahead. (This post will still be here when you're done with the entire series.)

Some thoughts on season four before I share my top 10 favorite songs....

*I loved the theme song. It had a catchy sitcom tune to it and some funny lines delivered by the wrong Rebecca. (Spoiler, this will be on my favorite songs list.)

*While Skylar Astin is attractive and a good actor and singer, I did not think he should have played Greg 2.0. I would have been fine with him being a new love interest for Rebecca instead. I know she had unfinished business with Greg, but such is life. I just never felt the same connection to his character as I did when Santino Fontana was Greg. The new version of Greg just made me miss Santino so much more. I tried. I really, really, REALLY tried. But it never stuck!

*I love that some secondary characters were given more of a story line this season. One of my favorite episodes is when Nathaniel dreams about being in a rom com. Maya has a big role in this episode too, and it made me ship them. I also liked that more secondary characters got their own songs.

*I don't necessarily agree with Rebecca trying to possibly start things up again with Josh. They're much better as friends and roommates.

*While I was a bit lukewarm on the finale (there should have been more songs), I like where they ultimately took the story. It was so meta!

*I guess I was surprised that Rebecca can't sing, even though she sounds great in her head. It makes me think of myself in some ways. (I sound good to myself when I'm randomly singing stuff, but if I listen to a recording of my singing, I cringe and wonder if other people think I sound that bad.)

*One of my other favorite episodes is about Rebecca not taking care of herself mentally and Paula not taking care of herself physically. It leads to a scary diagnosis for Paula, but thankfully it is resolved. I even was given signs to look out for, so that's a plus!

*I like that Darryl has a new significant other and how their daughters "Parent Trapped" them initially.

*I like the addition of AJ this season. I originally saw the actor in Love, Simon.

*One of the funniest things was when Rebecca was looking for Audra and some girls were complaining about a woman yelling "Sheket Bevakasha". Rebecca knew it was Audra right away, but who even yells that at people unless they're a Hebrew school teacher? I'm Jewish and I don't even say that to my kids.

*I just really want a soft pretzel right now. Perhaps Rebetzel's needs to be a real thing!

Now for my favorite songs of season four:
1. "Meet Rebecca!" (The theme song I was mentioning earlier.)
2. "Don't Be a Lawyer" (Funny song in the style of Bobby Brown's "Every Little Step." I also like that Jim got his own song.)
3. "Our Twisted Fate" (Very clever, with animation and a Simon and Garfunkel feel.)
4. "I Want To Be a Child Star" (I saw Luca Padovan on YOU this past year and had no idea at the time that he could sing so well. Apparently I missed the memo about him being on Broadway. This kid is going places and I hope he will be on more shows that can portray his talent in this way.)
5. "The Group Mind Has Decided You're in Love" (A quirky Oklahoma number about shipping people.)
6. "What U Missed While U Were Popular" (George makes a good point and also makes it cool to be a nerd.)
7. "Gratuitous Karaoke Moment" (From the rom com episode featuring Nathaniel and Maya. Cute song that would totally fit into a rom com.)
8. "Love's Not a Game" (Fun Guys and Dolls song. It was nice to see WhiJo take the lead on a song.)
9. "There's No Bathroom" (I know this is super short, but it's a parody of one of my favorite season one songs, sung by Weird Al! The best is at the end when he says "Don't poop in my balloon" and he has this funny expression on his face.)
10. "Anti-Depressants Are So Not a Big Deal" (Reminiscent of La La Land and even featured the actress from the beginning of the movie. Discusses the stigma around antidepressants.)

Thanks again to Rachel Bloom for such an awesome and unforgettable series that I'll still be thinking about for years to come!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on season four!

Eight is NOT enough: Thoughts on Russian Doll

Photo courtesy of womentainment.com

A while back, my husband sent me a trailer for a new Netflix series called Russian Doll. It had a similar premise to Groundhog Day, at first glance. Then I heard around social media that it was quite different from that 90's classic rom-com. For one thing, Russian Doll is not a romantic comedy. It's not necessarily a thriller either (like Happy Death Day 2U). It's more surreal than anything else, but it's also a powerful and complex series that I really hope will continue into another season.

It's hard to find a decent synopsis that doesn't give a multitude of spoilers. I found this on IMDb:
On Nadia's 36th birthday she is struck by a car and killed, only to finds herself alive and well, back at her own birthday party earlier that night. When she dies again and her timeline resets, Nadia begins to question her own sanity as she strives to unravel the mystery of why and how this is all happening.

Here are eight reasons you should watch (since there are only eight episodes):
1. It stars Natasha Lyonne. She first comes off as similar to Nicky on Orange is the New Black, but she has more layers and the red curls just top it all off.
2. There's another actress from Orange on this show, Dascha Polanco, who plays a complete contrast to her role as Daya on that show. I was hoping for a meta moment, but it never materialized.
3. The song that keeps playing is rather catchy. My husband and I thought it had a Ben Folds feel to it.
4. A teen actor from the 90's, Brendan Sexton III., is on this show, but totally unrecognizable. See if you can figure out who he is without consulting IMDb. (He was in Empire Records and Welcome to the Dollhouse back in the day.)
5. Chloe Sevigny plays Nadia's mom in flashback scenes. She kind of looks like Sarah Jessica Parker in this role.
6. The visuals are interesting to watch. At first the blue tinted shape on the bathroom door is strange, but then it just grows on you. It's a similar color to the fish tank in Alan's house.
7. It just messes with your mind a lot and there are so many questions and answers to ponder. Another reason I am hoping for more seasons.
8. Something about the bond between Nadia and Alan (Charlie Barnett) just does me in. I nearly cried toward the end of the final episode. I'm shipping them hard and am not ready to let go of either yet. They're both so beautifully broken and strange circumstances brought them together.

Fair warning, some parts are a bit gross. Especially in episode seven. The funny and emotional moments balance those parts out though.

I will NOT be posting any spoilers since I still can't wrap my head around everything, but you're welcome to share your own thoughts in the comments section. (For those of you who haven't seen it, don't read the comments if you are planning on watching at some point.)

Thoughts on A Million Little Things (with spoilers at the end)

Photo from abc.go.com

Last fall, I kept promising myself I wouldn't watch any new shows. Then my friend told me I should be watching A Million Little Things. She explained the premise and I was curious enough to check out the first episode. Then I kept watching until I was caught up and could just check in on a weekly basis. It's marketed for fans of This is Us and it has all the feels like that show does. The cast, aside from Ron Livingston, was a bunch of unknown or vaguely familiar actors, as far as I was concerned. Fast forward a few months and I got a thrill from one of them replying to my tweet recently.

The premise from Wikipedia doesn't tell much, as to avoid spoilers:
Set in Boston, a tight-knit circle of friends is shocked after a member of the group dies from suicide unexpectedly. Each friend realizes that they need to finally start living life as they cope with their loss. The title is a reference to the saying "Friendship isn't a big thing – it's a million little things."

My take (no spoilers):
The series started out with Rome (Romany Malco) standing in his kitchen trying to kill himself with a combination of pills. Then he gets a call that his friend Jon actually killed himself and spits them into the sink. However, he doesn't get rid of his note, which causes problems later on. We learn about Jon through the eyes of his widow, children, friends, and people who are keeping his secrets. Ron Livingston plays Jon and we see him during flashback scenes. Jon's friend Gary (James Roday), who is in remission from breast cancer (yes, men can get it too), meets Maggie (Allison Miller, who looks like a cross between Drew Barrymore and Katharine Heigl) at a cancer support group meeting. He then brings her to Jon's funeral where she instantly becomes friends with Delilah (Jon's widow, played by Stéphanie Szostak) and Regina (Rome's wife, played by Christina Moses). Jon's friend Eddie (David Giuntoli) is having problems connecting with his workaholic wife Katherine (Grace Park), which leads him to seek affection elsewhere.

The initial thing that brought all four men together is that they were trapped in an elevator and started bonding. Jon made a promise to look after all of them and asked them to do the same for him. (At least that's what I remember.) There are other complications on the show, such as Jon's assistant Ashley (Christina Ochoa) keeping secrets for him, Maggie refusing to get chemo for her breast cancer, Eddie and Katherine separating, Delilah and Regina trying to open a restaurant, Rome struggling with depression, etc. I don't want to say any more as to not spoil it. There are some joyful moments as well as some heartbreaking ones. All in all, it's worth a binge-watch, if you haven't seen it yet.

Not too late to turn back...








Last chance!


I wanted to share some thoughts with other fans, as well as say who my top five favorite characters are.

Favorite characters:
1. Katherine--At first I didn't know what to expect from her. She seemed quiet and closed off. Then when she started showing more emotion, she really stood out and I started to like her the most. She even helps Delilah, after everything that happened with the affair. I really hope she and Eddie can work things out, as I like them together the more I see glimpses from the past.
2. Regina--She's a very powerful and emotionally charged character and I enjoyed seeing her succeed with the restaurant.
3. Gary--He's another one who grew on me after a while. At first I was annoyed at him for pressuring Maggie into getting chemo, but there are so many things about him to love. Especially how he treats kids and dogs. And, of course, how devoted he is to Maggie.
4. Danny--It's nice to see a pre-teen boy trying to figure things out for himself in regards to being gay. He just seems like a sweet kid.
5. Maggie--She is complex and has a lot of layers, but she's just instantly likable. I love when she was teaching Sophie how to drive. I just find it annoying that everyone treats her like a therapist because that's her job. It's like they take advantage of her friendship to resolve their emotional issues.

I wouldn't say I hate anyone on the show, aside from Regina's uncle, but there are some characters I take issue with. Eddie and Delilah for not only having an affair but also being dishonest about who the baby's father is. Eddie is attractive, so it's hard to stay mad at him. I was also annoyed that even though he was the one who strayed from his marriage, he was also the one saying that he and Katherine should get divorced. And now that things are good between them, he wants to start telling the truth about fathering Delilah's baby. If he had been up front to begin with, it's something they also could have worked on. Now that Delilah is about to have the baby, this is going to ruin things with Katherine all over again. Also, I thought it was impulsive and a bit selfish of him to go off touring with his band. He's a father with responsibilities!

Delilah also annoys me with how she acts all helpless one moment and then all strong and independent the next. She comes off as "cutesy" in a way that's hard to explain.

Then there's Ashley, who has been shifty and secretive while also trying to help Jon's family. The letter Jon wrote was nothing that needed to be hidden for so long.

Everyone else is in a neutral, but good place for me, i.e. Rome, Theo, Sophie, and Jon.

The final episode of the season revealed some interesting information, such as Jon's connection with Barbara Morgan and the revelation that P.J. (Rome's new friend, if we call him that....there's more of a father figure thing going on) is Barbara's son, whom she was most likely pregnant with before she met Mitch. Also that Regina is adamant about not wanting kids, which I hope won't cause a rift between her and Rome.

What are your thoughts? What do you think is in store for season two?

Thoughts on Manifest season 1...with spoilers (at the end)

Courtesy of YouTube

Back in 2012, I read a really good novel called Down to Earth (reviewed here). It was about a woman who goes skydiving and lands six-and-a-half years later. She's presumed missing and when she returns, her relationships aren't what they used to be.

When my friend told me about Manifest, it brought back memories of reading this novel and I knew I had to watch it. I went back later to find my review and saw that the main character's name was Michaela, just like one of the main characters on the show! There's a story line in this series that reminds me of another book I enjoyed, One True Loves (reviewed here). And there's even a character named Olive in that one, just like Ben's daughter.

Anyway, Manifest is a fascinating and somewhat terrifying show. It makes me nervous to get onto an airplane again, knowing what happened. Even if it is totally surreal. It's produced by Robert Zemeckis, who wrote one of my all-time favorite time travel films, Back to the Future. While Manifest has an aspect of time travel in a future direction, it also doesn't have a way for the characters to go back to the past to fix everything. (Like not get on that flight in the first place.)

There are aspects of other series that I really like, such as Orphan Black (all the conspiracies and people being chased around) and Stranger Things (Cal reminds me so much of Will, especially when he's connected to other characters). I like how they explore grief, difficult decisions, health issues, etc. The main mystery is what happened to Flight 828 and its passengers for five-and-a-half years. It was a blip in time to everyone on the plane, but it felt much longer to those on the ground who missed their loved ones and thought they were gone for good. There's a lot of psychology to explore for both everyone in the air and everyone on the ground. The callings have both psychic and religious aspects to them and I know there's a lot to figure out with those. I liked what some of them led to though. There's a lot of numerology, as well. (I even pointed that out in my review for Down to Earth, oddly enough.)

I don't want to give too much away here, so I'll share a trailer for those who haven't seen it and then share some further thoughts below. So please stop at the trailer if you don't want to see spoilers. Even if you think the show is cheesy or bizarre, it's a lot of fun to play MST3K with. My husband and I are constantly making comments to amuse each other while we watch it. And we both like this show a lot!



SPOILERS BELOW. Last chance to turn back...

All I know is that season two HAS to happen. Season one had such a cliffhanger at the end. Who got shot: Mick, Jared, or Zeke? Any guesses? Also, The Major is going to be Saanvi's therapist? Yikes! I really hope it was an innocent mistake from the hot doctor's end because I really don't want him to be a bad guy. There are enough of them on this show! Also, I was hoping Vance wouldn't actually be dead and would show up in the end. Is that too much to ask for? Cal's prediction matching the date that Olive and Ben figured out gave me chills. And I had a feeling Grace would be pregnant with Danny's baby. Not surprising at all. I still want Saanvi and Ben to hook up. There's so much sexual tension between them. Maybe now Ben has an excuse to make it happen.

Here are my favorite and least favorite characters.

Favorite:
1. Saanvi
2. Olive
3. Cal
4. Ben (even though he does get in over his head, his heart is in the right place)
5. Zeke: I know he seems shifty, but I feel like he should be trusted.

Least Favorite:
1. Mick: She basically screwed over her best friend when she slept with Jared. When Lourdes got together with Jared, it was under the assumption that Mick was dead. Lourdes is clearly not dead and I feel bad for her.
2. Grace: Who actually likes her at all? There's no love for Grace as far as I know. She kicked Ben out for trying to protect his family and now she suddenly believes him after she didn't the first 10 times he told her to trust him?
3. Autumn: Even though she helped Mick in the end, I still don't trust her.
4. The Major: Obviously. I think she wants to hurt Cal.
5. Jared: Cheated on his wife and now he's being a jerk to Zeke.
6. Griffin: Such a horrible excuse for a human being. He got what was coming to him by trying to abuse the callings.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the show along with favorites and least favorites. If it gets renewed, where do you think the story will go next? What do you think really happened to Flight 828?

No Day But Today: Thoughts on RENT Live

Photo from The Stranger

Anyone who knows me knows what a huge Rentaholic I am. I can't always remember why I walked into a room, but I can sing the entire soundtrack...if you let me. I've seen the show many times, the last two being somewhat more amateur productions at a community college and a community theater. I saw the movie in 2005, but was disappointed with how many songs they took out. So while the prospect of a live-televised production was exciting, I also had some reservations. I knew I would watch it either way. (And thanks to Fox.com's difficulty with streaming, I had to wait until the next day to watch. The upside was very quick commercial breaks.)

Overall, I was impressed. Rent is a hard show to pull off really well and the energy and camaraderie from the cast was prevalent throughout. This is the first time I cried over a significant character's death since I first saw it on stage (after seeing it so many times, I became more desensitized to it). I enjoyed it for the most part and smiled and laughed a lot, as well. I think a lot of people are being too hard on it. I just had fun watching for the nostalgic feel it gave off.

If you have never seen Rent before (it's only been 23 years, what are you waiting for?), you may want to first watch the filmed Broadway production. That one has the best feel for the musical.

Some other random thoughts, in no particular order:
*I felt that everyone fit well into their parts. Mark's mom seemed a bit over the top, but she was funny.

*Angel's voice was weak, but her personality and style made up for it in spades. I couldn't help but love her. She looked like Adam Lambert without the elaborate costumes on.

*Tinashe was cute as Mimi. I thought she sang well, despite what everyone else has been saying.

*I didn't buy into Roger on an emotional level, but he had a good voice.

*Jordan Fisher was adorable as Mark. I've never seen any Mark crying during "Halloween," but I love that he did that.

*Brandon Victor Dixon was amazing as Collins. He balanced out Angel's voice when they sang together. (Side note: I love the part in "I'll Cover You" when they're climbing the playground equipment and she jumps into his arms.)

*I loved that aside from the "Seasons of Love" soloist, Keala Settle (from The Greatest Showman) was also the support group leader and Roger's mom. She has a wonderful voice and such great stage presence.

*I thought the "Seasons of Love" blocking was interesting. It was a new way of thinking about the song.

*They left out a LOT of lines in songs and changed wording when it wasn't always necessary (i.e. the very beginning). I was especially annoyed that they didn't include the two lines that Mark and Roger yell at each other at the end of "Halloween." They also omitted the "Seasons of Love" reprise.

*I was surprised they didn't change certain words in "La Vie Boheme" and that they performed "Contact". My 13 year-old son didn't hear the words in question and didn't really understand what was happening in "Contact," thankfully. He said it gave him more context for what happened next.

*The set was cool. It took on the feeling of NYC really well. What was weird was that it was sort of in the round and if they put up a wall on stage, half the people couldn't see it. The same is true for any above-the-audience action. They kept filming things in a circle, which was hard to watch sometimes.

*I thought it was weird when people who didn't have AIDS sang part of "Will I?".

*I didn't like that people were screaming for the actor who played Roger when he was singing "What You Own." It was distracting. And Jordan should have gotten more audience love too. Just saying...

*I have to wonder how much was pre-recorded and how much was done live? They had to show scenes from the dress rehearsal if Roger was in them because he broke his foot. However, they all came together on stage at the end.

*I thought it was strange that they set it in 1991, since it came out in 1996 and that's closer to the "end of the millenium." In the stage production, they don't mention years.

*The actresses playing Maureen (Vanessa Hudgens) and Joanne (Kiersey Clemons) were perfect in their roles and really gave it their all during "Take Me or Leave Me." I loved Maureen's cow hat in "Over the Moon," but didn't think it was necessary for her to fly above the audience during the "mooing" part.

*At various times, they included little monologues about AIDS and homelessness. That was different from the stage production.

*I enjoyed the tributes and nods to Jonathan Larson. It's still so sad to think that he never got his own glory of seeing the success of Rent.

*The "Easter egg" of Mark's original shirt was so funny and awesome.

If you saw Rent Live, what were your thoughts? 

Stick it to the man: My thoughts on School of Rock

I saw the movie School of Rock back in 2004 and enjoyed it at the time. I saw it again about 10 years later with my kids and still thought it was a lot of fun. I had no idea it would be turned into a musical and wasn't sure what to expect from it. However, I was really impressed!

This past weekend, my husband, kids and I saw School of Rock at the National Theatre in DC. It was a surprise for the kids and my oldest figured it out after a while. My younger two thought we were seeing a movie. We got the tickets through TodayTix back when they had their Cyber Monday sales. The only drawback is that you don't get to pick your exact seats. They had us over on the far right of the orchestra section. We could see, but with some heads blocking our view, it was hard to get in the full stage.

My husband forgot he wasn't seeing Newsies :)

Here are my thoughts:

*I was surprised at the amount of swearing with kids around, both in the show and in the audience. I feel like the stage production was marketed as being family friendly, so I didn't see that coming.

*I enjoyed the music. Some of the songs were from the movie and some were written for the musical. Out of the new songs, I especially liked "If Only You Would Listen," "Time to Play," and "Stick It to the Man."

*While I love that they played "Edge of Seventeen" at the bar, Rosalie's song afterward ("Where Did the Rock Go?") felt kind of slow.

*The kids were fantastic! They had lots of energy and talent, great voices, and were funny. Billy said my favorite line from the movie: "You're tacky and I hate you." The girl who played Summer was adorable!

*The ensemble cast was strong, but it got confusing when some people played three different roles.

*We had an understudy for Dewey, Liam Fennecken. He did a great job and fit the part well. He was very likable and used a lot of physical comedy.

*The set was cool. There were a lot of different parts to it that moved around nicely to fit each scene.

A glimpse of the classroom, from The New York Times

*There were a lot of laugh-out-loud moments. Of course, some of those went over my kids' heads. I especially love that Dewey improvised a line about the government shutdown.

*At one point, Billy brought out a costume he designed and the mannequin was wearing a Rocky Horror shirt! :)

*The ending was slightly different, but it was still good. I would have not noticed the difference if my husband hadn't pointed it out.

*My daughter had the best time and was rockin' out by the end. She said it's her favorite musical now.

Overall,  it was a great show that my entire family enjoyed. It was hard not to clap along with the music! I recommend it for a fun day or evening out when it comes to your town.
