TV | Just Watched: Grace and Frankie (Sunday Shorts)

Hi there, beauties! How are you all doing?

Welcome to another of my Sunday Shorts posts! Today, I'll be talking about yet another Netflix Original series, Grace and Frankie. Check out the trailer below  ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ




I absolutely adore this show. I watched it all the way through twice within two weeks! I didn't mean to ahaha, I enjoyed it that much that I was looking for something similar in the "Because you watched 'Grace and Frankie'" section, but there was nothing similar enough there so I just watched it again!

Like always, I won't tell you more than what the trailer does. Basically, both Grace (Jane Fonda) and Frankie's (Lily Tomlin) husbands decide to divorce them, in order to marry each other! Whaaaaaaaaaat ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ This is like, after fifty~ years of marriage, when they're in their seventies, and after spending that long together, thinking you know someone, to have that bombshell dropped? Phew, forget about it!

It's an incredibly good show! Honestly, it's fantastic at showing both sides to the story, because obviously at first you're angry at the husbands for betraying Grace and Frankie, but then you learn how they've been in love and hiding it for decades, and it's just a great and brutally honest example of how nothing is black and white, especially in relationships.

I enjoyed this so much. It's incredibly refreshing to have a show centered on the later stages of life, and to have a show focused on the end of a relationship, and how it makes way for new beginnings and connections. It was a fantastic reality check, as you honestly never know how your life is going to turn out, and the terrifying knowledge that you aren't always going to know the person you're with 100%, even if you've been together over 50 years, people always surprise you. What a terrifying thought, eh! (,,#ﾟДﾟ)

But no really, Grace and Frankie is charming, honest, funny, and so much more. I would really recommend it to anyone who fancies whiling away their Sunday afternoon on Netflix ahaha, it's very witty and genuinely lovely. Just very enjoyable to watch, really ＾ω＾

TV | Just Watched: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Sunday Shorts)

Hi everybody! Welcome to another Sunday Shorts! I meant to do a post before, but I had an essay due in Friday, and you know how it goes ヽ(*’-^*)。

I quite like these posts, makes a change from being obsessed with (and therefore spending far too much money on) Korean beauty products ahahaha. I've given you a couple of books recently, but Easter break has arrived, which means that as I'm not gonna be getting the train anymore, I won't be reading. I just have other things to do, like studying, plus I have a book at home I'm reading at the moment (Lirael, if anyone's interested). So, I have wayyy more time on my hands to do things like, I don't know, watch TV ahahaha.

I'm a bit of a Netflix binger. But come on, who isn't nowadays?  (≧∇≦)/ A show that came out earlier this month on Netflix as an original series was Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a show by Tina Fey (30 Rock, etc.).




Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is about a woman who was kept underground in an apocalypse bunker for 15 years, after she was kidnapped at the age of 14. Told by her captor that the world had ended, she and three other women (two captured, one who willingly joned the cult) lived in close quarters believing everything outside was hellfire and being told their crazy preacher kidnapper's own personal warped version of the bible. After being rescued, Kimmy tries to live her life and experience the world as much as possible, starting with moving to New York City!
I really liked this series. I really enjoyed 30 Rock so I figured I'd like this as well, but I actually much, much prefer it! I thought it was a really funny show, and downright hilarious in places (Titus in the last episode, for instance ahahaha), plus all the way through it was just so happy and nice that I ended up sitting through every episode with a big smile slapped on my face ahaha  ヽ(*⌒∇⌒*)ﾉ
It's short and sweet, only 13 episodes I think, and it's kind of just a joy to watch. That sounds dumb, but it's true! It's funny, it's feel-good, the storyline is a fascinating premise which is bizarre to watch in comedy form, but it kind of works. I binge watched this in like, two days ahahah, I just thought it was plain lovely and funny. I'd really recommend it if you're in need of a new feel-good comedy show to watch!
