insecure review- By Neha

so I was looking for tv shows to watch and oh my god, this one was so good, the end of the tv series brought tears to my eyes, and considering I am an emotional person and I do cry pretty easily at things that are so beautiful, this show was definitely something everyone would find beautiful, and you know that feeling when a really good tv show ends and it hurts so bad. 

insecure is about Issa who's in a relationship with a guy struggling to get his shit together. and she breaks up with him because of that, and I'm sure this is not a spoiler, after they break up he gets it together and Issa starts feeling guilty, and there's molly, her best friend who's a successful lawyer, and Issa who's sort of struggling in her job, the tv show is all about Issa finding herself as we move through, insecure is all about dating, being broke, and friendship and oh my god the jokes in this tv show is indescribable, 

Best friends Issa and Molly belong to the same social background and face similar experiences. They always strive to find solutions to their problems by facing them together.

and it's about how best friends are always there for each other no matter what and will love you unconditionally, it's like the saying that goes, friends are the family we choose to keep and love. all the drama and her feeling guilty for certain things really show how we make mistakes but we learn from them. and it really shows her character development. and her relationship with her best friend.

Insecure is an American comedy-drama television series created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore and is partially based on Rae's acclaimed web series Awkward Black Girl.[2][3][4][5] The series is about the awkward experiences of a contemporary African-American woman. The series premiered online on September 23, 2016, via HBO Now and HBO Go, before airing weekly on HBO from October 9, 2016

and I'm someone who gets really attached to certain things and oh my god, I could not stop bawling my eyes out when this tv show ended, I flew through the seasons without even realizing. 

i enjoyed writing this blog as much as I loved watching insecure, and I hope you guys liked it too. That's it for this one guys, ciao! 

cutlery they use in friends

 I know that there are going to be some really crazy friends fans out there like me, who would want to buy everything, friends, and I don't mean just the merch, I mean the exact things they use in friends, like cutlery and interior(!!) for example, and that's why I wanted to write this blog, because I'm a huge friends fan, and a lot of people can usually tell because of my                Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsnehamadhukar/  

and as I watch friends, I see all these cutlery and multiple other things they use in friends, and I google them, and it's really hard to get the exact same glass or cups or cookie jar. and by cookie jar, I don't mean any cookie jar, I mean this: 

the one right behind Lisa Kudrow. yeah, so I have no idea where you can find this cookie jar, thank you, and bye.... 

yeah, I found it, took me hours but here it is the friends cookie jar: https://www.amazon.com/Friends-Merchandise-Cookie-Monica-Geller/dp/B0969RXXBG

I know, what yall are thinking, it's on Amazon, so it didn't take a long time to find, but I swear to god when I googled "friends cookie jar" only the central perk cookie jar came up, and then after 3 hours and 18 minutes I found this. oh by the way just so you guys know, it doesn't ship to India. and its 64 dollars :) 

the next one is the wine glasses, you know the glasses where Monica brought out when Rachel was telling "the" story, I'm not telling you guys what "the" story is because it's a spoiler. 

https://www.amazon.in/Libbey-Premiere-Cobalt-2-Ounce-Glass/dp/B0000CFMG6

 I know what you guys are thinking (or probably not?) bad choice of wine glasses. but if you're a huge friends fan, you probably might but this. I'm already thinking about buying this for my apartment in NYC when I'm older.

the next thing is the light blue water glasses. if you guys have no idea what I'm talking about, its this:

yeah that iced blue glass, of course, you could just google "iced blue glasses" but this makes it so much easier..... somehow

https://in.pinterest.com/pin/68679963055580674/

well, I'm not exactly sure where you can get them, but it was on Pinterest. and I think it was on eBay, so look for yourselves.

anyway, I guess that's it for this blog because I guess that's all that I can find, idk? anyway comment down below if you guys found it kind of helpful, in some way, 

mumbai diaries 26/11 review -by Neha

a new web series was released 3 days ago on prime video called Mumbai diaries 26/11,

 and I'm sure most of you guys must have seen this. the series imitates the real incident that happened in the taj hotel on 26th November 2008, it happened almost exactly13 years ago. the screenplay that is written is amazing. it's like you're waiting to find out what's going to happen next, they did a great job keeping the audience on their toes. the story is about 3 resident trainee doctors who are trying to join the government hospital. Doctors, nurses, first responders, and other hospital personnel deal with a crisis of immense magnitude in Mumbai.

all the characters are well executed. this is a really good show you guys could watch it. and the storyline is very well done. this show is 4 stars from me. 

facts about friends! -By Neha

https://www.instagram.com/itsnehamadhukar/if you guys have been reading my blogs or if you guys follow me on instagram: (@itsnehamadhukar https://www.instagram.com/itsnehamadhukar/ )
you know that friends is my favourite tv show. and i love writing blogs about it. and most of them also get a lot of views, so i decided to do another one. in this one i'll be stating facts about friends you probably didn't know. and i also research about my favourite tv shows and movies A LOT, so i already know these. 

1. jennifer aniston actually auditioned for monica and courteney cox auditioned for the role of rachel, but she convinced the producers and directors that she herself was actually a lot alike monica (a neat freak and super organized) and so the role of monica was given to courtney, and the role of rachel was given to jennifer. i can't imagine anyone else playing monica, but jen playing monica and courtney playing rachel? i gotta admit that would be interesting. and jennifer is also the godmother of courtney's daughter coco arquette. that is so sweet. they're just like monica and rachel in real life and that makes me so happy. 

2. the iconic orange friends couch was actually found in the basement of the warner bros  studios, they probably used it as an extra but its so iconic. the couch that was in the basement is now the iconic friends couch. the couch is also used in the intro. now i'm pretty sure this is not just me, but some dedicated friends fans never skip the intro, i just have never skipped the intro. it makes me smile and dance with them and the reason why friends is so iconic and popularized because everything about this show is amazing and iconic. 

3. all the friends keep in touch with each other and hang out with each other. almost like in the series, lisa kudrow said in the reunion"we keep in touch with each other, maybe not everyday but we do. being a part of this show has bonded us in such a way that we can't forget" (i've seen the reunion 3 times but i'm still not exactly sure if she says the last word. so excuse me if i've said it wrong) what she said brought tears to my eyes, it's really beautiful, i've seen quite a few tv series and sitcoms in where, the actors are not how they seem on tv, but in friends it's sort of exactly like the tv show and that's what makes me so happy, that their lives are actually like that, and i keep imagining how amazing it would be to be a part of this friend group. and while they were greeting each other at the beginning of the friends reunion, you can truly tell how close they are with each other. and yes im crying as i'm writing this. this entire friend group just makes me so happy, 

4. do you guys remember at the end of each episode this pops up: 

does this name sound familiar? well it's  because these are the last names of three people that is kevin s bright, martha kauffman and david crane. david crane and marta kauffman actually created the series. i love that there is a meaning behind this end slate. i remember (i mean when i didn't know the meaning behind this, i watch friends everyday i wouldn't say i remember for that.) looking at this end slate and thinking about what it means and wondered if it was just some names of the producers and it definitely sounded familiar. it was revealed in the reunion about the end slate. 

5. i don't know if you guys noticed this but friends has always been on the top 10 list on netflix 

when the reunion first aired friends was on top 1 again. this is the thing that amazes me, after 27 years, it's still on top 10. im probably responsible for half of that. friends is my comfort show and i watch it all the time. i've seen all of the 10 seasons of friends 10 times. in 1 year. i know. 

6. im sure many of you have heard of this but friends was originally called Insomnia Café

 and six of one. (and so many other things) insomnia cafe sounds very weird and doesn't really make sense, and it was also called six of one because. there were six people in the group and all of them were one together. but the producers decided to go with friends. it's such a simple word, but because of this show the word "friends" is so popular, even when you search friends the definition of friends doesn't show up, what shows up is the tv show. and the show is just amazing, every aspect it is just beautiful. there's not only laughter but also tears. and how they all get through it together. 

7. david schwimmer was kept in mind when ross was written. i wasn't really surprised when i read this. you can tell david schwimmer and ross are very similar. 

david schwimmer had actually quit acting and he started acting in plays  He was also "fed up" with the industry after a bad experience on an unnamed, short-lived series he starred in. "I told my agents not to send me anything," he said. "I was in Chicago doing a play with my company [Lookingglass Theatre Company.] I got the call from my agent, and she said, 'Look, I know you told me not to send you anything, but there's a show I really think you should take a look at.'"

Schwimmer's agent went on to explain that the show was written by Marta Kauffman and David Krane, who wrote the pilot for a show he had previously auditioned for. "And I go, 'Oh, yes. I remember loving the writing.' And she said the magic words to me: 'It's an ensemble show. There's no star. There are six people, all similar age,'" Schwimmer revealed. "And I say, 'O.K., I'll read it, but I'm not going to do it.'" and so he loved the script, obviously how could he not its friends. the writers revealed some of this in the reunion. 

8. when the cast received their paycheck check,

 matt leblanc bought himself a nice hot dinner, where as courtney cox bought herself a car, when matt leblanc auditioned for friends he had 11 dollars in his pocket. and he had an injury where a thick piece of skin came out of his nose, and a huge scar was left on his nose. 

9. joey and monica were actually supposed to be the main couple

 but they ssw the chemistry between david and jennifer and they were the main couple and plus jen and david actually crushing on each other (I JUST CAN'T ANYMORE) so win win. but it would be interesting to watch joey and monica as a couple, how amazing would that be? but at the same time i love monica and chandler so... i guess it would be fun if they wrote monica and joey as a couple in one of the episodes. 

10. the opening credits were actually not shot in new york. i still can't believe this is true, i thought the opening credits was shot at a set or at central park. but it wasn't shot in new york, but fans can still visit it.  it was actually shot in los angeles

Before the series decided on the opening credits sequence, there was a plan to film the cast on a rooftop. The series was shot at Warner Bros. Studios, so the showrunners hoped the Los Angeles background could pass for New York City. The rooftop idea proved to be too expensive so the crew went searching for a backdrop around the studios' backlot. They came upon a fountain sitting in front of row houses that were originally built in the 1930s. The cast was then brought in and wound up filming the opener at four in the morning. They weren't exactly pleased with the cold conditions, especially when they had to jump in the water, but it turned out better than expected.

Even though Friends fans won't be able to visit the filming location of the opening in New York, they can still find in California. The iconic fountain can be seen during the Warner Bros. studio lot tour and visitors are even given the chance to take photos in front of it. Even more interesting is the fact that the same location was used for a scene in Hocus Pocus. The fountain can be seen in the movie which came out in 1993, a year before Friends premiered. Rather than act as New York City, this version of the fountain was supposed to reside in Salem, Massachusetts.

and how do i know all of this? well i did some research and read a ton of trivia books about friends. (not for writing this blog, because i find it fun) 

anyway that's it for this blog, i hope you guys liked it. i've wanted to write this from a long time but i've been putting it off because it takes such a long time, but i knew it was going to be worth it. and that's an ideal day for me, i could talk about friends all day and i did. i'll see you guys in the next one. caio! 

my opinions on la casa de papel a.k..a money heist

I'm pretty sure most of you know this tv show called "la casa de Papel" a.k.a money heist. 

this is a very popular tv series on Netflix which is originally in Spanish but I'm sure you guys have seen it in English.  

this is why I think that the tv show is called la casa de Papel (which translates to "the house of paper" in Spanish) because they raid the bank, and the bank is the place where they print money (in la casa de Papel) and that's why its called la casa de Papel. 

and the intro looks like the picture above. 

When Money Heist made its debut on Spanish television in 2017, nobody knew that three years down the line, it would become the most-watched non-English language series on Netflix globally. Created by Álex Pina, Money Heist has an ensemble cast comprising of actors like Álvaro Morte, Úrsula Coberó, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herrán, Jaime Lorente and Esther Acebo, among others. It was recently renewed for its fifth and final season by the streaming giant. It, however, debuted on Spanish network Antena 3 in 2017 as La Casa de Papel, which means The Paper House. It got the name Money Heist when Netflix acquired it for its international audience.

and it was also supposed to be a limited series with 2 episodes. but it had a lot to the story. 

and you guys must have seen the fifth season, but I didn't know that it was the last season until my dad told me.  

I started watching season 1 yesterday and I'm already on season 2 today... 

my dad used to watch it when it first came out in 2017, and he loved it (obviously) but I was also watching it with him before and I didn't like it, because I thought that there was a lot of violence. it is violent, but now that I'm older I feel like it wasn't just violence. there's also a lot of beautiful moments about life and family and friends, I love this show, it's my 3rd favorite TV SHOW. I meant tv show, not movie so the first is not titanic, if you guys can guess what my 1st and 2nd tv shows are, comment down below! 

that's it for this one, I'll catch you guys in the next one, ciao! 

he's all that might be the worst teen movie of 2021 so far?

he's all that is a new Netflix movie starring Addison rae, who is a huge tik tok star with over 83 million followers on TikTok. he's all that is a remake of the 90's teen hit film "she's all that"

(but the genders are reversed) starring Freddie Prinze jr. (who is also in this movie.) and Rachel Leigh cook (who plays the main character's mother in he's all that) Addison rae is good at dancing don't get me wrong, but acting just isn't for her, she looked emotionless when she was delivering lines that were meant to be emotional. I'm sure you guys have seen very bad reviews stating that this movie's cringy and bad...... 

and that's because it is. it is cringy and bad. he's all that is an exact retelling of she's all that. it wasn't needed. and nobody asked for it. and Kourtney Kardashian's also in it. it would've been better if Kourtney Kardashian was herself. the story follows Padgett swayer who is an influencer much like Addison Rae, and she specializes in makeovers, and she makes a bet to turn an unpopular classmate into prom king. and she falls in love with him. (no this is not a spoiler because it's revealed in the trailer) 

and YouTubers keep roasting this movie and well, to be honest, it's fun to watch. 

although it's cringy it's not all bad. there are some parts that are nice and sweet. 

and that's it for this one, I'll catch you guys in the next one, ciao!

a review on mare of easttown! - by Neha

so I've been watching mare of eastown for almost 2  months now, and I honestly really like it,, I heard that Kate Winslet was in it and since I'm totally obsessed with titanic, I was pretty sure id love it and I do

 

starring Kate Winslet, Evan peters, guy Pearce,  Angourie Rice

and I keep thinking how different she looks in titanic and how different she looks now in mare of east town but just as stunning as before, but titanic and mare of east town is on Hotstar, well I've seen titanic like actually a 100 times, I've kept count and this I've seen twice, all the episodes TWICE cause everyone new episode comes every week, well it used to,  but the first season is over and the 2nd one is not going  be coming because it was supposed to be a limited series  and I and my family used to watch it every week on Monday, and it's actually a really nice show 

here's a little bit of a preview: 

We can welcome Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) into this jolly roster of crime busters. Mare is a detective sergeant in Easttown, a speck of a town in Pennsylvania. Like all good investigators in fiction, Mare is dealing with multiple personal problems while solving a homicide and following up on a teenager’s disappearance a year ago.

this show comes under the genre of crime and it is released in 2021 and it has 7 episodes in the first season 

As her life crumbles around her, a small-town Pennsylvania detective Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) investigates a local murder. The series explores the dark side of a close community and provides an authentic examination of how family and past tragedies can define our present.         

Beautifully shot by Ben Richardson in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Brad Ingelsby’s Mare of Easttown is a fascinating, binge-worthy show. While director Craig Zobel has said he is open to exploring more of Mare’s story, there is a satisfying symmetry to the mini-series.

and it has a rating of 8.6/10 on IMDB 

93% on rotten tomatoes 

A popular show like Mare of Easttown would typically be renewed before the series finale. In this case, however, the show was always intended to be a limited series, per the director Craig Zobel (via Insider). Networks usually assess streaming numbers for multiple weeks after a season finale before making renewal/cancellation decisions, but that likely won't happen with Ingelby's series. According to Zobel, he's willing to direct Mare of Easttown season 2 under the right circumstances 

If Mare of Easttown season 2 does happen, it likely won't release for two to three years. Ingleby and company will theoretically take some time to consider a series continuation, and then reach out to the cast members to see if they're interested in reprising their roles. As of now, it's plausible that Mare of Easttown season 2 could premiere in April 2023, or certainly before if all parties involved want to capitalize upon the cultural momentum. But like Mare, the series will probably move at its own pace.

anyway, that's it for this week's blog and I'll you guys in the next one ciao!
