The Bold Type (2017) (Seasons 1-3)

4 Seasons

The series centers on a trio of millennial women—Jane Sloan (Katie Stevens), Kat Edison (Aisha Dee), and Sutton Brady (Meghann Fahy). They live in New York City. The three best friends work for Scarlet, a fictional global women’s magazine, spearheaded by its editor-in-chief, Jacqueline Carlyle (Melora Hardin). The young women navigate their lives in the big city, including their career trajectories and romantic relationships.

Jane begins the series as a new writer for the magazine after working as an assistant, struggling to find her writing voice. Sutton is in a secret romantic relationship with Richard Hunter (Sam Page), a Scarlet board member and attorney for the magazine’s publishing firm; she also realizes that she is ready for a change in her career and attains a fashion assistant position for the magazine under department head Oliver Grayson (Stephen Conrad Moore). Secure in her position as Scarlet‘s social media director, Kat meets photographer Adena El-Amin (Nikohl Boosheri) and starts to explore her sexuality, including the tribulations that said exploration brings.

Season two of The Bold Type follows Jane as she continues to find her journalistic voice in a new media-driven landscape, Kat and her struggle with her racial and sexual identity in addition to her relationship with Adena, and Sutton in the aftermath of her decision to end her relationship with Richard due to the realization that it could hinder her from advancing in her career.

The third season sees Jane entering a new relationship with a fellow writer named Ryan (Dan Jeannotte) and collaborating with Jacqueline on a story regarding the abuse of models at the hands of a prominent photographer. Kat, in a career shift, becomes inspired to run for city council, supported by her campaign manager Tia (Alexis Floyd), with whom she also becomes romantically involved. Surprised by Adena’s return during her campaign, Kat ponders whether her past relationship with Adena is unfinished. Sutton, while content in her role as a fashion assistant, considers pursuing a career as a fashion designer while navigating her rekindled—and newly public—relationship with Richard.

Friends (1994-2004)

Created by David Crane & Marta Kauffman

I’m only going to do one post for this Sitcom, because it doesn’t make sense to do more.

So we start with our friends Monica (Courtney Cox), Joey (Matt LeBlanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Ross (David Schwimmer) and Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) sitting in their favorite Coffee-House Central Perk in New York and in comes Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) seeking refuge at Monica’s. Re-connecting with her they start living together and the group becomes friends. As life goes on the group will face many relationships, but in the end, they always stick together.

I love this show. It’s one of the best shows there is and it’s legendary. Every person on this planet should watch it. This show is so funny and sarcastic. Each character has it’s own personal thing that would make them special and without them, the show wouldn’t be half as good. Personally I love Janice and Chandler. Janice’s laugh and OMG just bring this flair to the show. Chandler’s sarcasm is soooooo neat and just great that without it Friends wouldn’t be Friends.

If u guys would like me doing a post pro blog just leave a comment.

Reign (2013-2017)(Seasons 3-4)

Created by Laurie McCarthy & Stephanie SenGupta

Seasons: 4

So let’s pick up where we left off. Mary (Adelaide Kane) doesn’t trust Louis (Sean Teale) and Francis (Toby Regbo) and Mary have found back to each other. During a “cute” compilation of Francis and Mary, we figure out that this cuteness might not last. Mary has no clue that her husband might die. Finding herself a widow, Mary struggles to find a foot in France as she is not their queen anymore. A new underaged King is crowned with Catherin de Medici (Megan Follows) as his regent. Also introduced in this season is the new queen of England Queen Elizabeth of England (Rachel Skarsten). This Queen plots against Mary, fends of marital prospects and, and deals with her love interest Robert Dudley (Charlie Carrick). So that pretty much sums up the third season. Back in Scotland Mary finally claims her throne and tries to regain power in her country, but the infamous John Knox (Jonathan Goad) tries to take that power for himself. The tension between Mary and Elizabeth skyrockets when Mary decides to marry Lord Darnley (Will Kemp) a catholic English man with a claim to Elizabeth’s throne, in the hope of taking England for herself. Back in France Catherine has to protect her son Charles (Spencer MacPherson), the King of France, from her ambitious daughter Queen Leeza of Spain (Anastasia Philips) and her son Henri of Valois (Nick Slater). The show ends with Mary dying and finding her way back to Francis.

Again great show loved it, but I did prefer the first to seasons because of the storyline. I feel like the four seasons are cut into half with the first and second season being one story and the two last ones are another story with a transition that makes no sense. This is still my favorite show.

Reign (2013-2017) (Seasons 1-2)

Created by Laurie McCarthy & Stephanie SenGupta

Seasons: 4

Mary, Queen of Scots (Adelaide Kane) was engaged to Prince Francis (Toby Regbo) since they were six years old. After some time in a convent, she is brought back to the French court. They encounter several problems on their way to marriage including Francis’s bastard brother Sebastian (Bash) (Torrence Coombs), but eventually, they manage to put their differences aside and get married, but even then their problems aren’t solved because Francis’s mother Catherine de Medici (Megan Follows) is constantly plotting and backstabbing. At the end of the first season, the plague is back in France and Francis and Mary face probably the biggest problem they will have in their relationship. Coming back with a bastard child Mary finds herself in conflict with herself. After the plague, there is a hunger that spreads in France. Trying to find a solution to the problem Francis and Mary get themselves in problems and have to bend to a lord and they will have to continue bowing to him for a good part of the show. On his way back with his bastard son, he encounters his cousin Louis Condé Prince of Navarre (Sean Teale) who helps him through the country. Louis meets Mary and the sparks fly. After a tragic incident, Mary seeks comfort from Francis but he sees how Mary and Louis interact and gets jealous so he pulls away from mary at the time she needs him most so you feel like they are going to need a whole other season to find back to each other, but the process is accelerated when Louis commits a terrible mistake and Marys does not trust Louis anymore.

I have never seen Adelaide Kane in any other movie nor series, but she instantly became one of my favorite actresses. She is so beautiful and portrayed Mary so well. Her voice is southing and swift in a way that you just want to listen to her forever.

I only wrote about two seasons, but i’ll do the other two in the near future. I loved loved loved this show and I watched it like 3 times but it never gets old. The plots and twists are really great. This is a great show that you can find on Netflix.
