Tv Show Review: Hemlock Grove

Synopsis:  "A teenage girl is brutally murdered, sparking a hunt for her killer. But in a town where everyone hides a secret, will they find the monster among them?"

Experience: I heard about this show through Netflix. They were advertising it on their main menu and basically to me, it sounded too interesting to pass it off. All 13 episodes are available right away, so there's no need to wait in a weekly basis like any other tv shows out there. I would've never thought it would be as gore or show very gore like scenes and well, especially with the sexual scenes as well. I do NOT recommend this show to children under 15 or so, it is rated MA for reasons. I literally cringed in the gore scenes and not many movies and tv shows can do that to me nowadays oddly. So if you enjoy the mystery, horror, sci-fi genres all in one then this one is for you! It reminded me of American Horror Story mixed with The X-Files (yes, I went there), so if that's a better description for you as to what type it is and enjoyed one or the other or both, then do go ahead and check this one out. Once again I do suggest for no children to watch this, for it is MA rated for blood/guts scenes, sexual scenes, and some language. There is no other way to view this show, but only through Netflix so if you do not have access to it in any way.. then you will be missing out on it. There is a novel out there that this show is based on, so if you're a bookworm and rather read it than watch it, then I suggest checking the book out in Amazon. This is its first season, so hopefully it will be returning for more viewing and some characters are recognizable off the bat from other tv shows or movies. As in with Olivia Godfrey from X-Men, Clementine from the remake of Carrie, Lily Taylor of various movies and shows, and Dr Pryce from SVU. Remember now? I bet you do.

Rating:  5/5 stars

Things are brightening up!

Weather
Well, finally mother nature has brighten up her mood. As I posted on one of my statuses, "Goddamn, Mother Nature really needed or wanted a shower in April and wanted us as rubber duckies. At least we'll be smelling like flowers in May. Get it? No? Bazinga!!" Pure gold this coming weekend for us. 60s to even hitting 70s and well possibly 80s by next week. Hopefully this keeps up and stays!

Peoria, Illinois
So, this past weekend we had quite an adventure. Not only the road trip, but the view and heck an amazing show with tons of beautiful readings and messages! Yes, I did see Theresa Caputo from The Long Island Medium show on TLC. Sadly, I didn't get to meet her up close, but I did meet her husband Larry.

My sis, Larry Caputo, and me.

We got no readings, but I'm sure some were literally for us. Too many signs or short messages seemed like they were for us, but.. we let it slide due to other messages after the "main" ones. Before the show, we checked out the area and it was beautiful and it was a must to take photos.. especially me. Check them out on my Digital Blu Facebook Page and yes, they are marked and very noticeable. Alas, it might've been a long drive, but it was a fun adventure!

Tv shows

Brain Games
 It's a Tv show on Nat Geo channel on Monday nights (check your local listings for times) that challenges your brain to work harder or just simply improve your attention to details and remember everything around you.  I've seen both episodes so far, On Demand, and I enjoy it a lot! It really does work your brain more and basically, its like Luminosity site game, but on the tv. I suggest you see it for yourself, but don't get fooled with their games or is it your brain playing games on you! For more info on this show, check the site out.

The Numbers Game
This one a quite new, with I believe one episode aired so far. Also on Nat Geo channel following Brain Games on Monday nights. Description: "Money. Sex. Marriage. Mortality. In each episode, data scientist Jake Porway tackles one of life’s most daunting topics revealing the surprising science behind them. From mind-bending stats, hilarious man on the street experiments, and interactive game play, this show delivers the answers to life’s mysteries and gives you the tools to help take charge of your destiny and change your life forever." This one seems very interesting and once I heard what it was about, it was mind blowing to the point of.. well seeing what they're talking about and possibly testing some of them out. I have yet to see the first episode, premiered April 22nd, so hopefully I can catch the following episodes to come. For more info and clips of this show, check it out here.

Hemlock Grove

Exclusively in and for Nextflix, an original series that can only be seen possibly through your Netflix subscription! A very interesting show that only has 13 episodes so far as its first season and all are available now. I'm starting to watch this and yes, I will be making a review for it soon.. once I finish watching it completely. I'm only on episode 3, just a heads up, so keep checking back here for the review. I am not sure if this is available on dvd or any other format, if you do not have Netflix, so bare with me to investigate that as well. The description: "A teenage girl is brutally murdered, sparking a hunt for her killer. But in a town where everyone hides a secret, will they find the monster among them". Once again, check back for the review and other info I gather for you! Can't wait?
