The First of the Mystery Series

One of the genres of really gotten into is mystery, and crime drama, mostly fiction. There some good one’s already out, and some new ones coming soon. One of my personal favorites are the classic whodunnits, like from the 1920’s, to the 1940’s. Some examples of great ones are Murdoch Mysteries, and Frankie Drake Mysteries. 

There are different types of mysteries that one can get into. There are the storylines, where each episode is part of the mystery, or where there’s a bigger mystery in the background. Then, there are the different mysteries in each episode, or upfront. Both kinds of plots can be interesting. 

Soap operas, like General Hospital, have storylines, that span several episodes, and these can suck you in, especially if there’s a mystery involved.

There's this series on Netflix, it has a vintage, mystery feel, described by sources as an “Agatha Christie whodunit”. While watching the trailer, it sort of reminded me of the Orient Express, and Clue. I discovered that it's set in the 1940's, after WWII, when two sisters are leaving Spain, by sailing on an ocean liner, owned by the older sister's fiancé. As their heading to the ship, they appear to hit a woman, who is running from something, so they sneak her on board the ship. While traveling to their supposed new life, there’s a whole cast of interesting, and compelling characters. Quite a few of them turn into suspects when it seems a woman is tossed overboard.

Netflix has this show in both Spanish, and English dubbed, which is how I got to watch the first time. Now I'm totally hooked, and I so hope to see season 2. 

Summer 2019 Outline

There’s a lot to catch up on, starting with some new series. Here are some things that I’ve accomplished. Lately, I've been discovering more recent series, but also rediscovering older shows as well. Not to mention, getting hooked some classics soap operas.

I’ve been focusing mostly on mysteries, supernatural, and sci-fi series recently. A couple season finales in the summer, like all the NCIS: New Orleans, and Los Angeles, not to mention Magnum P.I., MacGyver, and Hawaii Five-O. All these shows left us hanging, we get where they left us, yet we want to know what’s going to happen after that. 

Descendants 3 is coming August 2, and I’m so excited. I have a feeling the true villain isn’t going to be anyone on the Isle of the Lost this time. I could be wrong, but it might just be someone who thinks they should be the hero. From what I’ve seen in videos on YouTube, and reading the books, there are some crazy clues to pick up on. But I’m also sad, now Cameron Boyce who played Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil, and a terrific actor, singer and dancer, has gone, and now, who knows what will happen next in this story.

On top of all that, I’ve found some awesome YouTube channels, and videos, that I’ve learned a lot about junk journals, some projects I’ve been hoping to get going on. I’ve also been updating my social accounts to share my interests, as well as my experiences.
