We've Heard of "Merrily We Roll Along." Well Folks: Netflix is airing "Merli" NOT "MerliN" I'm spreading the word as a North Forker of Long Island.

BY DANNY McCARTHY

As the lyrics go from the musical -{&}- film "EVITA"... "... Don't cry for me Argentina..." I belted-out that song at Southold Taps -{&}- Corks Bar located in Feather Hill by Dunkin Donuts in Southold, New York. I "altered" the lyrics to say: "Don't cry for me Taps -{&}- Corks Bar. The truth is I never left you. All through my wild days, my mad existence, I kept my promise. Don't keep your distance."

The BELINDA CARLISLE song I've "adjusted" to-be-local: "Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth -{?}- STEVE WICK wrote Pulitzer Prize-winning "Heaven and Earth" ~ as a form of her song: "Heaven on Earth" -{ !!! }-

I'm also known to go to the Southold IGA -{&]- share upon seeing another customer: "It's not where you cart. It's where you finish."

My mom always told me: "If no one makes you shine... DO IT THE HECK YOURSELF" - { !!! } -

That is a running-standard-theme in "Merli."

Here's some things:

"Merli" has the MA (mature audience)-rating. It is ABout philosophy -{&}- gives a realistic view of teens having their lives almost planned unless they choose to not listen -{&}- still have sex. {Which is natural.}

I've been tuning-in finding the performances uncanny as the actors -{&}- actresses do seem to make use of their specifics. The actual school settings are incredible as are ALL of the "scenes" highlighted in "Merli." REMEMBER - YES... CAPS for emphasis... which is my own accepted-creative-{&}-unique-style as you are aware. Thanksalatea.

I'd like to offer a simple thank you too to the entire cast -{&}- crew. I know to stay-tuned for plenty of surprises -{&}- ways for you too to GROW-UP -{&}- let folks be who they are UNLESS THEY TRULY DO NEED HELP. ~ Perhaps certain folks have particular habits that might drive a viewer even a family member or friend{s} "kinda crazy" {NO -{!}- That's my combo-of-words; not from the "Merli" script ACTually.} ~ We ALL have something ABout ourselves that might bother another human being. Be patient -{&}- do not become one -{ !!! }- UNLESS IT IS OBVIOUS HELP IS NEEDED.

I'd like to just mention -{&}- I'm being "series" "so-to-speak" that "Merli" is a Spanish/English-captioned "program" currently on Netflix. It is easy to follow truly since one is left-hanging for adventure w/ the teens, parents, school faculty -{&}- administration. The phenomenal settings are fABulous -{&}- YES too ~ FANTASTIC... As-is the acting.

Take for example the fella who is Poli. The actor who is Poli shines so much ~ even when circumstances become extremely opposite for him with his situations. The actor who is Poli is named Carlos Cuevas who becomes more-{&}-more-outstanding in "Merli.":

Below is a link stemming from my pinterest.com account. I will be adding more as I proceed catching "Merli":

"Merli" is the father of Poli. ~ Poli is bisexual ~ NOT GAY as one is led to believe via the-Netflix-"powers-that-be." -(WHAT?)- (BISEXUAL ?) -(Oh REALLY)- -(?)- -YES- -{!}- {Let folks "experiment" as one can as long as it is NOT one's longing where difficulty occurs. ~ Perhaps if I may say, one grows-up experiencing different kinds of variety {possibly}.

When I was an editor for The Traveler-Watchman newspaper, you may remember reader that I had a movie-review-column among my total of four columns per week. That column I titled myself -{&}- if you do recall... was "McCarthy at the Movies." I had a five-hat rating. I say HATS-OFF to "Merli." I'll wear my bow-tie every day like Poli now too to join my tribute to HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING various fellas who graciously entered their careers in my professionals' collection... THAT YES... Here I go again... that I began in 1974 -{&}- AM STILL MAINTAINING... who were to-become executive J Pierrepont Finch (ROBERT MORSE, MATTTHEW BRODERICK, DANIEL RADCLIFFE, JOHN STAMOS).
