Notes
Not understanding swift fully made it hard to be able to implement the search bar and network error message, as I was confused where exactly to add the code, and how to change certain areas of the code.

Notes
It was still quite hard to implement the search bar. I also had a problem when I went to a different tab, as the data would not automically load. I had to refresh in order for the first tab data (Now Playing) to go away and have the second tab data (Top Rated) to show up.
