Of course I’m interested in the personal lives of the royal family that facilitated the colonisation of my country 200 years ago. Quite naturally, the worldwide hit show that spills the beans and serves us hot tea brewed with the well-hidden secrets of the British royal family is my favourite. Let’s admit – it’s one...

Mirzapur | Loud, raunchy, real.
Indian entertainment industry has upped its web series game in the past few years and Mirzapur came in as the icing on the cake. Given the plot and the cast, it wasn’t a wonder that it was an instant hit among both action loving and story loving audiences because it balances pretty much all aspects... Continue Reading →
The anatomy of a scandal
The title evokes a lot of curiosity. I assumed that 'The anatomy of a scandal' on Netflix would be an insane thriller with a whole lot of minute details that leave space for intelligent guesswork and shocking twists throughout. But this six episode limited series does not reach those expectations. That being said, it's not... Continue Reading →
The ending of Manifest | Netflix
If you’d like to read my former article about Manifest series written before the final season was released, its here. I’d waited patiently for the finale, because Manifest is one of the series I got really, really invested in. I’ve explained the why of it in the above mentioned article. All the questions that had...

Anne with an E | The awe filled wonder girl to inspire
There’s an unmatched feeling of cosiness that small towns bring, that makes me want more and more seasons of the series that centres on it. A small community where everyone knows everyone, they love, fight and feel at home is a warm feeling of belonging that seems to diffuse into me through my screen. ‘Anne... Continue Reading →
The Queen’s Gambit | So many levels of admiration
I think its a bold choice on the producers’ and makers’ end to create a show that does not involve action or dramatic controversies, is buildungsroman in nature and where important decisions are made mostly inside the head of the protagonist. ‘Queen’s Gambit’ played the risky game simply by choosing a plot that wouldn’t be...

THE most enticing plot – Manifest | Netflix
I get addicted to series with incredible story lines easily. Throw me a bone with an out-of-the-box plot that asks too many questions and poses a logical challenge to solve at the end, and I’m hooked until the very end, through every second of the series. I don’t even get bored of the sub-plots and... Continue Reading →
Wednesday on Netflix | The queen of goth queens is here.
Every time there is a series centred upon a classic 'heartless' protagonist, I've wondered how much is left to explore in that niche. Everything gets old eventually, isn't it. One day the world had to get tired of heartless characters that actually need therapy but are living super interesting lives and having people fall head... Continue Reading →
The comfort of period pieces | The Cook of Castamar
I would list out ‘running out of period dramas to watch’ as a legit fear. I love them so much that almost every other form of content seems lacklustre in comparison. And I don’t even distinguish between period dramas – any kind of it will do. Romance, action, fiction, non-fiction, bio-pics, movie, web series, from... Continue Reading →
