The Summer That Freed Me from Teen Dramas
There’s just something about the low-stakes teen dramas that nourishes our soul. Is it a connection to our childhood, a reminder of how the shows we watched influenced our journey in this world? It’s comforting to me, even at this age; I don’t think I will ever outgrow…
Queen Charlotte: A Triumph of Mental Health Conversation
I was convinced there is no story or a season out of Bridgerton universe that’ll seduce me more than Season 2 and the Viscount/Sharma bonanza, yet it did. ‘Queen Charlotte’ floored me. If you’ve already watched it…
I Come for the Social Commentary, I Stay for the Murders
I didn’t expect to be mesmerized by You on Netflix as much as I am. When a movie or a tv-show is made based on a book, I usually want to read the book first.
Misogyny & Flawed Femininity
It took me a while to start watching The White Lotus. Well, two months. Not exactly a punishable offense; one simply doesn’t have time to watch everything, and the amount of content out there in the wilderness is brutal. Way too much noise.
Two Sides of Love From ‘Tell Me Lies’ and ‘From Scratch’
This week, I watched two TV shows about love, so the description says - back to back, one after the other. Both are based on bestselling books. Tell Me Lies on Hulu, and From Scratch on Netflix. I watched Tell Me Lies, first.
Bridgerton: This Glorious TV Inclusivity, Is It Just an Itch?
Is it safe to speak about Bridgerton Season 2? I have to admit, I needed a minute to get into this show when Season 1 came out. A colorblind Regency Era with modern tunes…
Pattinson's Batman: Uncomplicated, Just Like Him
I was a bit worried going into The Batman. Not because I didn’t trust Rob to be a capable Bruce Wayne, but because I thought he might be a better Bruce Wayne than Batman. I wrong. He was a great Bruce. But he was a spectacular…
The Summer of Scam
The series “Inventing Anna” didn’t fascinate me as much as the real story. Moreover, the show was annoying at times. More than I care to elaborate. In order to make the characters interesting, many are just simply overdone. Jessica/Vivian, the reporter…
The Pain That Keeps on Giving
Here’s an unpopular opinion: You bonded with the original Sex & The City. It’s your favorite show. You feel like a New Yorker, you felt like the city is “so you” when you watched it. You visited New York for a few days, possibly weeks…
The problematic message of Sex/Life
“This is a show about female desire - That’s the sentence I wrote at the top of everything - the first story document, the first outline, the first script for Sex/Life. It was an…
I Meant a Good Reason
Did the lack of our social life for the past year make us look more intensely at the TV shows and movies for the references and inspiration we lacked in our lives? Yes, the sole purpose of entertainment is to raise questions we can implement in our own lives, but we didn’t discuss fiction with the same vigor as our real lives.
The Oppression Olympics of Ginny & Georgia
“Love is parasitic, it’s painful, and it’s inconvenient” - this, mind you, came out of the mouth of a 16-year-old. Ginny & Georgia, Netflix. There is so much to unpack here. Ginny & Georgia is a post-me-too, post-racial awakening, post-new-wave feminism, post-inclusion, post-diversity, post-equality…
Normal People
You know those moments when people tell you to watch something and the sound of their voice drowns in usual, monotone programming recommendation noise? It stays in the back of your head, for that particular lie you keep telling yourself: "I'll watch it…
The Unsettling and Gorgeous World of Euphoria
I’ve been wanting to watch Euphoria for the longest time, and finally sat down to see what all the hype was about. I must admit, I wasn’t expected what I saw. Every part of my being was attacked, every sense stimulated.
Boom, Boom, Ciao
I wrote my last post in June. It was called - Social Media Fatigue & How to Cure it. And the way to cure it was, that. This. Taking the time. Now, this isn’t social media, sort to speak, but I need to turn on a power button and share something. And in order to share properly, and share in the right…
Fleabag: This is a Love Story. Kneel.
Fleabag. I owe you Fleabag. If you read my last post about Killing Eve, I promised to write about Fleabag next. Prepare. This is going to be one of those situations. You'll postpone watching it, despite me telling you it's the best thing on television right now.
Marvelous, Indeed.
One of the recent shows I saw that impressed me and inspired me to the point of no return is - The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. The title was so idiotic, when I first saw it on Amazon Prime, I quickly brushed it off.
