There’s something deeply unsettling about Defending Jacob, and the smartest thing the show does is that it never allows you the comfort of certainty. Eight episodes in, you’re still sitting there staring at the screen like an exhausted member of the Barber family thinking, “Okay… but did this child actually do it or not?” IContinue reading “Defending Jacob: Apple TV, Review”

Beef Season 2, Netflix Review: Too Many Flavours, Not Enough Dish
So yes, like most people, I’d heard the noise. Season 1 of Beef was supposed to be brilliant. Sharp. Uncomfortable. Award-winning chaos. So naturally, when Season 2 dropped on Netflix, I went in expecting something equally tight, maybe even better. What I got instead… was a very expensive, very glossy, very confusing buffet of drama.Continue reading “Beef Season 2, Netflix Review: Too Many Flavours, Not Enough Dish”
Matka King, Season 1 review : Amazon Prime
If ambition had a background score, Matka King would be playing it on loop—loud, slightly chaotic, and impossible to ignore. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video, Matka King dives into the murky, number-driven underbelly of Mumbai’s gambling scene, loosely inspired by the real-life figure Ratan Khatri. But don’t walk in expecting a clean biopic. This one’sContinue reading “Matka King, Season 1 review : Amazon Prime”
Dhurandhar : Netflix Review
I watched Dhurandhar very, very late — the kind of late where the trailers have aged like milk and every second person on your timeline has already declared it the “best thriller ever” or “commercial cinema at its peak.” By the time I finally hit play, I was certain the movie would underdeliver. After all,Continue reading “Dhurandhar : Netflix Review”
Vash Level 2 : Netflix Review
Vash Level 2 doesn’t scream for attention. It creeps into it. And that, honestly, is its biggest strength. Firmly positioned as a horror-thriller, the film operates in the uncomfortable space between fear and fascination. This is not horror that relies on cheap shocks or excessive gore. Instead, it leans into psychological dread, control, and moralContinue reading “Vash Level 2 : Netflix Review”
Haq, Netflix Movie Review
I was drawn to Haq for reasons that went beyond curiosity. When voices like Alia Bhatt praise a performance, you pause. When that performance belongs to Yami Gautam, you lean in. She appears far too sparingly on screen, but whenever she does, there’s an unmistakable sense that you’re watching a rare, deeply intuitive actor atContinue reading “Haq, Netflix Movie Review”
The Visit ; Netflix Movie Review
Discovering The Visit quietly streaming on Netflix feels a bit like opening a cupboard you haven’t touched in years and finding something unexpectedly sharp inside. Directed by the ever-polarising, frequently misnamed, but always fascinating M. Night Shyamalan, this 2015 thriller reminded me exactly why I became a fan back in his The Village era—when atmosphereContinue reading “The Visit ; Netflix Movie Review”
Review: Four More Shots Please! – Season 4 (Finale)
Streaming on Amazon Prime Having watched the previous three seasons, it was only natural to tune into Season 4 of Four More Shots Please!—the final chapter of this glossy, friendship-driven series. Once again, the show revolves around four women navigating love, careers, heartbreaks, and personal growth in urban Mumbai. The core quartet remains unchanged. YouContinue reading “Review: Four More Shots Please! – Season 4 (Finale)”
Emily in Paris: Season 5 Review
Season five of Emily in Paris feels very much like comfort food you didn’t need but ordered anyway because it was right there on the menu. If you’ve binged the earlier seasons (as many of us shamefully have), this one is almost inevitable—escapist, glossy, and mildly absurd in a way that feels familiar rather thanContinue reading “Emily in Paris: Season 5 Review”
Younger : Netflix Series Review
There are some shows you watch to feel intellectually superior. There are some shows you watch to feel emotionally wrecked. And then there’s Younger — a glossy, bubble-gum, escapist fantasy you watch because the world is exhausting and you just want to lie on the couch thinking, “What if my biggest problem was choosing betweenContinue reading “Younger : Netflix Series Review”
