There is something about this show that makes you keep going
25 February 2023
This is a very good directed tv show. The acting of Jenna Ortega is Oscar worthy. The set design and atmosphere are dark and goes with the theme of the show. Majority of the show is filmed in Romania.

The castles and the whole town give a gothic vibe. The story keeps you interested till the last episode. Its fast-paced show. The dialogues are intelligently written with both being funny and witty. Overall, it's a good Netflix show and definitely worth a watch. I would definitely love to see season 2 of this show.

This show has a potential to be next Netflix global hit franchise like Stranger Things, Squid Game and Money Heist.

Capitani (2019–2022)
9/10
Good crime thriller tv show from Luxembourg
5 October 2022
Thanks to Netflix, I was able to discover this show produced by one of the smallest and least populated country in the world. I have to watch it as I know very little about this place and its people.

About the show:

Location: In 1st season we got to see beautiful European country side view. Loved it. And in second season, we got to explore main city. Filming locations were perfect and I really appreciate they didn't added any fake color filters.

Story: I really enjoyed season 1 story more than season 2. Short 30 mins episodes means you can complete the entire show in a weekend. It's definitely entertaining and makes you wanna continue.

Characters: I like the character of Capitani, it was well acted and thoroughly professional. Even with the subtitles I was able to read into the emotions of the characters. I really hoped the directors would considered showing Capitani and Elsa together. I think they both really clicked and their chemistry between them was wonderfully filmed. Both the actors acted their roles perfectly.

Conclusion: Consider watching it if you are looking for something different than your regular crime shows on TV. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Unhinged (I) (2020)
8/10
Entertaining from Start to Finish
29 July 2022
Yes, realistically speaking there were situations where she could have taken help or done things differently. But in spite of her choices she made, this movie never fails to keep attention of the viewers till the very last minute. And believe me there are very few movies which are able to do so. Top class acting, good filming of road rage almost on par of "Fast and the Furious" series, good location with edge of the seat action. I haver nothing to complain. Take my Eight stars.

Could have been better
14 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Positives -Good looking girls -Decent plot -Good actors

Negatives -Too much gore and violence, sometimes too hard to watch -Poor choices, like when they caught these hillbillies and put them in jail, the girls decided to let them live instead of burning them alive. Who does that.

-Most of the sex scenes involved lesbians. Not interested -Someone needs to get out alive, not everyone should die. Make the story more interesting instead of killing everyone.

Conclusion Wrong Turn 1,2,3 are still the best in the series.

Start-Up (2020)
2/10
I am glad I stopped watching at 3rd episode. 8 stars on IMDB only because of Kim Seon-Ho role in it.
25 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This show started great. First episode was awesome. Till second episode everything was going great. But come third episode, it was the start of the mess which will drag on till the end of the season. (I have read each episode synopsis on reddit kdrama community).

So it was Ji Pyung who wrote all the letters to Dal Mi using the name of Do san, which gave motivation and all that to her through her trouble years. She started liking Do San. Everything looks good so far.

15 years have passed. Now she wants to meet in person the Do-San guy and introduce him to her sister.

Here is where all the stupidly began from the writers of this show.

So the granny knows who wrote all these letters to her. She helped Ji Pyung to write those at first and then it was Ji Pyung who used to give reply to Dal mi letters. Do San was just a made up imaginary name they have given to the character.

Now our girl Dal mi wants to meet this guy and show off to her sister. She talks to granny about Do san. Even now granny doesn't tell her the truth. Instead she went to Ji Pyung and tell him to find this Do San guy. Mind blown. No words.

Ji Pyung was all successful and rich at this moment and she could have told Ji Pyung to introduce himself to her daughter as real Do Sun. But she didn't. Why did she decided to carry on her lie.

Next in an event where Dal Mi was supposed to bring Do Sun, we came to the final stupid conclusion of this show at just third episode. Ji Pyung was somehow able to find and influence this Do-Sun guy by showing all the letters and their past history. He told him to act as Do Sun for one day. Turns out he decided to go after reading some of the letters. At the same time, Ji Pyung also decided to introduce the real Do Sun as himself to Dal mi. But he got late and it was fake Do Sun who ended up meeting Dal mi. At very first meet they bonded like they know each other for years. But the chemistry between them look bland and fake. The character of Dal-mi looked bland.

After this meet up I watched this show for a another 15 mins and decided to drop it. I cannot cope this much stupidity and lazy writing. I know where this show was headed. Ji Pyung character was demoted to second lead. I don't hate love triangles in Kdrama but in this one it felt foolish from very start. I am glad I stopped watching without investing anymore time in this show. Best decision ever made.

Got me hooked from very first episode.
19 March 2022
Just watch it. I have been struggling to find a new kdrama from many months after hometown cha cha cha got over. My search is over. Found my new favourite gem.

Reasons: What worked

1) Both actors and actresses looks perfect for their role. Age wise as well as attractive wise.

2) Fast paced and 90% of the screen time is devoted to main couples.

3) It's funny and entertaining. Yeah, I can't remember last time seeing a romantic show with funny lines and lots of funny scenes Finally, Kdrama is getting the humor right.

4) Very likable side couple and their story so far.

5) And the most important thing in the show :- Story and Romance. It clicks. It clicks from very first moment in the show. The chemistry between them makes you feel involve in the show from very first episode.🇰🇷 You don't have to wait for second and third episodes for it. And I have seen lots of Kdramas in the past and there are very few shows who manages to do that. It gets your attention and the next thing you know is that you are addicted. You just can't stop watching.

6) Message to the director, writer and producer. Thank you for bringing this show on netflix. The feeling one gets from watching a romantic kdrama is something out of this world. Its a special feeling you get when you are in love. You guys are doing God work by spreading happiness and love across the world. Keep doing it. I love it. The whole World loves it. Thank you. Thank you.

Tasteless Romance
13 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Yes, totally ruined it. Maybe I have too much expectations after coming from watching a good show like Hometown Cha Cha Cha.

Negatives

1) Age matters. The guy looks like a 20 year old kid and girl 40+. How the hell I am suppose to wrap my head around this fact. Poor chemistry hence forth.

2) Visuals. Looks fake and too artistic, too exposed, too much lighting, too much white tone. In short unreal. Real South Korea is beautiful why try to ruin it.

3) Getting laid. Too early in the show when the main leads have sexual encounters without any chemistry and that too when they are drunk, it takes the entire fun out of the romance.

4) Stop copying west. Lately more and more Korean shows have started copying western romance genre. Please don't do that. You owe your sucess to the uniqueness which your shows offered.

5) The actress. I know her from hit show "What's wrong with secretary Kim". But in this show she looked bland and expressionless in her feelings.

Positives

NONE

Conclusion

I will skip this show since I have already lots of amazing stuff waiting to be watched in my library.

Beckett (2021)
7/10
As realistic a thriller genre can get.
9 March 2022
The entire movie up until the end felt real. There was no dramatic action scenes which we see in movies these days. All the running and chasing felt 100% believable. The location and neighbourhood chosen to shoot made it felt more real. It was like the raw footage without any artificial lighting. The acting by Washington was really good. Overall a decent straight forward thriller.

Entertaining, Funny with good story.
8 March 2022
I enjoyed it and was entertained from start to finish and that is what movies are made for. Two of my favourite actors who have made lots of box office hit in the past. I am glad it was on Netflix as due to covid going to theaters are not possible. 10/10.

Night Teeth (2021)
9/10
I like the romance between Blaire and Benny
6 March 2022
It's a good vampire movie. This movie would have been more hit and popular with a better name like "Vampires in LA" or something more catchy. Story was interesting. It lets you keep entertained till the end. This is what I like about fast paced movie. The acting is good and i especially like the romance between Blaire and Benny the most in the movie. It kept me hooked. Overall definately worth a watch.

Free Guy (2021)
10/10
Intelligent science fiction movie! One of the best movies of 2021.
6 February 2022
Amazing movie. One of the best I have seen in a while. From start to end it is entertaining. I have seen plenty of movies in my life and it is very hard to satisfy me. This movie does it with its funny dialogue, good action scenes and most importantly good science fiction story. 10/10 and a must watch for any science fiction and gaming fan out there.

Seaspiracy (2021)
10/10
Still going to eat fish and meat but ....
26 January 2022
I mean there is one documentary which says not to eat meat and another which says to stop eating fish. So I am all left with vegetables to eat. But plants also are alive and can feel pain even though they are not conscious beings. But where does it all stop.

Listen to what Quran has to say "If animals have been subjected to cruelties in their breeding, transport, slaughter, or in their general welfare, meat from them is considered impure and unlawful to eat (haram). Even if these animals have been slaughtered in the strictest manner, if cruelties were inflicted on them otherwise, their flesh is still forbidden food (haram).

So it's all money in the end. People are going through crazy means to catch sea food because there is lots of money involved. And when it comes to livelihood a person will think about present than what will happen to ocean ecosystem long after he is gone. It's that simple. But I agree this documentary has a powerfull message and it makes you think twice before eating whenever you will see fish on your table.

Great eye opening documentary and more people should watch it. 10 stars from me.

One of the best travel adventure documentary
14 January 2022
I really liked the way levison wood narrated his entire journey through Caucasus. It's very interesting and much more entertaining than adventure movies which are being produce these days.

Even the travel buddy he picks up at each new stop are interesting. My favourite one would be the beard guy he picked up in Russia. He was very well spoken and had good humor. I forgot his name.

He also shared the map continuously while traveling so enthusiastic audience like me will have idea about the places he is visiting on map. So yeah, after seeing this season I am planning to watch other documentaries from levison wood in this travel series. 10/10 stars from me.

Lost in Space (2018– )
10/10
Good science fiction series from Netflix
11 January 2022
I liked season 2 and 3, first one was just not good enough. The visuals of the alien planets are very well done, the atmosphere, the landscape, the foliage was too quality. I wish they would have talked more about the planet than their nonsense childish drama.

There is so much which could have been done right with the overall story and science fiction writing but still I will give them full 10 stars for making an attempt to create something interesting and worth watching in this tough to crack space sci-fic genre. One more plus point is that the series is clean and you can watch it with your family and children together. I hope this series inspire our children to become astronaut and space explorers of the future.

Action packed alien movie
9 January 2022
This is the kind of movie you never get a dulled moment. It's totally action packed from start to finish. It has a good story with good acting. Special effects are top quality as expected from Hollywood. This is also my first time watching an Amazon studio movie. I hope they will produce more such high budget movies for their viewers.

Overall a great blockbuster movie.

Much much better than the original movie series
28 December 2021
So I have watched the entire movie series of the star wars franchise. This is by far my favorite one. I am not a fan boy of the series. But I am a huge science fiction fan, especially the space opera genre. This movie was action packed from start till end. I loved it.

I just have one complaint about whole star wars series in particular. Alien species and culture are poorly representated. If you have played Mass effect game series you will know.

Prey (VI) (2021)
8/10
I enjoyed it.
27 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Pros: 1) Visuals.

2) Stunning forest scenery 3) Good actors.

4) Simple story 5) Thanks to Netflix, we can see movies from Germany and other Euro countries which aren't big players in movie Industry like UK. Hope to see more content from European union countries in the future.

Cons: 1) After he killed so many of his friends without any remorse why did he showed mercy to her in the end. It doesn't matter if the women was mentally ill. Should have killed her without showing any remorse.

Overall worth a watch.

Good horror-thriller flick
26 December 2021
Pros: Good acting by the main actress, Good atmosphere, Kept you guessing till the end of the movie also a good story that has many interpretation.

Cons: Bad Lighting throughout the movie, I wished the lighting was more original. I didn't like the green tone in which the movie was editted. The house setting could have been improved.

Overall: A very watchable and entertaining horror-thriller movie from the house of Netflix. It kept my attention till the end and there are very few movies which are able to do so.

Another Life (2019–2021)
6/10
90% drama, 10% Space, Science and Alien.
5 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I am going to describe this show in just one paragraph about what I wanted it to be and what it was.

Any human who is landing on an Alien planet for the first time will talk about the feeling and science fiction aspect of it. How much land it has, it's biodiversity, it's mineral composition, it's overal ecosystem. Well, these people are more concerned about their relationship with each other.

Second example is when they were on Decuma spaceship. Again no exploration was done about the kind of species they were where they were from. Why were they changing humans into something else. Nothing. As if the production crew was in rush to complete the second season.

In the end, I felt it has potential, lots of it but doesn't have the brains to follow it.

10/10
Amazing documentary about green energy technologies of the Future
12 November 2021
As a fan of science documentary, I immediately loved it. This documentary is up to date with latest invention in engineering field. The narrator explains the concept of generating energy with new technologies in easy to understand language with good graphics. It is also very well narrated. The future projects shown are interesting and very well covered. This is a kind of documentary which should be shown to kids in schools and colleges. Very inspiring and makes you want to be a part of green revolution. 10/10 from me.

Dream the Future (2015– )
10/10
You learn something new and interesting with every episode covered in this series.
5 November 2021
I liked this documentary a lot. It was available on Curiosity Stream, which is how I discovered it. There's lots of topic they have covered here with interesting ideas for the future. Many of which will definitely come true and many won't. I learned a lot about present and future technologies which the scientists, entrepreneurs and engineers are using to create a world of tomorrow. It's definitely worth a watch. I am giving this documentary 10 star for the knowledge it provided to the audience.

Kate (I) (2021)
5/10
Same old revenge flick with poor choice of characters
11 October 2021
I didn't like the movie.

Reasons- 1) The plot was boring.

2) The main lead actress didn't look good enough for a leading role in a movie.

3) Unlikeable characters, no feeling of attachment towards them.

4) Mindless action 5) The entire movie was shot in dark, which gives a depressing tone to it.

6) I have seen such revenge movies thousands of times, so nothing new.

Positives:- 1) Japan, As always the cyberpunk dystopian appeal of Japanese cities at night is shown in all its glory.

Conclusion:- 5/10 Watch it if you have run out of movies to watch.

A tribute to the great Stephen Hawking
2 September 2021
I admit, I don't have brains to fully grasp the information related to Black holes but still my curiosity about knowing the unknown in our Universe makes we wanna watch it. I am a huge fan of Astronomy related documentaries and have watched most of the docs based on Universe. Everytime I watch these kind of documentaries I learn something new and interesting. I hope these documentaries fuel passion and create our next generation of scientist like Hawking which can unravel new mysteries of the Cosmos. Make it count.

Beautiful romantic show and a must watch for Kdramas fan
31 August 2021
Short story:- It got me hooked from the very first episode.

Long story:- I am someone who have watched plenty of Kdramas in the past and so my standard is pretty high for rating a show as positive. Any show which gets me attached and hooked from early on is straight away deserves 10 stars.

Lately at the time of writing there is so much negativity and depressing stuff going on in the world and in our life, i was looking for show which can bring smile on my face after hard day at work. I started few Kdramas on Netflix before this and was struggling to find a decent show.

About this show, first of all it is believable, the story I mean. It's so simple yet so beautifully crafted. It's relaxing and doesn't stray away from the story much. The rural setting makes you wanna retire to some place like this in your future. The setting of the town is picturesque and full of colours. Both the lead characters are cute looking and instantly lovable. At times, the show will teach you valuable life lessons also. The romance and chemistry between the two characters are pure and angelic. You know they are made for each other.

This is so far my analysis of the show after watching the first few episodes of it. Can't wait how the rest of the story will unfold. So interesting.
