Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal (2024)
Interesting but the couple ruined it!
This is interesting as this happened in the age where no one knew the impact of cyber attacks. This is similar to all dating websites these days. Documentry is well made and directed except the couple who look like they are just there to promote their youtube channel and flaunt fake love. I just ended up skipping all their interviews and scenes. The documentary focuses less on cyber attack but more on this couple. It's almost as if they invested their own money on this documentary. May be they did invest money and if they did then it is justified that they get so much footage out of it. Anyway, i did watch it at 1.5 speed.
The Diplomat (2023)
Banal and unimpressive
This was such an average tv show. I had to push myself to watch it after episode 3. Keri Russell is a great actor, i liked her in The Americans but here she does an OK job. Not sure why they have tried to add comedy to a serious show about politics, war, foreign relations etc and the comedy is not even funny most of the times. I feel if they had stuck to a more serious theme like house of cards, it would have been much better. With the way the ambassador carries herself throughout the show (flustered, impatient, eccentric, impulsive) I don't think any sane mind would have her as a Vice President. Nevertheless if you are a fan of Keri Russell, you can give it a try.
1883 (2021)
A slow westerner
This series is just too slow. I had to painfully watch it because of it's rave reviews. Acting is good but the pace is of a snail. Elsa dutton character is heavily focussed upon in the story and she doesn't even fit the part. She just looks like a wanna be cowboy with full on makeup, blond hair and southern accent. The group travels from fort worth to Oregon and this goes on till 10 episodes. What is the story except the problems with rivers, wild, bandits, snakes etc.. Character development also isn't great. I thought may be the last few episodes would reveal the plot a little but it just stays where it was with the main character taking the whole episode to die from an injury. Don't think I can watch Season 2. My journey with 1883 is over.
The Thing About Pam (2022)
Watch it for Renee!
For the first two episodes, this series was meh. I was surprised they decided to do a little comedy in a real life murder show. But boy does it get intense in the last 4 episodes. Renee Zellweger has managed to give a masterpiece performance. I actually listened to the podcast after watching the show, it was that good.
Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (2022)
Brilliant pilot
The first episode is great. Great acting, screenplay and direction. Some series based on sports get boring but this is being told in a fun dramatic way. Hope all the other episodes live up to the pilot.
Red Notice (2021)
Ryan Reynolds - The king of action comedy
Watch this if you like Ryan Reynolds. This movie is hilarious. I laughed atleast 10 times during the movie. Dwayne Johnson is an all time favorite. But Reynolds just steals the show. It reminds me so much of deadpool. Don't go into this expecting an action flick like mi fallout. This is an action and a big emphasis on comedy.
Wander (2020)
Dont read reviews - just watch
This movie is good. Worth watching for Aaron Eckhart. Decent acting, script and screenplay. Suspense is maintained until the end.
One Night in Miami... (2020)
Super boring
I wanted to like this movie but its so boring. I did like the beginning but then the movie goes into its own pace of being slow.
Soul (2020)
Masterpiece!
Another masterpiece from Disney Pixar. Pete Docter is at his best yet again. This movie makes you laugh, cry and feel motivated all in under 100 mins.
Amazing voice acting and animation. Best supporting actor goes to Terry from me. Lol
Go watch this movie. Best thing to end an awful 2020.
Undercover (2019)
Season 2 is average
Season 1 was good. Tight story and good acting. Season 2 started well but its full of loopholes. The undercover agent always finds out a way after getting caught. This happens atleast 4-5 times.
The characters themselves arent really memorable either. Acting is fine. The plot is where the issue is.
Lovecraft Country (2020)
Very average. The series just loses its plot
This started off well and was good until 3-4 episodes. After that it was just pain to watch. Some side actors have overacted. The plot also is just complete bs moving from one thing to next with no explanation.
I just fast forwarded it to see the end.
Save your time and watch something else.
Downhill (2020)
Fun family flick
I had very low expectations from this movie. But this is actually funny and the acting is good from everyone. Julia Luis Is amazing as always. Reminds me of Seinfeld and my younger days.
I couldnt help but laugh out loud at some of the scenes. Thanks Hbo for making this and giving me a good deal on the subscription.
Unpregnant (2020)
Waste of time
This movie is total crap. I cant even say that its a modern version of Juno. Juno is still way better than this one. After the first 30 mins, i just started fast forwarding to see if anything is going to happen in the movie. Its completely predictable from start to finish.
Save your time and watch something else.
Dil Bechara (2020)
Average movie.. Sushant is good
This movie is at best average. SSRs awnsong at best. New girl has looked good. Not rating it 10 as it didnt deserve to be 10. If SSR was alive, even he wouldnt have rated this as best work.
Space Force (2020)
Could have been funnier
I didnt expect the office but I expected a light comedy. This series fails to deliver in the sense that the plot is not funny at all. At times, it feels made up. The whole US airforce setup feels like it has been staged. Steve Carrell is trying too hard to be funny and he is just not. I laughed at probably 3 comical situations by 3rd episode.
I really wanted to like this.
Special OPS (2020)
Downhill after the first episode
This is created by Neeraj Pandey known for Special 26, A wednesday and other good films. This series' first episode is brilliant. I almost felt like i was watching black friday movie' tv soin off.
But the next few episodes are pain. The story becomes invariably complex with a plethora of characters. It almost becomes a b grade movie with the director trying to add comedy, action, drama in one series.
It's good for folks who just watch Hindi Cinema as it's still better than the average crap.
Motichoor Chaknachoor (2019)
Average movie with below par acting and direction
Athiya Shetty should learn how to act first. She has over actef in pretty much every scene. She has tried to look cute but ended up annoying for the most part. Nawaz is a good actor but he is getting typed in these roles.
Just watch this movie if you have absolutely nothing to watch or do.
Ghost Stories (2020)
Great Star Cast - Fresh & Innovative approach
This is almost a new genre and a proof that old fashioned horror isnt scary anymore (except for kids may be).. well written story which has some thrills, chills and scary moments.
From the best directors in Indian movie industry (bollywood) comes ghost stories.. 4 short stories which are scary even though they have no real apparitions..
This is a testimony to the fact that bollywood which is known for song and dance sequences can create quality stuff. Worth watching.
Sacred Games (2018)
2nd season sucks!
I watched this as 1st season wasnt so bad. But the 2nd season tops the worst series this year. I think the director overdid it. Nawaz is a good actor but some of the scenes arent just his. Please do not make 3rd season
The Red Sea Diving Resort (2019)
Great story.. average execution
This movie is a good example of taking a good script and wrong cast. Chris Evans doesnt suit this role. The movie has so many loopholes. Looks like the director wanted to make a spy thriller out of a true story. Background score is average. The real story would have been the story of these Refugees survival and their stories of escape.
Leila (2019)
Masterpiece!
I was apprehensive due to the negative reviews and because the dress looks like handmaid's tale. But this one has good acting, great script and nice cinematography.
Huma Qureshi is an underrated actress and so is Rahul Khanna.
The story has some scary similarities to the political situation in India.
Thanks Netflix for making some quality content.
Us (2019)
Please save your time & do something else
Its a piece of crap. Worst acting, story and direction. There are so many things wrong with this movie.
Tin Star (2017)
First season is very good but 2nd season is a pain
First season kicks ass. Tim Roth is such a fun actor. The series is scenic. Amazing photography. Canada is at its best. The second season just lost the plot. Its painfully slow and the story doesnt move forward at all until 5 episodes.
After Life (2019)
Very very good
This is so good. It makes you cry and laugh at the same time. His acting is so great - I googled after watching the series if Ricky has lost his wife in real life.
The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)
Waste of time
This movie is total crap. Please dont waste anytime watching it. There is absolutely no story.
