Supergirl (2015–2021)
10/10
Give it a chance, it'll surprise you!
15 March 2017
So of course the first episodes are the cheesiest you could imagine and thus the overall low rating of the show but it gets so much better.

Supergirl develops as a hero, the plot thickens and the writing improves, I really enjoy watching this show - not like "can't miss it!" but definitely "I'm bored, let's watch Supergirl".

The characters are likable and you'll root for them, Cat Grant is a force to be reckoned with and might teach you a lesson or two about life! It's a solid 8 in my book but the 10 is to compensate for the bad reviews and level out the playing field.

The Night Manager (2016–2025)
10/10
Work of Brilliance
31 March 2016
I would like to start with the fact that a lot of reviews for this show are by people who are comparing it to the book. We all know those comparisons result in TV Series Bashing. Ignore them.

This is a flash of brilliance with veteran actors giving their best performances. You will enjoy every moment of it and if you're anything like me, it will keep you at the edge of your seat.

The story progresses quickly, it's entertaining and the book's plot has been well executed. Sure there are some goofs and loopholes (Specially in the finale) but despite that I would want to give this mini-series a 10 because I ended up thoroughly enjoying it. There is action, drama, blasts, a love story, betrayal, alliances, guns, henchmen and more - everything that constitutes a super secret spy movie in the 21st century!

Watch it for the menacing Laurie, for the charming Hiddleton, watch it for the performance of a lifetime by Tom Hollander and Olivia Conman.. but do yourself a favor, and watch this!

Sense8 (2015–2018)
10/10
Now that I have seen this era of Sci-fiction, I can die in peace
7 June 2015
It's 1am and I'm up, I've binge watched the entire first season and am amazed at the quality of Sense8.

Sense8 is a new concept, with it's own world and characters. Diversity is key, there are people from all walks and all orientations and yet it feels so together. The story is well thought out and the character development is interesting, the series does not shy away from taking a break from the main plot line just to let the characters unravel. There's drama, action, romance and thriller. It's an all in one package. You find yourself rooting for the characters. It's hard to sometimes understand the rules of this universe but you can relate to their individual story lines and that makes it even better.

I gave it a 9 because initially it was very slow but it picked up pace and exceeded my expectations. This is what science fiction needs to be like. I need season 2 and I need it now, don't cancel this show Netflix or I'll be really disappointed in you.

Stalker (2014–2015)
8/10
Interesting Concept
24 October 2014
I'm going to start with discrediting the person who wrote a review on this title after watching one single episode. Stop lashing out, this is a good show with potential. It shows a serious issue. Stalking is increasingly becoming a problem specially in todays world with the advent of social media.

This show portrays the psychological state of stalkers and why they do what they do. It has action, a little bit of comedy and a lot of darkness. But it constantly keeps me guessing what comes next.

I like the characters. Maggie Q has always been my absolute favorite and she is stunning in this show. So is Dylan. Their back stories are intriguing. The supporting cast seems pretty rad too!

I think this show should deal more with stalkers and not confuse them with serial killers/murderers. In all if you've got time, its a good show to watch. If it is VCR record worthy will be known after we get midway into the season but for now I am placing my bets on Stalker.

Good acting, good premise, interesting characters and mysterious plots.

Faking It (2014–2016)
9/10
So awesome!
5 October 2014
Everything you need to know to decide whether to watch this awesome show!

Watch if you: 1. Like funny shows! 2. Are in high school 3. Confused about your sexuality 4. Love your best friend

Do not watch if: 1. You are not tolerant of the LGBT community

Yes, I cannot think of any other reason not to watch this amazing show! I love the main characters. They all have great development and the story line is good. You'll find yourself rooting for almost all of them while laughing out loud at the same time. I watched the entire first season in a matter of few hours and find myself eagerly waiting for the second season. This show sneaked up on me and took me by surprise.

The Mindy Project (2012–2017)
9/10
A fresh breeze that outclasses all the mocumentaries and sitcoms out there!
13 June 2013
Lets start off with the cast. Everyone likes eye candy in a show and well this show won't have the likes that you see in CSI or Grey's anatomy. But its cast is strong, the characters are quirky and you grow attached to them.

The story is mostly one episode, one gig type but there is an internal connection between all the episodes, the best part is that no matter what mood you're in, happy, sad, angry...the Mindy project can always make you chuckle if not outright laugh.

There's a consistency about this show, it doesn't let you down. If you're a man this probably isn't your cup of tea but if you're a woman or even a girl this show is FUN and agreeable, i mean lets face it, we all are out there looking for the perfect guy while juggling our ambition! Give it a try beyond the pilot and you'll know what i mean.

This is my first review by the way, just for you Mindy!
