Hotstar has, almost the entire HBO originals content. You will find many binge worthy series there. I am currently watching The Undoing staring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant on Hotstar. If you haven’t watched Chernobyl yet then that is one series that I recommended everyone should watch.

The story starts in US takes you around the world to Italy, Mexico, Senegal and many other countries.

A gripping story, fantastic cinematography and natural scenery makes it a must watch. I recommend this to any one who is interested in crime/suspense genre.

I see that it is still available for me. Please note that zerozerozero is a single word if you are searching for it. Its listed under Amazon originals for me.

I would recommend "Homeland" on Hotstar. All the 8 seasons are pretty gripping. If you are looking for something shorter then "Jack Ryan" on Prime Video is also good. There are only 2 seasons.

Outside these two OTT platforms, "FAUDA" on Netflix is awesome show. Though it is available in English, there is fair bit usage of Hebrew and Arabic languages. It will take you couple of episodes to get used to and then it is really engrossing.

Watched "The Looming tower" on Prime. The miniseries is based upon the book with same name and the story is about the rivalry between CIA and FBI and ended up in 9/11 tragedy.

Re: The TV / Streaming shows thread (no spoilers please)

Schitt's Creek - Rating - 5/5
Daniel and Eugene Levy have created a masterpiece of a show that is almost perfect in its execution. Misfortune, drama, light comedy, satire, romance, love, empathy and most important of all Joy! Joy as an emotion is so rarely expressed, explored and mastered on streaming shows, but Schitt's creek manages to pull it off with aplomb.

There are very few shows out there that deal with this wide range of emotions and succesfuly manage to enthrall the audience. The best is the attention to detail that has gone into charecter development and costumes. At times you feel its the costumes and pagentry that is the real star of this show.

Starts off slow in the first season but trust me, at the end of the 6th, you will be standing up and cheering!

I completely and absolutely agree with your rating and every word that you wrote. Me and my wife both loved watching this show.

Every character's display of emotions are so intense, that we sometimes watch the same scene repeatedly. Their strange but funny expressions have now become my favourite GIFs in chats.

Those with access to Hotstar premium: I recommend the HBO miniseries "Big Little Lies". Two seasons, seven episodes apiece. So good for a binge weekend. The plot is about five gorgeous Monterey women and their families, a murder and its aftermaths. Absorbing.

I completed all 4 seasons. 1st season with glee, 2nd with much joy too. But the 3rd and 4th were drags.

High Seas

It's a Spanish whodunnit, dubbed in English. Very engrossing and well made. 4/5 stars for Season 1, which I am just about to finish.

For fans of Science fiction shows, the season 5 of the Expanse is now streaming on Amazon prime (first episode released today).
I really liked the previous four seasons of Expanse and am looking forward to this one too!

Watched Blindspot on Prime, will give it 3.5/5. It has its highs and lows however if one is interested in FBI stuff this is it.

Watching Blacklist on Netflix and must say it is awesome. Giving it 4.5/5

Thank you for sharing this important update. I have really enjoyed Expanse over the previous four seasons.

Just checked - Prime has now dropped the first three episodes of Season 5.
