| ![]() Ahem. I'm going to be brave and mention Netflix India's "Vampire Diaries". The series has left me hooked, despite being namby-pamby with ample teenage high school dramas interspersed amid a well-woven storyline. The very concept is cliched and has been beaten to death with the "Twilight" movie trilogy. We've seen enough movies and series around vampires, werewolves and witches running around high school or college campuses ("The covenant", "Teen wolf", "Sabrina the teenage witch", "Buffy the vampire slayer"...etc.), some of which where utter flops. So it took a real man (ahem) to you know, man up, and risk time watching this teenage drama. But what unfolded over 4 seasons so far has left me addicted to it. "Vampire diaries" is alright to watch and enjoy. It has good storytelling. Caveat - I tend to fast forward past the sticky-icky scenes with romance, crying and stuff. If you follow the same mode of watching this series, you'll make it through to the other side with enjoyment. Note - There's a spin-off of "Vampire diaries" on Netflix India now. It is called "The originals". And I'm hearing good things about it as well. |

Ted Lasso - Don't miss it for anything. It's on Apple TV. Probably the most feel good show i had ever seen. The Big Bang Story - First 6 seasons are pure fun. Then it starts going down. How I met your mother - Barring the last couple of seasons it's quite awesome. The Office - Steve Carell is brilliant in this. Such understated way of showing the everyday office life. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - Not everyone's cup of tea as some episodes get quite dark in its tone but I enjoyed it thoroughly. New Girl - it's quite underrated. First season takes time to take off but when it does it's a very pleasant little show. By the way I enjoyed Schitts Creek immensely but it's not something i can re-watch. Quote:

| ![]() Anyone watched Peaky Blinders Season 6 yet? It had a good farewell and plot ending to keep fans guessing the movie plot. I won’t splurt out spoilers for S6 in case the vast majority hasn’t watched it yet. |

| ![]() Gullak Season 3: what a delight to watch. I would rather call this as an emotional journey. Not even a second of screentime is missable. No unnecessary drama, complexities or situations. Writing and performances exceed expectations. Best part - it's enjoyable with entire family. Rated : 5/5. Thanks |

Infractions: 0/2 (10) | ![]() Watched Mai on Netflix My rating 4/5 Sakshi Tanwar is terrific in the role. It's comparatively slow at places. Find it difficult to belive how role played can think and get away in every unusual situations. |

| ![]() Mai: a mother's rage on Netflix. 4/5 from me too. Solid performances all around but Tanwar is the best. Never knew she acted so well? Only 6 episodes long, pacing is good. I personally never felt they were dragging any where. Revolving around a medical scam there are some head scratching holes but compared to what we get as Hindi thrillers (Rudra for example) this one is much, much better in every aspect. Protagonist is really unassuming and a true underdog but has a knack of getting out of impossible situations unscathed. Her complicated family dynamic is also shown nicely and those supporting actors have done well. Has a few gory scenes that will make you flinch. Otherwise I will say watch it. It's definitely one of the better ones from the lot. After Arya (Hotstar) this is the one I liked most. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Better Call Saul is back. Excellent couple of episodes to start. Lalo has to be one of the coolest character in their universe. If anyone hasn't seen it i highly recommend it and if anyone hasn't seen Breaking Bad then after this they should definitely watch it. There is a reason it's regarded as the best TV show. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Better Call Saul Season 6 dropped on Netflix yesterday in Europe and I didn't miss it. Riveting start to the season Finale which will converge with Breaking Bad towards the end. Needs a lot of patience to sit and wait for the Week on Week Episode drop but it will be worth the wait. |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Binge watched the following on Prime during the lockdown years. Started with the Big Bang Theory, followed by the Little Sheldon. Then The Office and the Good Wife followed by the Good Fight. On the Hindi front, two shows I liked for their sheer entertainment factor without violence are Chacha Vidhayak Hai Hamare and Panchayat.

I happened to bump into Season 5 recently. God Knows how I missed it. Not sure if it released on Netflix recently? It shows it was released in 202. Eitherways, Binged watched it last week. You are right. Lalo is an amazing character and not sure if Lalo and his more popular and maniac cousin TUCO will be shown alongside. But, both Salamanca brothers are wonderful characters. Lalo- Cool but, super menacing. Tuco- Cool but, super psychotic. ![]() No doubt the series is gripping and Sakhi Talwar did a wonderful job. However, I got completely put off by the abusive language that was used by some of male characters. Totally unnecessary and did not fit into the theme of story. Because of that my rating is 2.5/5 | |

I see that your location is US. As it is AMC's show, It takes a while before Better Call Saul seasons come to Netflix US. Its possible that season 5 dropped on Netflix US only recently. I was in US when season 5 released and I remember watching by subscribing to AMC on Amazon Prime. If you want to watch the new season now, you might need to get AMC on Prime or Sling Last edited by IndieGooner : 20th April 2022 at 22:06. |
