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

Not sure if I posted this earlier. But, if anyone is looking to watch some light series then do check out the Pakistani series " Zindagi Hai Gulzar" on Netflix

It's one of our favorite series and we have already watched it a couple of times in last 3 years and do watch some episodes once in a while again

Language (Urdu) is literally like dripping honey and music to ears. The storyline, characters and overall drama is immensely enjoyable

Nope, I have not gone soft but, sometimes I like to watch something not so intense to unwind

I would rate this a 5/5

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

I would recommend Bhp'ians 2 shows I watched recently.

1. Gullak: Its a comedy family drama which presses the right buttons with relatable situations middle class Indians face. TVF fans can recognize the actors but largely they are unknown faces, which I think makes the story more relatable.
IMDB rating is 9.1
SonyLiv (although season 1 is available in Youtube)

2. Ted Lasso: Again comedy sports drama with a hilarious premise of an American junior league football coach moving to England to coach a premier club. Jason Sudeikis bring this natural wit in every scene and makes for an entertaining watch. Interestingly the idea for this show was based off a comedy sketch Jason did years ago.
IMDB rating is 8.7
AppleTV

Watching Resident Alien now, its an 'Okay' watch so far.

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

watched 6-7 episodes of Schitt's creek and gave up = boring, repetitive and not funny at all. Not sure why this show is so highly rated. Or, may be I should stick to crime and drama.

Started watching Secrets of Sinauli on Discovery+ and found it really good. So far, only 1 episode is available. So, you can wait for all episodes to be available. Manoj Vajpayee is doing a great job as the narrator. Fascinating documentary about our ancestors who are lost in history. Definitely recommended.

You have to stick with it for a while. It gets better. It got on my nerves initially too but definitely got better s2 onwards.

It too gave up after a few episodes. I tried really hard to watch it. But realized it is not my cup of tea.

+1 to that. Season 01 is just the setup hence its quiet boring and seems very artificial at times. Season02 episode04 onwards is where the fun begins IMO.

If you are a fan of George Lopez, Fraiser, Cheers etc. which is old school fun OR even something like Young Sheldon, you will enjoy Schitt's Creek.

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

I care a lot (Netflix)

An excellent thriller about a smart con woman who dupes old people from their inheritance until she meets one old woman who is her match

Starts off in a good way but, after probably 70% of the movie, it starts tapering off but, overall a good watch and keeps you intrigued till the end

Rosemund Pike (Ex-Bond Movie actress) is excellent as the con woman and immensely watchable

3.5/5

I agree with the review; I found ‘I Care’ quite decently paced although I did expect a lot more action.

Finished Wandavision. It's good but my expectations were more considering its huge popularity. Olsen and Bettany have done a very good job. Especially Bettany in some scenes is absolutely terrific.

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

Any Ashton Kutcher fans here? I am one, and started watching "The Ranch" on Netflix just because of him. Got hooked after a couple of episodes. A refreshingly different plot because it's based on a small town ranch. Very enjoyable comedy with a little bit of everything mixed in (family + girlfriend + business etc.).

Will give it a 4 / 5 rating. Would be 3.5 stars, but extra 0.5 for Kutcher

My bad. I thought it's only 8 episodes but the last episode will air on 5th march. Will evaluate it again after that.

Just finished watching all three seasons of The Borgias. Had watched Marco Polo, The Medici and The Crown earlier. All of them are historical TV shows, spiced up quite a bit with gory violence and sex, but mostly true. Things haven't changed much and you can see that history is being repeated. Highly recommended!
