Stranger Things (2016)
How to make 4 seasons with a single storyline?
Okay, this is probably an unpopular opinion - but am I the only one who feels every season in this show has the same storyline with similar things happening to different people? Season 1 was novel and interesting. Season 2,3 became redundant but watching it was still a guilty pleasure. But season 4 is highly disappointing. The whole "kids/teenagers" solving mysteries is really pretentious and is stretched far too long. Too many parallel threads make it hard to feel for any. Better graphics, more gore and incredible sound design doesn't make up for bad writing! Many scenes are predictable (formulaic writing) and some are outrageously illogical. Very disappointed!!
Ojing-eo geim: Unsu joeun nal (2021)
Perfect ending!
I see why people are disappointed with the ending. Gi-Hun started off as a good for nothing selfish kinda guy and the game made him develop compassion for others and we see him gradually transform into a person who is now capable of handling responsibilities. In my opinion Gi-hun transformed the winning process as I think previous survivors of the game must've ended up as dark, evil and selfish beings (captain). All this came at a huge price - he lost his mother and friends and he's stuck with guilt and is away from his daughter. The old man twist is probably underwritten and I think it was a lost opportunity to introduce a layer of conflict (good vs evil, hope vs despair). Nevertheless, I think the ending is justified as Gi-Hun is now a transformed person and for him putting an end to this brutal game is more important than being there for her daughter, something that Gi-hun of the first episode would never do!
Panchayat (2020)
Reminds me of Malgudi days!
This is probably one of the best shows ever on Indian screen! Every episode makes you smile straight from the heart and I don't know when was the last time I did that. The feel good factor reminds me of malgudi days. Nuanced characters, wonderful performances, honest writing and earnest approach. When was the last time we described an Indian show/movie like this! Wah !!👌
Orange Is the New Black: Be Free (2018)
Best episode of the entire series
This episode sums of the basic theme of orange is the new black. It's hard hitting with the best season finale ending. Wow.
