Inspector Rishi On Prime.. Very well made series.. Not sure how it's going to end but enjoyed every episode so far

Resident Alien

A crash-landed alien takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor and slowly begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his secret mission on Earth.

Good one! I think its on Netflix... Family drama+Comedy it's not typical sci-fi

yes i caught a few beginning episodes and liked it.. will have to revisit

Currently watching Bosch on prime video. Loving it. Slow moving crime investigation and a realistic life stories of the characters personal lives. 7 seasons.

Watched Heeramandi directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali on Netflix.

Women dominated show and some good performances (Monisha, Sonakshi etc) but I don’t get the obsession of SLB/Bollywood with Kothewalis(courtesans) and stereotyping them as golden hearted .

Also SLB doesn’t do any research from historical perspective (be it Padmaavat or Gangubai). Heeramandi (Diamond district in Lahore) was powerful during Mughal era in 15th/16th century but by 19th century, it had lost most of its prominence is what historians say. Some of the courtesans might have joined or supported Indians' independence movement but the way it is predicted in series, seemed too much of imagination !!

Weakest link in performances was SLB’s niece Sharmin Segal. She has a prominent role but did not do justice to it at all. Nepotism by SLB too Lalpataa ladies Pratibha Ranta or Shruti Sharma in brief role could have done better than her if they were chosen for this role. Aishwarya Rai in her younger days could have been the perfect fit too!!

Started watching https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_Beat_(TV_series) in Tamil on Sling- a clean "hospital drama" on the lines of ER/Scrubs/Grey's anatomy. AFAIK, it's first of its kind in India and a decent watch if you're tired of hearing curse words!

Monarch - Legacy of Monsters.. nice series on Apple TV (Latest in the MonsterVerse). looks like there might be a sequel..

Sugar - Apple TV - If you are a fan of raymond chandleresque stories.. this series is for you. somehow LA seems to inspire such genre of movies/books and it's beautifully shot and everything about this series is classy..

Got occupied with one of greatest game Elden Ring, and been devastated due to loss of my companion Melina in the game who'd promised to be with me till the end. I don't understand why these games need to reflect real life ...
