Special Ops is better than "Family Man"

Asur is good but has few loopholes.
I would rate it 8.

Can ignore all its faults only for the finale!

I left Asur .. in the second episode itself..... ... technically week...even though it TRIES to project as highly technical but fails ..... ..... ...one small example .... which postmortem is done without proper masks ......

I also left Bard of Blood in midway same issue tries to be technical but falls flat ...

On the other hand a TVF production called "Panchayat" on APV was much much better .... Indian TV series are good when they stick to their core strength ..... shows like this and another from the same maker called "Hostel Daz" both awsome Indian web series ....

iam not an avid follower of star wars. i like it but not seen all the movies and also not watched in order. I am hearing good things about The mandalorian. Is watching star wars a must? Will i be able to relate if i watch it as a standalone? Can anyone suggest on this?

I say watch the original 3 star war movies anyway(a new beginning,empire strikes back & return of the jedi). Now if you find them good enough then there should be no issues continue watching later 3 parts(force awakens,last jedi,rise of the skywalker) or you can choose to watch The Mandalorian which is set in a time after return of the jedi & before force awakens.

The order to watch in my opinion is same as order of release which is: a new beginning--empire strikes back--return of the jedi--[3 prequel movies which you can safely skip: phantom menace--attack of the clones--revenge of the sith]--the force awakens--last jedi--rise of the skywalker. I have yet to see Mandalorian but it is in my to watch list.

Solo and rogue one are not part of this, right?

Finished panchayat. Good series with originality in language, setup, location, acting. The protagonist could’ve acted better imo. Usually the theme with eastern Uttar Pradesh/Bihar/Jharkhand is associated with Crime, Thriller genres but not this one. It’s a welcome change to add a bit of humour into it. As someone who comes from eastern UP and has worked in remote/rural locations as a government employee, I could relate to the protagonist very well & the script doesn’t disappoint.

I’ll give it 8/10.

Also, I’m currently watching The Walking Dead since time immemorial. I don’t know when I’ll finish that or keep up with season 10.

Counterpart.. I am always intrigued by plots that involve time travel or multiverse, the Synopsys of counterpart had the parallel world in it and had 8+ rating on IMDB so I gave it a try, and I must say I was not disappointed. The concept of parallel universe or multiverse has been done countless times, but I must say the premise on this show was done in the most unique manner. There is, of course, the concept of a parallel universe, but the idea of two worlds involved in a political war or a cold war per se was very different. Loved it. On the top performance by J.K. Simmons as Howard Silk was impeccable. Once is a meek docile and the other one is a stud and boy oh boy the dude managed to inculcate the mannerism to the highest detail to bring that distinction in two personalities. I was blown by the nuances he brought in each and every single dialogue delivery that made it so distinctively clear who is who. Kodos. The plot goes very slow in the middle but picks up later. People fan of some intellectual thriller. This is the show for you....its 7.2/10 for this one

Available on Sony Live

There are many good old shows on various channels Doordarshan, zee, sony etc but these channels are still showing recently ended shows on a loop. What a waste! looting us in lockdown is not good.

Yeah. 1990s was such a wonderful time. I first watched Tehkikaat (Saurabh Shukla’ show) where there was a ghost like face during the start. That gave chills & I still remember his face & I’m talking like 20-25 years ago.
We would watch matinee shows like Shanti, Swabhimaan then when cable tv came to my house then WWE RAW & cartoon network dominated.

If this were a movie, a national award would have been reserved for the lead//supporting cast

Kind of reminded me of "Welcome to Sajjanpur". Set up is similar to simple village but not that loud though.

Started Fauda S01 (till 5 spisode done)
Someone tell me this would pick up. At present thinking of quitting!
