A romance drama for Goblin lovers
Another great drama by the director of Goblin. If you liked Goblin, you would probably like this TV series too. The beginning was a tad confusing but it made sense as I watched more episodes. I found it engaging.

A bittersweet Anime Series
This was such a beautiful, sweet and funny anime that touched on taboo and difficult topics. It was cute yet it was heartbreaking at times. Yes, some parts require suspending our beliefs and logic but it was a really moving anime series and I am still processing it after I have watched the first season. I hope Kotaro continues to find happiness.

This series should probably come with a trigger warning about abuse and neglect of children.

Less about marriage & more of a satire
A funny TV show with an insufferable man who tells what a lot of us are thinking. The funniest moments for me were the situations he got into by putting his foot in his mouth. I felt this was less about marriage and relationships and more about a satire on high class Indians.

Indian Inspired Godfather
Information and trailer about this movie were very misleading. It is an inspired adaptation of the Godfather. 80% of the movie was excellent and well paced though the last 20 minutes were a let down. I wish the movie ended a little differently and the action scenes were over the top and unrealistic towards the end.

The movie and storyline was okay. I liked Santa's acting.

However the cinematography was excellent. I loved the traditional houses and clothes and traditional jewelry worn by the actors. That was the biggest plus point of the movie.

I wish they had shot this completely in Tamil instead of in Hindi.

A very short 30 minute documentary about a native Mexican girl who runs marathons. She is from a village and they even stitch their own clothes. It was not too engaging for me but it was interesting to view how she lives. Her strength is inspirational.

This series was very informative and I learnt a lot about the origins of Indian food from different regions. I did feel that some of the people they had to give commentaries on food culture were not too accurate (especially if a non Indian watched them) but overall it was enjoyable.

Boiling reviewed Homeland
A great watch
A very well written TV series which is in tune with current politics. I like that the characters are portrayed authentically - for example Israeli characters are played by Israeli actors etc.

I was not too happy with the last season and Carrie's actions.

One thing that bothered me was - China or India are never mentioned like they do not exist and the enemy is always Russia. By 2015, China should also have played an important role in the foreign policy.

One thing I learnt is - Don't work for the CIA.

Initially, I found the main lead actress super annoying and did not like the TV series. Later on, I really liked the show. It had romance and humor. The dad (Mr Jang) was really good and there were quite a few funny moments.

This movie portrays Jyothika as a headmaster who comes to a government school in Tamil Nadu. I liked this over Hitchki which was more on the unrealistic side. The characters in the movie seemed more realistic and authentic.
