After watching and re-watching Dr. Tharoor’s performance, one thing I am sure of is that he can make a fine living as a stand-up comic! His writing is artful, and delivery poised. Out of all the episodes, his is the only one to look forward to.

Amazon’s latest production throws open to the stage to not just celebrities but politicians. Each celebrity guest prepares their act with help of some renowned Indian comic, who also doubles as their mentor. The episodes have been hosted by Sapan Verma, who has a limited but acceptable skill set as an interviewer. While there’s little to tingle the funny bones in acts put by star guests, the show is still entertaining, owing to the acts put by comedians themselves.

Despite its shortcomings, ‘One mic stand’ is a step up from some of Amazon’s recent attempts at creating Comedy specials. If on a time crunch, skip straight to the episode showcasing Shashi Tharoor’s witty stand-up.

If you're into goofy, silly gags and a script that isn't afraid to make fun of its own plot then 'Medical Police' will manage to both entertain you and perplex you with its unusual form of comedy that works by concocting ridiculous scenarios and quickly going off at tangents from set moods and expected outcomes.

After Dr. Lola Suspects a virus outbreak to be far more consequential than its current state. One thing leads to another and Dr Lola (Erinn Hayes) and her (weird) ex Dr Owen (Rob Huebel) end up working for the CIA. The series follow their mission of putting a stop to the possible bioterrorism. Performances are spot on even if writing struggles every now and then. Beside our saviors – children specialists turned secret agents, most secondary characters are written and performed just as good.

With episodes no longer than 30 minutes- a sweet spot for comedy shows- there isn't much to complain. The series even gets better after the first episode which feels a bit too dragged even by the show's standards.

By building surreal, unexpected goofs and completely flushing logic down the drain most times, the aim is to take the viewer by surprise and invoke a chuckle at expense of sheer absurdity. I see absolutely no harm in experiencing this quirky show firsthand for yourself and figuring if it's your cup of tea or not. Either way, it won't be an utter waste of time.

It might not be made in actual heaven, but it has been spun someplace where dreams are made. Directorial ingenuity speaks volumes and the production design exudes finesse.

Central theme of the series revolves around presenting the shortcomings in the weddings of the uber-rich. Alongside it, run many subplots surrounding the lives of Tara and Karan, the owners and partners of a wedding planning company 'Made in Heaven'. The Actors successfully showcase multidimensional characters and each episode unfurls a new nuance of the character, making them human, and helping the viewers resonate with their emotional struggles.

From the surreal on-screen of the presence of Sobhita Dhulipala as Tara Khanna, wife of a proud, vain and filthy rich business tycoon Adil Khanna (Jim Sarbh) to Kalki Koechlin's flawless embodiment of Faiza Naqvi (a recovering abuse victim) or Arjun Mathur's portrayal of a closeted gay man- Karan Mehra, the show remains consistently engaging.

At no point is the grandeur overdone or ostentatious. The web-series is an amalgamation of emotions, drama, and retribution. It becomes an instant top contender on anyone's binge-list.

Groundbreaking dialogues, ingenious one liners and spot on performances are TVF’s forte, and ‘Hostel Daze’ is no exception to the rule.

In their pursuit of love, friendship and CGPA, three new admissions - Ankit (Adarsh Gourav), Chirag (LUV) and Rupesh (Shubham Gaur) have begun accommodating to the wild universe of hostel life. From exploring newfangled sexuality to first love and heartbreak, from crazy birthday celebrations to last minute exam prep, the themes are enticing, and episodes are well paced. I can’t say that everything about the show is a hundred percent true to life, but everything about the show is very warm, very authentic and very amusing.

Like most of TVf’s past content, the creators have chosen to keep the ethos of the show light and follow a familiar style of production, which frankly I have no complaint with. The show seldom addresses the darker aspects of life in college and trivializes villainy like ragging and deceptive college manifestos; which again, if anything, works in favor of the predominant theme of the show.

You’ll also find thoughtful, zany and multi-dimensional characters which are as ardently portrayed on screen as written on script. The show is an absolute no-brainer to recommend and you’ll either end up reminiscing about your own hostel days or gain insight into the logistics of hostel life, thus, making it a win-win regardless.

I am getting a little tired of dramas where protagonists decide to completely uproot their lives, almost shun their close friends and family and move to the middle of nowhere, because their internal peace definitely lies in some small, isolated town preferably with a heck of a lot of woods.

While the show may not offer a riveting or a novel plot-line, but strong performances and well-developed characters indeed come to its rescue. Mel (Alexandra Breckenri), who has recently suffered loss finds herself, for a change of pace, amidst very cliche characters of a small town that we are so used to seeing. A few of them include a know-it-all, adamant and self-proclaimed custodian of the town - Doc Mullins (played by Tim Matheson); a nosy mayor- Hope McCrea(played by Annette O'Toole); and a rugged, charming bar owner - Jack (played by Martin Henderson). I can’t blame the show for choosing a tried, tested and trite ensemble of characters, but it makes their actions quite predictable.

Despite the unoriginal plot (which can be excused, as the series is based on a book of the same title), the script is well written, and character have good arcs. The essence of the show is light, and actors do a great job at pulling the whole show together. There are corny one liners, but I am usually too distracted by the charming production design to complain.

My take: go for it. It’s a clean family show with romance, drama, and a feel good vibe.

Hard work, creative efforts, and earnest thoughtfulness were what went into the making of this show, and it becomes apparent from the title itself which is actually an acronym for the name of characters of the 5 female leads - Ayesha (Anshul Chauhan), Aditi (Pushtii Shakti), Faiza (Chitrashi Rawat), Anu (Neelam Sivia), and Titli (Nikita Dutta). Everyone one of them is indeed capable of bringing 'Aafat,' given their compelling performances and dialogue delivery.

At first glance, a corny story of a bachelor trying to find a bride through a marriage bureau, seems to be capable of putting anyone to a deep sleep but thank heavens, looks can be deceptive. The show is not about Ghoongats, Samosas or 'khana bana leti ho?' it's a well told tale of 5 unique, eccentric and bold women, who refuse to resign to societal conforms. Despite their bravado, they struggle and suffer, making them just as human as you and me. Performances do complete justice to thoughtfully written characters. Even the matchmaker has a wacky sense of humor which she puts to good use for entertainment.

The show does a great job when taking digs at societal norms and challenging them in their totality. It is miles ahead of most series in Indian web-space. It's an experience, I believe, everyone must go through, living it along with some charming leads, and savoring the genius that is the script.
