Hits a lot of right notes
Like most of Brat's productions, this story of a high school freshamn Zoe (Anna Cathcart) is also aimed at young adults. Zoe is an introverted, keeping-it-to-herself kind of girl, who, her whole life, has been overshadowed by her sister's bright presence. However, after losing her sister to cancer, Zoe must rise to the challenge of stepping into her sister's shoes but at her own terms. Anna Cathcart manages to capture the ethos of the charter pretty accurately and the show explores her transformation from a reserved magic enthusiast to a brave, expressive

The drama is aptly underplayed with much requisite comic relief. Well-developed secondary characters, intriguing enough revelations along with a fast-paced narrative adds binge-worthy to its list of pros. The fact that the show doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, yet is charming enough to draw the viewer back, makes it a good enough teenage drama.

I wish I could un-see it
What in the world, is up with this show? The protagonist, a successful architect, and a homosexual living with her girlfriend seems like a great starting point for a novel show but don't let that fool you. She is casually texting back annoying cheesy replies to her girlfriend while and drive her BMW to work. The violation of law, amongst utter mayhem that is this show is best left alone in a dungeon where no innocent soul could ever access it.

The acting is awful, with even more awful writing and a non-existent plot line. The only thing to look forward will be some steamy make-out sessions which are again poorly shot and acted. Production is visibly cheap with abhorrent sets, poor lighting, and costume choices. Nothing happening onscreen makes sense.

You can easily spot better characters and acting skills in annual school plays. Don't make yourself suffer through this abominable monstrosity.

Tasteful erotica
It was about time that unspeakable fetishes and thrilling sexual fantasies garnered some limelight in mainstream media. Fuh Se Fantasy does a fair job of capturing sizzling erotica while retaining emotional value. It's not unheard of for people to have harmless quirky fantasies, a show that embraces individuality and accepts how unique everyone's preferences can be, is actually a brilliant idea.

Each episode comes with a different fetish or fantasy and is completely unrelated to other episodes. With some great casting choices and subtle writing, performances are convincing and surprisingly non-superficial. The show manages to steer clear of ostentatious portrayals and can be credited of tasteful direction and pleasing production design

From threesomes to a pretend-hooker, Fuh Se fantasy curates a wide gamut of fantasies. It's a forward and progressive must watch.

A disaster.
Pushing out low-quality ludicrous shows was only what ALT Balaji could be credited for until 'X.X.X. : Uncensored' came along and made every other of their shows seem like a Quentin Tarantino movie. This untasteful and abhorrent Adult video masquerading as a TV series, really makes you wonder how did it ever make past production's screening.

With bad, appalling casting choices and extremely repulsive performances, nothing in the show is even worth a dime expect for a few steamy sex scenes which again are neither artistic nor intriguing. A famous high headed actor Mayank (Rithvik Dhanjani), decided to give lift to a complete stranger Kyra (Kyra Dutt), who out of nowhere starts narrating tales of weird sexual encounters. She is supposed to be enticing and seductive, but in fact, comes off as annoying to the viewer.

There is no acceptable plotlines, everything is happening to anything. The series needs to rewrite its disclaimer, for humanity's sake, and warn viewers about the mentally aggravation it may cause.

Amish Gupta reviewed Flip
A psychological thriller that lacks the thrill
If the show could match up to the standards of its description, it would have delivered an astounding experience, but it is yet another disappointment that claims ingenuity but screams mediocrity. It tries to dwell into dark, obscure corners of the human brain and reflect on the possibility of lives turning into dystopian nightmares if morals and rationale cease to exist. While that seems bad-ass, the attempt miserably falls face-first into failure.

From life-altering superstitions to traumatizing bullying, while 'Flip' does have some interesting ideas, they, however, are eclipsed by loosely held execution that fails to make any impact. The first episode, about a real-life hunting game, where participants kill human targets brought to an isolated island from mental institutions is actually as exhilarating as it sounds, but the subsequent episodes have weak plots and a godspeed deterioration in quality.

Except for the first episode, the rest of the series is neither dark nor compelling. That being said, there is still an attempt at crafting something irregular which cannot be overlooked.

A pleasant ride
A show that comes packed with stunning production design and equally stunning chemistry, will actually make you so glad that it happened in hong kong. While Serendipity crosses the paths of Amol (Amol Parashar), a businessman on his work trip and Aahana (Aahana Kumra), a travel blogger, but their passionate, lock-and-key like pairing holds them together, transforming their solo trips into a shared experience

The characters are multidimensional with a good amount of depth. Actors do a phenomenal job of capturing strong characters who maintain a charming exterior while grappling with their internal struggles. Writing is natural, free-flowing and presents an engaging storyline. The exotic locations have been shot exquisitely.

The protagonists compliment each other quite well. With all the ups and downs in the journey, the classic will they or won't they question will definitely make for an indulging experience.

Adorkable and hilarious
If the first thought that arises when you finish watching an episode is, 'I wish my parents were this cool,' then you're not alone but fortunately things aren't all sunny for Ishaan (Ritvik Sahore) either as he often finds himself attempting to defend a lost case to his parents (played by Loveleen Mishra and Subhrajyoti Barat) about unspeakable things-condom, sex or homosexuality.

The format is quite typical. The parents end up finding out about their son's predicament which they weren't supposed to, leading Ishaan to come up with a believable concoction about the find, at which, he always fails miserably and his parents figure out the whole truth resulting in an extremely comical and awkward confrontation. From finding condoms in his pocket to a girlfriend who has been snuck in or stains from nightfall, the inquisitive parents, a helpless son and witty writing results in a great formulae for entertainment.

Each episode is roughly 10 minutes longs and packed with some convincing performances and fresh, humorous lines. Son's misery inciting sympathy, mothers genuine concern and dad's suave nonchalant brushing off of all tension is well balanced and makes for an intriguing watch.

It's a great prep for when you might find yourself in a sticky situation.

TSP's take on the start-up culture is noteworthy
The incessant buzz around the startup culture shadows its lesser-known struggles quite well. It was about time someone brought them to light and break its glamourous perception. Zeroes do that and more. Following the story of 3 underachievers Brijesh Patel (Badri Chavan), a Gujrati boy from a well off family whose parties are as large as his stature, Satyananda Tripathi (Shivankit Singh Parihar) a sub-par employee and Lucky (Abhinav Anand), a delusional misfit. The trio plans to build a strat-up as a medium to realizing their dreams of success and money but here's the catch, none of them is competent or smart enough for the challenge and their business idea gives 'quirky' a whole other meaning. Lack of funding, skills and a core team are the glaring challenges amongst others, that must be conquered.

The characters are eccentric and nuanced, and actors deliver impressive performances. Writing is crisp, entertaining and engaging. The show is well-paced and lures in a with a strong plot that remains consistent throughout. The anticipation of will they or won't they make it big, keeps the viewer hooked on till the end.

It's a great watch and a unique narrative. TSP never disappoints.

Not everyone's cup of tea
Afloat on a bunch of lies and manipulations, Ronny's (Zakir Khan) world is unpleasant chaos that he called upon himself. In order to establish his superficial image as an important man, he claims to be related to a local powerful politician. This entire tale based around "tu Jaanta hai mera baap kaun hai" attitude is stretched far too long and thin.

Each episode is a different story of his trying to save face after he failing to keep h promises that he so often makes to anyone and everyone to establish himself as a man of resources. The character of Ronny is an interesting study, an underachiever whose idea of success and self-worth is driven by a false reputation and deception. Unfortunately, the writing is mediocre and fails to deliver strong punches or satire resolutely on an absurd culture of the sort.

Humor which is sparse and emotions which are a tad to redundant, this show's comedy style isn't everyone's cup of tea. The series can be only recommended to anyone with a taste for Zakir khan's 'sakth launda' manner of narrative

Another Girliyapa title that delivers great content.
MR and MRS is a short web series capturing conversational exchange between a new age man and wife. Usual themes of the episode are relatable and true to reality. Conversational topics range anywhere from house parties to in-laws and narrate a tale of the difference of opinion between the couple. Their feud generally ends with husband conceding or unsuccessfully justifying something insensitive he did.

The conversations are meaningful, characters likable and performances convincing. Humor is tasteful, writing is crisp and steers clear of cliches. The short sketch format is ideal for product placement which is almost seamlessly carried out. There is a good use of solid punchlines and witty remarks.

Sketches are fun, entertaining and worthwhile.
