Dobi reviewed Zoe Valentine
After her elder sister, Cleo Valentine, dies, Zoe takes on the task of coming to terms with her loss. A typical coming-of-the-age teenage drama, 'Zoe Valentine' is sweet, endearing and cute. Anna Cathcart, of To All The Boys I've Loved Before, is great as the protagonist. She copes with her emotions with grace and poise, hard to find in teenagers. The story has a structure and is coherent. Overall, a nice one-time watch.

Dobi reviewed Flip
Comprising a total of four stores- The Hunt, Bully, Massage and Happy Birthdays, this series offers itself as an intriguing thriller to the audiences. Compared with the famous TV series Black Mirror, Flip too is engaging, unique, intriguing, and dark. Starring some of the big names like Ranvir Shorey, Jim Sarbh, Shweta Gulati and Arjun Mathur among others, it's a offers you an interesting premise that may not suit your tastes and senses if you don't have a thing for inane plots and flawed characters. Overall, it's is an interesting watch, sure, not as good as their western counterparts.

Dobi reviewed Zindabaad
Zindabaad features Vikram Bhatt, an erstwhile spy, now old and a drunkard as the protagonist. He's exasperated at the sight of some kids from the nursery school in his building being bombed because of a terror ploy by some Pakistani terrorists and decides to assassinate the terror attack's mastermind who is a celebrated extremist-cum-politician living in the infamous state. This also features Sana Khan and Sanaya Irani in key roles. The plot is nothing new, just the old wine served in a new brandish bottle, with new setting, new characters, yet the famous however retired intelligence agency officer and some lookalike of Hafiz Saeed. It's entertaining, sure, but it lacks depth and realism.

Dobi reviewed Breathe
Starring R. Madhavan and Amit Sadh, 'Breathe' is the story of a father, Danny Mascrenhas, who goes on a murder spree to save his son's life, apparently. The plot is gripping with some excellently thought out murders, however, it falls short of being actually convincing. The actors have done a remarkable job. Though the smugness with which he murders donors with the rare blood group type can't make you easily buy the whole story. Some comparisons have been drawn between the legendary character from Breaking Bad, Walter White, and the caring yet horrendous father, Danny Mascrenhas taking on a life of crime when a horrible twist of fate decides to define their lives . Overall, it's a good watch and with just 8 episodes, binge watch worthy.

Dobi reviewed The Good Vibes
The story, set in one of the posh areas of Juhu, centres on the story of a lovely, erring yet somehow compatible couple, Lakshya and Jonita, who are deeply in love with each other, however, are a dysfunctional family as per conventional norms. Passing over their troubles, they seem to dodge any uncomfortable situation they find themselves in. The struggles of a working woman with her not-at-all working husband is fun to watch. It stars Naveen Kasturia and Maanvi Gagroo.

The cast that includes some of the famous online talents like Barkha Singh, Sejal Kumar and Kitika Awasthi, the story that revolves around the life of 'girl students' in an engineering college, the show is entertaining and funny. Instead of a male perspective to the struggles of an engineering college life, the show offers us with the point of view of girls about their quirky, entertains lives, their struggles in relationships and the demanding college life. A great watch!

Dobi reviewed Imperfect
Perfect is overrated. It's important we shed the unrealistic notions around us to embrace who we truly are. Embarking on this young yet frivolous idea, IMPERFECT, centres itself on the story of a young woman, Isha Singhvi, who is coming to terms with her life. Having lost her job and the man whom she 'loved', she sets on a journey that allows her space to love herself. A refreshing take on an erstwhile mundane modern life. A nice one-time watch.

Dobi reviewed Girls Hostel
Girls Hostel follows the story of four fiery dental college students- Richa, Milli, Jo and Zahira. As they deal with their tumultuous yet funny college lives, the relationship they share with their parents and the mean wardens and the meaner fellow students, it becomes superbly entertaining and delightful to watch. A rivalry between the medical and dental students is just refreshingly funny. Starring Srishti Shrivastava, Parul Gulati, Simran Natekar and Ahsaas Channa, it's great one-time watch.
