New King of HBO
After the failing to entertain the fans with the last season of Game of Thrones with it's disappointing ending, many fans had started petitions addressing HBO to remake the Season 8 and portrayed their anger but...

That is when, HBO dropped the bomb called "Chernobyl" on our heads. Yes, it's a bomb indeed, the historical nuclear reactor incident named, the Chernobyl Disaster of 1986. After watching episode 1, one can say this was what the fans were waiting for from HBO in 2019. This was much more than any much awaited mini-series can offer.

The 5 episoded series, with its breathtaking cinematography and mind blowing background scores, this is a sheer gem. While the show also serves a lot of political drama (which again we don't know are true or not), but, what has been shown is highly believable and worth watching. With so much scientific and political drama and facts keeping you at the edge of your seat, I can say the better half of the controversial facts shown in this drama is true. Though, everybody has their own take in the same story.

This series is a must watch with Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgård's constant arguments about the outcomes of any action they take on the reactors, balancing out the scientific and political views in between them to Jessie Buckley's calm character that kept trying to bring out solutions to stop the widespread of the radioactive chemicals that's already in the air.

Making a mini series on a worldwide known incident like Chernobyl, which is yet still highly controversial with the take of USSR in this incident, this was a challenge to recreate and they have won this challenge.

Johan Renck has created a masterpiece that has surpassed top shows like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad in it's viewership and ratings.

This show is a must watch for every human being no matter how dark or disturbing the actual story might be because this is something, that has happened 33 years ago and most, who have witnessed or known of it then, aren't alive today. People who are alive right now, needs to watch this because yes we all have read about this disaster in our History/Geography/Environmental Studies class, in school but, this is the visual representation of that incident, and we all know, we truly believe what we see from our own two eyes.

Confused yet Entertaining
Just like the name states, all this series contains is "love, "lust" and lots of "confusion".

It's not like, all the time you want to what serious dark themed series/movies right? For times when you just want to sit back and relax while watching something entertaining which can be relatable to, if not your own life, your friends, Love Lust & Confusion is a must watch.

In today's world, not only guys but girls are hella confused, especially when it comes to who them like and who they love. You might be in a serious relationship and think the stranger in front of you is hot which brings up new thoughts in your mind. Now, especially in a time when you are about to get married, lots of last minute thoughts enter your mind, even the ones which are unnecessary and create a mess inside your brain.

"Galat time pe, galat cheezey dimaag mein aati hai", this is a common issue with any guy or girl in our age.

Mixing all these last minute drama (before her marriage), Poroma is confused between her lust for one guy, hiding a hideous truth (hoes over bros code) from her best friend, and keeping her engaged life with her childhood sweetheart Karan.

Life is full of confusion when it comes to us youngsters and surviving through it with problematic drama never leaving you, is a worthwhile drama series.

Must Watch
I'd definitely like to thank Zoya Akhtar for make this beautiful piece of drama in the theme of a big fat Indian wedding scenario. Showing content of struggling adults who identify themselves as a part of the LGBTQ community in our country, it has been beautifully projected by Karan Mehra's character.

While the show deals with a lot of heavy topics and involves a lot of characters (that don't leave us satisfied with their role) in the flamboyish, extravagant, glamorous weddings, the internal struggles of Tara and Karan won our heart. Both have their separate inner demons and issues with surviving in the society. Kudos to Arjun Mathur and Sobhita Dhulipala for the role.

Lastly, thank you Vivek Anchalia for putting forth the issues in our Indian society in such a manner that, even if it's for the sake of entertainment, people will watch it and then later think about it in serious note because there are many who'd rather avoid topics like this. Thank you for writing this beautiful version of the big fat Indian wedding including today's peak points of controversies and struggles.

Worth every penny spent
The perfect cat and mouse chase to be watched in 21st century.

Adapted from Vikram Chandra's novel, this mini series can be titles one of the best adaptations made by Indian Filmmakers. One's who have read the actual novel would say that a lot of plot twists and engaging parts were either eliminated or not executed as brilliantly as it were wrote by Vikram Chandra but, with the limitations of filmmaking in the Indian scenario, especially for a web series, Sacred Games couldn't be made any better. I have read the book after I had watched the series and yes, I felt a bit less connected to some of the characters and their relationship in the series than in the book but, not everything can be projected with every detail from a text to on screen.

Sacred Games might come of as a typical cat and mouse chase between police and a gangster but it is so filled with pot twists, emotions, cliffhangers, it will attract every single Indian to watch this and will keep them engaged throughout. From episode 1 to episode 8, the perfect grasp on characters, emotions and the plot, Vikramaditya Motwane and Anurag Kashyap have made a master piece. I guess this will be added as another raw emotion wrecking work by Anurag Kashyap, adding onto his collection after Gangs of Wasseypur.

Lastly, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Saif Ali Khan have nailed their character. While I might not be a fan of Saif, his work in Sacred Games have earned my respect. Nawazuddin Siddiqui owned the character of Ganesh Gaitonde. There couldn't have been any other person on this planet to play the role. His acting, his dialogue deliverance, every single thing was top notch. The whole country went frenzy for his character and started to act like him who is rather playing the antagonist in the series. One of the best villains of this country. Nawazuddin Siddique deserves all respect for his amazing work.

Whoever hasn't watched it yet, go watch it because, "kabhi kabhi sabko bhagwaan banne ka mann toh hota hai"
