The series is boring and only gets interesting ones Din Djarin (Mado) is in the storyline. The first 4 episodes were just not exciting enough, felt like low budgets add-on to the Mandalorian series. The last 3 episodes on the other hand had a lot happening and were entertaining to watch. Overall felt it is only for the hardcore fans of the Star Wars Franchise.

Boba Fett was such a superb character in my mind, but what they showed of him here was mostly lame, he was just not aggressive enough, trying to play the nice guy in a underworld. Also he and his associated seemed to get trashed way to often and the turn things around in a jiffy, too disjointed for my taste.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is an American political action thriller television series, based on characters created by Tom Clancy for his Spy thriller novels.

6/10 Season One - Got a solid storyline, some nice twist and intelligent writing making for a satisfying watch, what they show seems believable.

4/10 Season Two - They have ditched the formula of Season One, having a believable storyline for a high stakes over the top action drama, you will find assassin chases with the likes of Bourne series and political war drama where even half a squad has the power to over throwing foreign governments. This is pure mindless action drama.

Zakir shares his life journey with his own unique style of storytelling. He makes us laugh and cry when he retells on tit bits of his life which we all can relate with. His school days, to collage days, to being a rebel from family, any eventually path to success.

The focus here is his interaction with his grandfather in each of these timeline of life, the antics they played on each other will put a mile on your face.

Zakir is the Goat of storytelling, he has a way with words, the knowledge on how to pull your emotions strings.

Very satisfying watch, I laughed out loud and did have eyes full of tears.

This is one of the worst fantasy series I have watched, the sad part it is from the same world which introduced the genre to me and set the standards for it. If you are a fan of Lord of the Rings Trilogy or the Hobbit, you will be disappointed, if it is your first foray in to middle earth, it will be lackluster adventure.

Nothing besides the cinematography looks good, be it the casting, acting, dialogues, action sequences, props designs, visual effects or the pacing all were terrible. The only part I enjoyed in the eight episodes of butchered works was the story line of the last three episodes. That is the only reason I raised my rating from 1 to 2 star on 5.

Loved it, easily among the best if not the best animation ever made, they hit the mark in all departments and more, the animation, story, world-building, action sequences, characters, music, and voice acting are all superb.

The animation is a work of art, a great blend of 2d & 3d, the story is full of emotions, you feel for the characters, their pain and struggle, Jink is probably the best portrayal of a Harley Quin character. The world-building is a fantastic blend of stem punk with a touch of magic and the action sequences mind-blowing and bending.

I am really looking forward to season 2.

The series is based on the game series League of Legends, but you need no background knowledge to jump right into it.

Loved it, the Sandman is a dark fantasy drama television series based on the highly acclaimed comic book of the same name written by Neil Gaiman, although I have not read them, I know of their cult status.

The series captivates you right from the start with its casting, performances, production design, costumes, and visual effects. While the initial episodes are a treat to your eye, introduction to this world, the middle episodes are a treat to your brains, my favorite episode were episodes 5 and 6 titled 24/7 and The Sound of Her Wings, did feel the ending arc lackluster in comparison.

The series is shot in anthology style of storytelling, at times you feel disjointed with the style as favorite side characters only make an appearance for an episode or two before disappearing altogether, but this approach keeps the plot fresh and never drags the plotline which was the case with the last arc spanning four episodes.

Tom Sturridge as Dream was born to play this role, he captures the essence of this character perfectly be it the physical or the voice and dialogue delivery.

I am really looking forward to season two.

The only things working for the series are the casting and the performance by them, rest all is very disappointing. The plotting and storytelling are bad, the action sequences horrendous, the pacing slow, and the production undeserving to be associated with Obi-Wan Kenobi's name.

The other Star War franchise movies and series had entertaining factors such as crazy fight sequences, great humor, the charisma of the lead cast, plot twists, stunning world-building, and mind-blowing cinematography, this was lacking all of these.

This series is a character study and development of Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi, while the idea itself is good, the execution is disappointing.

Spy × Family is an anime series based on a manga of the same name. It is an entertaining watch, full of humor, action and heart-warming family dynamics about a dysfunctional family of a father spy, a mother assassin and a child mind reader.

This is easily among the best animation I have watched in recent times, the characters are adorable, the comedy is spot on, and the family is just too cute.

Being produced by highly acclaimed Wit Studio, the anime itself is perfect for what it sets out to do

The show does taper down on the fun factor as the series progress but it never gets dull. In the end, I was left wanting more.

The series boasts a superb cast and performances, Oscar Issac is super in his portrayal of Moon Knight and supported well by Ethan Hawke & May Calamawy. The plot is dark, intriguing and at the same time has plenty of humor, also it got tons of action but in the end the overall package is not entertaining enough.

I just didn't feel the inclination to watch the next episode, took me over a month to finish the series, it was no fun enough. The series focuses less on the traditional superhero genre and more on a messed-up physiological thrilled line although with superb acting. Would have worked as a movie but as a six-hour series, it was too dragging.

Halo is a military science fiction television series based on the video game franchise of the same name, although I have not played the games, I knew of its huge presence in the gaming world. So I got into the Tv series without any background lore or fan expectation.

I dig military sci-fi and this one is filled with action, intrigue, twisted plots, and regular question on moral issues of what's right and wrong in war and us moving forward as species. Really enjoyed the background story on how the Spartans were made or the ideology of the foremost doctor in the human race. Lots of the storylines are still open-ended and seem like filler at this point, especially the one to do with Kwan.

As for casting, It took me time to adjust to the choices, almost all the faces were new to me, and not to my liking, they grew into me over time but they are yet to win over me.

Really enjoyed the first season, looking forward to season two.

Just might be the best series in Phase 4 of MCU. With Jeremy Renner reprising his role as Clint Barton, an actual Avenger, and the only one without his own film, this series was much needed. Hawkeye doing entertaining street-level fights is refreshing.

The new casts are charming and fun, especially Hailee Steinfeld as Kate Bishop in the lead, the chemistry between her and Hawkeye is superb, loved her restless and impatient self, we always get a smile seeing her doing her things. Among the other characters who stand out to me was Tony Dalton's Jack Duquesne, the agreeable sword aficionado. All the special appearances added to the plot and storytelling in a meaningful way.

This was a very different style of MCU show, the focus was on having fun, about family and the danger never gets threatening.

Reacher is a crime thriller action series based on the Jack Reacher book series. This is a very 80's-90's style action fuelled crime drama, there is no CGI and such, this is all about guns and muscles. Alan Ritchson as Reacher is the endowment of an unstoppable force of nature. The casting is really good with all the side characters, my favorite being Maria Sten as Frances Neagley.

The plot is about Reacher a retired U. S. Army military policeman, visiting a rural town and being accused of murder. He uses his detective and fighting skills to go about solving the case, as he digs deeper the scope of the crime becomes bigger and more personnel.

A very entertaining watch, really looking forward to Season Two.

The Wheel of Time is an epic fantasy television series based on Robert Jordan's novel series of the same name. For many, it is a poor man's version of Lord of Rings bought to television and even I felt so with the initial two episodes.

Luckily having read the series twice, and being my favorite of the time, I knew of the vast, intriguing, and well-balanced Universe, its magic system, and politics. The book series draws on numerous elements of both European and Asian mythology and religions, the cyclical nature of time and reincarnation found in Hinduism, the concepts of balance and duality, and a respect for nature found in Taoism, the fight between light and dark found in the Abrahamic religions. By the end of season one, we only get to touch on these subjects loosely.

Rosamund Pike as Moiraine Damodred and Josha Stradowski as Rand al'Thor were a perfect cast. The others took me a long time to get used to and even by end I can't associate Matt from the books to the one on screen.

The biggest hurdle for getting the books to the screen was the size of the books and the complicated concepts it handled, the showrunners did a great job with the world-building, pacing, and making the series approachable, although in doing so we do lose the depth, it is still fair considering we get to explore a part of the magical world of Wheel of Time.

Really looking forward to the next season.

Brilliant storytelling, the pacing is slow and takes its time in building up the vast and interesting universe but what a story it tells. Loved the many unique ways people end up cheating death, and when they survive beyond their expiry date, the religious, political, and personnel dilemma they find themselves in.

The first season has a shaky start, but ends with a bang. It could have done with fewer episodes, at times the pacing was really dragging.

The casting was brilliant, Lee Pace is natural in an emperor role, and the other less known leads add color and variety to the otherwise whitewash casting often found in big productions.

I believe the series to be very different from the books it's based on, so the fans of the book series have been warned.

The review is for first three seasons comprising 48 episodes.

Silly take on the Isekai genre, a guy being reborn as slime, sounds like a crappy plot but it comes out smelling great. What works for it is the solid storyline, with fun characters and engaging world building. The anime and the soundtrack itself is nothing much to write about. The show is targeted at young audience with its childish story none the less I enjoyed it with its feel good factor.

Squid Game is a South Korean survival drama. I started watching the series after seeing the trailer thinking of it as a cool fun adventure thriller, instead, it turned out to be more of a hard-hitting human story. It has so much depth for a survival series genre which is mainly known for brutality and gore, which it has in plenty, but also adds to it with the writing having heart-wrangling social commentary.

The writing and direction are class, the casting spot on, the music, set pieces as well as camera angle really add to the thrill. The only complaint I have is, it was two episodes too long, dragged in the middle.

Lupin is a heist thriller series based in modern-day Paris, Omar Sy in the lead takes inspiration from the 19th-century books on Arsène Lupin, the fictional gentleman thief and master of disguise. The series is fast-paced with plenty of glamour, disguises, cons, twists, laughs, and lots of fun.

I have been a fan of Omar Sy ever since I saw his charming humorous self in The Intouchables so was really excited to see him, and he didn't disappoint me one bit, he is simply slick, smart, sexy, and stylish.

Season One - Does a great job in building up the tension and plotline for the character

Season Two - Direct Continuation to Season One and a satisfying end to the story of modern-day Lupin. There were plenty of downers when it came to action or plot holes but it was all ignored when the delighting Omar Sy was in play.

Superb casting, performances, and visuals but the story itself left me wanting for more, the writing and plot were just not exciting, entertaining, and engaging enough.

The plot is about a Mandalorian bounty hunter who goes rogue on a mission. Instead of killing or retrieve a target, he goes soft and becomes its protector.

For the fans of the Star Wars universe the series is a real treat as it gives homage to the movies, we get to visit knows places from the past, meet some fan-favorite characters as well as get to see re-enacting scenes from the movie franchise. As for the first-time watchers of the franchise, it's an easy step in. Be prepared to be mesmerized by the alien world of Star Wars.

The series got good production values, felt the quality of the special effects being better than some of the blockbuster movies. The background score is one of the best, couldn't stop humming it. As for the direction, it's top-notch, considering it has the best names in the business.

Season One does a great job in introducing us to the characters along with adding history and mystery to them. Each of the episodes was great with gun-slinging action, memorable one-liners, and laughs.

Season Two does everything that made the previous season great and only adds to it.

Season Three - "This is the way", the series delivers again. Considering it is season three, expected the series to taper off, but the new engaging storyline keeps me involved, do feel two episodes were filler but they may be building up to future storylines and series.

I had read the first few volumes of the comics the series is based on about a decade back, I remember loving it. Having forgotten pretty much most of the contents, it felt right to jump into the TV series, got to say I was not disappointed, but still below my expectation.

Loved the casting and their performances, they were good. Also, the score set design, and visual effects really added to the spooky feeling. The highlight of the series is the plot premises, original and innovative take to the fantasy-horror genre.

What I didn't like was the flow of the series and how scenarios play out, they build up a tense situation and then everything goes back to normal as if nothing happened, this inconstancy just left me frustrated, although still looking forward to the next season.

The movie had a good plotline, Captain America's legacy tied up with social commentary relevant to our present times. Just the way they go about presenting it was muddled up. The biggest failure was pacing, stretching contents meant for 120 minutes movie to over 300 minutes series just doesn't work. The series does have some great moments and I did enjoy the chemistry between the leads, their banter was the best the show had to offer, also enjoyed the appearance of other characters from the MCU films, they really added charm to the otherwise dull ride.

The show revolves around Srikant Tiwari portrayed by Manoj Bajpayee, a middle-class man working as an intelligence officer. The causal take on the everyday life of a Spy with its ups and downs, the mess up on the job, and the life at the family's end are fun to watch.

Season 1 -The show has lots working for it, from superb casting, snappy dialogues, to nerve-racking situations, at the same time I do have complaints. The actual terrorist thriller parts only start off in the last quarter of the series. A lot of times, scenes end open-ended, you are left to your imagination to make on what happened, the season itself ends on a cliff-hanger. A fun series to watch but nothing exceptional.

The series revolving around a multiplayer online video game called Glory. We get to watch a likable character who is almost a god of this game start all over with a new character and we get to see his new journey to domination. It's got a good story-line having drama, comedy and tragedy.

What really stands out is the casting, be it the lead or the support they capture and portray the characters to the perfection.

So I came to the series after having already watch the excellent anime series of the same name, even gave a go at the book the series is based on, got to say the Live action television production is the best of the lot among them.

The story and telling of it is the highlight of the Chinese donghua (anime) series, they build up a lot of history for the main protagonist and slowly unwind it. The show is confusing at the start as there are no explaining and it felt like you have jumped into a middle of a series instead of episode one.

The animation itself is beautiful and so are the characters adding to the vibe for the genre the donghua is aiming for.

Season 1 (9/10)- We get one after another outrageous hustles, they are at times over the top and at times brilliant. Each of the scam takes about movie lengths of time and the scam artist's keep trying to pull one over the top of their mark as well as team mates.

Season 2 (6/10) - The scope is bigger when compared to season one, one could say it was all in preparation for the biggest swindle of their life, just the ending does feel a bit too much, luckily the after-credits give us heartwarming closer.
