Squid game Season 3 was alright but not as good as season 1 or even season 2 but I guess it tied up all the loose ends & not stretched to another season.

A Talkative Conspiracy Spy Thriller That Burns Very Slowly…

Trailer:

Was wondering why there is a Part 2 and it seems once a thread (the original one) reaches 10,000 replies it gets automatically closed.

Why? must have something to do with this infinity scroll business :woozy_face:

Ted Lasso.

Just incredible. I thought how could Americans could create something worth watching related to football? They can’t even name the sport correctly! But boy was I wrong!!

It is most wholesome, entertaining TV series I have ever watched. Full of life lessons, quotes and moments that make you teary eyed.

10/10 would recommend. All 3 seasons. Can’t wait for Season 4

American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden

A very well put-together series documenting Bin Laden’s rise and eventual death.

Completed that time itself. A bit of wobble when they wound up otherwise taut and compelling. Solid 8/10

A Captivating Crime Series…

Trailer:

Similar event happend when China shocked with Kung fu panda or even Japanese create anime about Ramayan better than us.

Mercy for none

Lots of violence and blood

Arcane

Animated Series
2 seasons

Got into it with no expectations - thought it was just another series based on a game (which I have lost all hopes for especially after the Halo show)

Turned out to be the most beautiful piece of animation I’ve ever seen paired with an amazing story.

Can’t recommend more (even if you’re not into animations)

Halo show was diabolically scarring for my devotion to Halo :sob:

Yellowstone
8/10

Loved the series . I’ve always been fascinated the cowboy/rancher lifestyle and this is exactly what this series depicts . Being from HP I could also relate to the theme of outsiders (People from different states) with a completely different value system trying to settle in your region without making any effort to assimilate.

Squid Games- Season 3: Good season with some memorable challenges. However, this was an absolute heart wrenching series of episodes with all the culling.

Now, do we get a spin-off with the way the final episode ended?! Wishful thinking: I want Pedro Pascal as lead in the spin-off, if it’s ever made and a female antagonist.

The Sandman season 2 is coming tomorrow (netflix).

Another great show is Foundation, on apple tv+ coming on July 11.

The Sandman Season 2: 6 episodes have been released out of 12.

More emotional drama compared to first season, but still has it’s unique and great moments. The dubbing in Telugu is very well done.

Really liked the show. Somehow this show is addictive for me.

Have to wait 3 more weeks to watch the remaining episodes.

The Agency : Wow, to find Fassbender can act and have the full set of emotions displayed on his face!! I hope no CGI was involved!
Joke apart, he is really good in this solid spy caper. It is a remake but good production values, what with Clooney behind it. 7.6/10 from me. 0.1 extra for making Fassbender act.

Ironheart - 6/10
I don’t want another supe. MCU is doing 2nd round for every marvel hero, fk it. Even story and character arc of RIRI is bad.

Love foundation , the star bridge falling and wrapping around earth has to be one of the best CGI scenes ever made .
