Am I Missing out on Great Shows & Movies?



With new TV shows and movies releasing every other day, some great ones tend to get missed out on,

well, here is my list of shows and movies you can binge this weekend. I’ve tried to include all types of shows and movies to help you pick whatever you’re in the mood for.

In no particular order-


After Life: This show produced and starring Ricky Gervais as Tony revolves around a man who loses his spouse to Cancer and the aftermath of it. It talks about love, it’s loss and how one deals with it. Tony is Funny, Sarcastic but deep down Sad, resentful. This show is a journey of Tony from being miserable to hopeful.


This show also delves into the acceptance of reality, as is, even when it is bitter. I often find myself coming back to this show for it’s witty and unforgettable lines.


Genre: Comedy-drama

Where to watch: Netflix

Seasons & Ep: 2, 12 ep Each




The Bold Type: I accidentally came across this show when scrolling through my Netflix and was completely hooked. The story revolves around three best friends- Jane, Sutton and Kat who work at a Fashion Magazine in NewYork. We see them balance Work, Relationships whilst forging their own paths in the crowded city.

              

Genre: Drama

Where to watch: Netflix

Seasons & Ep: 5, 52 Ep





Bojack Horseman: Trust me, an animated  half man- half horse is not what I had in mind either but this show is multi-layered, unlayering the human psyche and exploring emotions like loneliness, depression and topics like Abortion and asexuality

Almost every other line in this show will leave you thinking for days. If there's one show I’d strongly recommend from this list, it’s this. Every character is shown with the same depth as if it were a real person exposing the rawness, vulnerability and above all, what it means to be human in the 21st Century.


Genre: Comedy

Where to watch: Netflix

Seasons & Ep: 6, 77 Ep





Kimi no Na Wa: (Your Name) This was suggested to me by a friend and my first     anime movie DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The story is about two teenagers who in a parallel dimension, switch bodies and eventually fall in love and search for each other in another dimension.


It’s the right amount of Sci-fi & Fantasy everyone would enjoy. The whole movie in terms of animation and visuals is mind blowing and a cherry on top, a very new and interesting concept.


Don’t wait out on this one.


Genre: Romance, Fantasy

Begin Again : This movie revolves around a struggling musician played by Keira Knightley and an established Record Label Executive played by Mark Ruffalo and how he helps and inspires her journey. It’s a beautiful depiction of friendship and how people can deeply influence each other.


Genre: Romance, Music

Is Love Enough, Sir?: The story explores the theme of forbidden love when a hard working house help and a son of a wealthy businessperson fall in love.

The story’s simplicity coupled with the complexity of themes like caste, Love vs Society is what impresses the viewers in general which made quite an impression at the Cannes Festival.

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...

A little bit of today |A little bit of tomorrow Epiphanies and Reflections I've been trying to write for a while now, but I just couldn't.  I recently read something on Tumblr that helped me kick start writing. I'll link it here- Read this here It's been one month today. One month that I've lost another significant part of my life in a span of one year. It's almost funny how time flies by. The other day, I told my mum "The best and worst thing about life is that, it moves on."  It feels like life is on autopilot, whether we choose it or not.   Do we really move on or do we distract ourselves to maintain our sanity? A few months back, when I was redoing my room, I bought the glow in the dark stickers for the ceiling. It just reminded me of my childhood days and I'd have my own sky to stare at, at night.  I don't remember the last time I looked up at my ceiling and admired them.  I either read like there's no tomorrow or I don't read at a...

  One thing I absolutely love and spend most of my free time doing is finding new things- Art, Books, Music, Shows, Movies, Poems and I can go on and on and on. Most things I find are usually through Pinterest, YouTube Comments, Following a few YouTube Channels, Reading an Author’s Favorite or about his inspiration (Always a great way to find great art) . Here are a few things I’ve discovered this month so far- Music: Let’s start with something easy. I don’t really have a specific genre of music that I like but I think it could be broadly classified as Retro Chill or Vintage Vibe. This month I’ve Come across something a little different.  Halsey’s - “I'm not a Woman, I’m a god Halsey’s- “Girl is a Gun Cage the Elephant’s -”Cigarette Daydream” Lord Huron’s - “Long Lost” Honestly, I love the Lyrics of Halsey’s new songs, Makes me feel confident and powerful but Cigarette Daydream and Long lost have been playing on loop. Lord Huron’s have a sense of Calm and a weird sense of f...
