I'm done gatekeeping these gems: understated short TV series

-

There are days when you feel like binge watching a series that leaves you pretzel brained for days but then there are days you need something quick, fast paced and enjoyable. 

Here are a few gems you might not have heard of or watched multiple reels of:

1) Fisk:

This one popped up randomly on my Netflix. A six episode show revolving around a mundane wills & probate lawyer in a small town in Australia who clings to work, life and everything in between through dry humor. If you liked Derek, or the office (I mean who doesn't)  try this one.

Genre: Comedy, Dry Humour

Where to watch- Netflix

2) Girlboss:

Netflix's personalization game is strong, thanks to that, it led me to this. Girlboss is about a broke woman who turns her business of selling vintage clothing into a multi-million business. You will breeze through these 13 episodes before you finish you three course meal you decide is your cheat meal at 2 AM.

Genre: Comedy

Where to watch- Netflix

3) Derry Girls:

One of my friends recommended this show and I can't thank her enough. I find myself rewatching this show every now and then for a good laugh. In a small town in Ireland, 4 catholic girls steer unasked trouble in the small town, plotting unsuccessful schemes to get popular and leave town, all leading to peels of laughter due to the sheer absurdity of the situation and the characters. The characters are so well-written, you will end up wanting to re-watch it, as soon as the three seasons are done.

The accent takes a while to get used to but, trust me, it only gets more fun.

Genre: Comedy

Where to watch- Netflix




4) Criminal:

This show is a police procedure anthology which takes place in four countries. It's so intriguing to watch how criminals confess during interrogation and what gives them off. Every episode in each country is tailored to perfection. You will binge watch this series and it will leave you wanting for more.

Genre: Crime fiction

Where to watch- Netflix


5) Crashing:

I discovered this show when I went down a rabbit hole of finding out about Phoebe Waller-Bridge and I was not disappointed. Six broke individuals live in an abandoned hospital and try to make it through each day. Chaotic, fun and unhinged. This show is most definitely an underrated gem.

Genre: Comedy

Where to watch- Netflix


6) Inside Man-

I stole this description from the internet because there is no other way to describe it. A prisoner on death row in the U.S. and a woman trapped in a cellar under an English vicarage cross paths in an unexpected way. This one will keep you at the edge of your seat.

Genre: Crime fiction

Where to watch- Netflix



Happy Binging!

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...
