Mr McMahon (Netflix)

As a WWF fan, this series is proving to be pretty good. Lot of inside stories and shows just how far that industry has come to.

3 episodes in and it's been a good watch.

Watching stars of childhood TV like Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Undertaker etc talk about stuff was pretty good.

*Shogun* - 4.5/5
Streaming on Disney+ HotStar

A Good Historical Drama Series - Good visuals, Story flow, Plot twists, Sound effects, Acting.

This is a Japanese language (Audio) TV show and i did liked it by understanding with Subtitles, Facial expressions, body language, Tones and undertones. It was interesting to hear the Japanese language dialogues just to know the tones and compliment the effect created along with the Background music.

The show is regarding fight between Fedual Lords of Japan around 1600AD to become the most powerful Military and Political leader called 'Shogun'.

Well deserved Emmy wins by this Series (though i do not have any idea regarding the other contenders).

A Gentleman in Moscow

What an absolutely beautiful series!!
It's based on a Novel by the same name, which is probably loosely based on an actual person. It tells the journey of a 'Count' is placed under house-arrest in a hotel for the rest of his life after the Russian revolution.

What makes this show special is the amazing performances, beautiful art direction/costumes, music transports you into that era and makes you feel for the characters. The show left me emotional, which does not happen often.

Must watch - 9/10
Surprisingly, it's IMDB rating is 7.4 which is pretty low, not sure why.
RottenTomatoes rating though is very good at 92% fresh.

Travels with my Father

This is hilarious, a bit Borat like but more refined. Jack Whitehall who is a bohemian modern day stand up comedian, takes his father on some travel experiences. Note that his father Michael is a very stiff uppity Britisher, 45 years older than him, always wears a suit almost pre-independence generation but he has a good heart.

Quite hilarious but they do express their affection for each other which is touching

Nobody Wants This, on Netflix



A typical comedy that makes for a nice watch to relax / unwind and pass time.

3.5/5
