Indian Predator: Murder in a Courtroom (2022)
Abusive language
I'm giving less ratings because of nasty dirty abusive language in Hindi language. The producers must know that Indians don't practice abusive dirty language or words that they have used here. Proper censorship is required. The production was excellent otherwise. The only social factor was missing on why do the police and court always ignore such poor communities in India, and take side with the criminals. There must be some specific explanations behind it.
The reasons behind the community had to take justice in their own hands was communicated very well. Their action was fully divine justice. The government should have apologised to the community and compensated them financially along with sentencing the accomplices of Akku who were equally involved in rapes. It wasn't shown as to whether they were also caught by police.
Agui kkot (2020)
Series too stretched
The biggest problem was the too much stretch to end the series, which is the problem in almost all Korean dramas. The plot has too many similarities with previous dramas such as "A Beautiful Mind 2016". They don't give any reason as to why the Baek couple gives Dohyun Su their son's identity. However, the direction and romance was beautiful, which makes it appealing. I loved the character of Ji Won. The last episode was extremely unnecessary in its sudden shift to the-50-first-dates twist, such desperate stalling and shifting is very annoying.
I think they should keep such dramas shorter up to 9 episodes, rather than having a fixed number of episodes as long as 16, which is too much.
The Puppet Master: Hunting the Ultimate Conman (2022)
Why didn't they demand for a new law?
The documentary was fascinating. The only missing thing is they should have included psychologists to discuss emotional psychological imprisonment. There should have been a campaign ignited in the documentary about new laws concerning psychological kidnappers.
Are we supposed to let the cult leaders like Jim Jones go free who entrap their victims in the name of religion as well? These type of criminals should get life sentence. I am surprised nobody demanded for a change in laws, no appeal, no campaign was made against such psychopathic brainwashers. He served only for 4 years, and even for his fraud of money should get him 20 years of imprisonment. Cases like this put down our trust in the system of law.
The Terminal List (2022)
Relatable Sensible Authentic Plot Production and Theme
You cannot wait to binge watch the whole series the moment you start it. This is the authentic A-Grade Hollywood stuff that has been missing since about a decade. It does not have any tiny bit of the wacky ugly modern humour that ruins authenticity & quality. Christ Pratt's acting is genuine, but the overall plot and production makes the series worth praising, especially in these times when political agenda dominates the theme. The series depicts a strong band of brotherhood the soldiers share.
The plot reveals an overarching ethical values that even the small acts of corruption or sins made from the low level masses are actually indirectly contributing to greater evildoers. When we lose our value system for a little selfish profit or simply to allow a little compromise; we are contributing to the bigger evil of the society that requires those from us. If we have a strong value system of ethics, we should hold ourselves accountable for our roles in socio-politics. I hope more such authentic work will follow that focuses on truth and relatability to the real audience, rather than pushing down our throat insane politics.
I must confess, I kept thinking Constance Wu looked like that woman in "Fresh off the Boat" I had watched years ago, or she gotta be her daughter or sister. But now after I watched the old videos, I confirm it's herself. She looked a lot younger and her acting was excellent.
