Kohrra (2023)
Shadows of Morality
Unraveling the murder mystery in this show proved to be a challenging task, far from the simplicity one might expect. Beyond the murder mystery, the show intricately explores a web of morally complex characters, delving into the authentic nature and genuine essence of humanity. It navigates the controversial realms of homophobia in Indian society, marital infidelity, decisions challenging deep-seated principles, jealousy, drug use, instances of domestic violence and suicide attempts. The lead actors, as well as the supporting cast, delivered a brilliant performance. Kudos to Barun for his exceptional portrayal - truly outstanding!
The Crowded Room: Family (2023)
This episode messed me up 💔
Mind-blowing episode which takes the audience on an intense journey through the minds of people facing various mental health challenges. Brilliant performance, acting, writing and directing! The production team definitely deserves praise for how well this episode emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness and support in our society. Thought provoking and engaging throughout. Candy's portrayal effectively reflects the reality of being a victim and Rya sheds light on the fine line between victimization and perpetration. Heart-wrenching ending...as a whole, this episode is a remarkable achievement in acting, storytelling and mental health representation. Eagerly awaiting the finale of this show next week!
The Mandalorian: Chapter 23: The Spies (2023)
Noteworthy and outstanding!
A good rule of storytelling is:
the larger the build-up, the greater the pay-off must be. This episode was the best and most noteworthy one of this season so far, and it brought back the initial thrust of the first two seasons. All the subplots from the beginning of this season (which seemed pointless at first glance) are finally making sense! The writers were able to fill the gaps in the plot. Episode 8 didn't fall short of the long-awaited expectations - mind-blowing twist with new character reveals, intense fight sequences. Main antagonist finally makes a comeback - better, stronger, more powerful and more determined. The foundations for next season's plot have possibly been laid. Here's to hoping that season finale next week will be as rewarding as this episode.
