Indian Idol (2004)
Unnecessarily melodramatic
The title justifies itself. There's no doubt that because of this show we get to witness some great performances but it is also undeniable that this show is full of melodrama and unnecessary acting bits. So much so that they even become apparent. Don't get me wrong, other shows do it too but they don't overdo it like Indian Idol does.
In Season 14 I also noticed that if a contestant doesn't contribute to the overall glam of the show, then such a contestant gets eliminated, even if they sing well. Whereas certain contestants can apparent reach to someone like Shreya Ghoshal just by sending a voice memo before even appearing on the auditions. And needlessly to say that the contestant doesn't sing well, this contestant just has this texture of voice which certain people like, but that's about it.
Super Deluxe (2019)
The movie is really good but its philosophy lacks congruence
This movie was going really well untill suddenly during the climax it gets preachy. Criticizes the righteousness of humans only by adopting a self-righteous attitude.
I don't disagree with what it preaches but the manner in which it does so lacks congruence.
If the premise is that that humans are not really qualified to know what's truly right then it is contradictory to suggest that something is not wrong. Which strangely enough, the movie suggests at one point but apparently their own philosophy eludes them.
The movie criticizes how people create narrative to fit their own convenience but does that very same thing itself.
Nonetheless, if this preachiness of how this one particular worldview and its system of morality is absolutely correct and the rest is just a result of ignorance is overlooked it is a good movie and I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
InMates (2017)
Absolute Garbage!
I don't understand how is this even a show in the first place. What's the point of this show? I mean if you really want to impose your worldview to other people at least right a story to go with the credibility of what you are trying to impose. I liked other TVF shows like Girls Hostel, Engineering Girls and so on. But this show is absolute trash.
True Detective: The Western Book of the Dead (2015)
A great season premier to begin with.
I had already convinced myself that it is almost impossible to surpass what was done by Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson and Nic Pizzolatto in the first season of this series. While I don't need convince myself otherwise, but I have to say that the season premier was very promising, character buildings were extraordinary,not to mention that the acting by all the actors were brilliant and there are a lot of new things to look forward to in this new season. Let's see if this season could go on a parallel quality with the first season. As for this particular episode (The season premier), it not only met my expectations but went beyond it. Hands down. And the theme song is amazing.
