Review Of Succession: Is Just The Patriarchal Protest That The Web Needed
Succession Season 3(HBO, 9 Episodes ) Starring Jeremy Strong as Kendall, Kieran Culkin as Roman, and Sarah Snook as Shiv, Matthew Macfadyen s as Tom Wambsgans Rating: *** Underwhelming, but nonetheless engaging…that was my impression of Succession. I may be wrong. The response to the feudal stimuli is strong. And millions can’t be wrong. Ever since Succession began beaming on HBO in 2018 it has taken the world by storm. The murderous antics of the Roy family is unmistakably galvanic. The Roys mean business.Their brusque brutality in their se | Click Here...

Review Of Scenes From A Marriage: A Remake That Ingmar Bergman Would Have Liked
Scenes From A Marriage(HBO Series, 5 Episodes) Starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain Written & Directed by Hagai Levi Rating: ** First things first. Is Jessica Chastain as good in the remake as Liv Ullman in the original? Hard to do. But Chastain has done it. She smashes the screen and jumps at you with a feral ferocity that we witness on screen only once in a while. Of course Oscar Isaac(one of contemporary American cinema’s rising phenomenon) is also a revelation. But somehow this version of Scenes From A Marriage is owned b | Click Here...
Review Of Catch & Kill The Podcast Tapes: Is A Must-Watch
Catch & Kill : The Podcast Tapes(HBO); Directed and produced by Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey Rating: **** I am not a fan of documentaries. But I am a fan of American investigative journalist Ronan Farrow.Just 33,and sinfully camera-friendly ,Ronan, son of the iconic actress Mia Farrow, is the poster boy of fearless journalism. Not long ago, he accused his own father the legendary Woody Allen of sexual abuse in their own family. Then it was Harvey Weinstein, the posterboy of sexual predatoriness in the global entertainment business. When a pro | Click Here...

Mare Of Easttown(HBO, 7 Episodes) Starring Kate Winslet, Jean Smart, Guy Pearce, Julianne Nicholson, Angourie Rice, David Denman, Evan Peters, Sosie Bacon, and John Douglas Thompson Directed by Craig Zobel Rating: **** At around mid-point, or maybe less,a very important character of this gloriously articulate murder-mystery series was suddenly shot dead. My WTF anger and dismay at this turn of events was so palpable I could have broken my television screen and walked off with a scream. Mare Of Easttown is that rare series which sucks you so d | Click Here...

Zack Snyder’s Justice League(HBO) Starring Batman (Ben Affleck), Superman (Henry Cavill), Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), and the Flash (Ezra Miller) Directed by Zack Snyder Rating: *** ½ If you are not a fan of the super-hero series(I am not, in how many ways can the world be saved?) then the 4-hour length of this unusual homage to super-heroism may seem like a slog. However director Zack Snyder’s mastery over the magnificent manoeuvres of these masters of the universe is so incredible, and the storytelling so unclutter | Click Here...
Review Of Locked Down: A Tragic Covid Casualty
Locked Down(HBO) Starring Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor Directed by Doug Liman Rating: * ½ Pandering to the pandemic has started big-time.A film written and made entirely during and revolving around the Lockdown is like making a baby just because there is a cradle in the guest room. Lockdown is born out of a place of anxiety,not love. It shows. Two of the most charismatic actors the American Anne Hathaway and British Chiwetel Ejiofor get together for what looks like a pretext to promote the London departmental store Harrods.

Review of Welcome To Chechnya: Will Haunt You Forever
Welcome to Chechnya(HBO) Directed by David France Rating: ****(4 stars) For a two-hour documentary as stark brutal and uncompromising as Welcome to Chechnya the inherent deception in the presentation is jarring. But here’s the thing: what you see in this harrowing harangue on homophobia is not the reality. The characters have all been given new faces digitally, a kind of nod to Face/Off that would probably make the stricken hounded gay characters roll their eyes in rare amusement. Rare, because they have little to smile about. Being gay is definitely being happ | Click Here...

I Know This Much Is True (HBO, miniseries) Starring Mark Ruffalo,Melissa Leo,John Procaccino,Rob Huebel,Juliette Lewis,Kathryn Hahn, Rosie O'Donnell, Archie Punjabi Directed by Derek Cianfrance Rating: ** ½ Frankly I got into this 8-hour 8-episode treatise on twinned trauma for Mark Ruffalo who not plays the real-life twins, one of whom happens to be a paranoid schizophrenic but also co-produces this commendable but dark and depressing real-life drama. Ruffalo’s commitment to playing the real-life twins Dominick and Thomas Birdsey is so supremely comple | Click Here...

This very popular HBO show just concluded its season 7 which was first aired in India on the above popular OTT platform. The ‘GOT’ move opened new ‘audience reach’ corridors for Hotstar, a master stroke to zoom past competition.
