The Suicide Squad (2021).

Just watched another great edition to DCEU. Far better from the original this dark-comedy is a true emotional rollercoaster. Amazing performance by Margot Robbie, Idris Alba, John Cena etc. As expected another brilliant film by James Gunn. However the story telling was rather insignificant and morose. Still entertaining and engaging from top to bottom.

Downton Abbey (2010-15).

Just watched one of the sweetest show I've ever seen. An amazing story about the chronicles of the lives of British aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in Downton Abbey of Grantham, Yorkshire, England, UK, in 1920s. A beautiful show with many tragadies and a sweet and wholesome ending.

The Good Doctor [Season1-4] (2017-21).

Just watched one of the best medical drama in recent time. A story about a young surgeon with ASD and Savant Syndrome and his life while studying in St  Bonaventure hospital where he faces many problems for his lack of communication skills but he counters them with his genius level intellect, knowledge and pure innocence. Outstanding performance by Freddy Highmore in the role of Dr Shaun Murphy. Also great performance by other actors. A truly engaging and educational realistic medical drama.

Dexter (2006-2013).

Just watched one of the best psychological thriller shows of all time. A story about a blood spatter analyst in Miami Metro Police Department who also kills criminals and murderers at night. Outstanding performance by Michael C. Hall, Jennifer Carpenter, John Lithgo, Julie Benz, David Zayas, etc. A n amazing show with a terrible ending. Hopefully the upcoming spinoff will fix the ending to a point.

Gotham (2014-19).

Just watched one of the most entertaining tv-series I've seen in a long time. A different, non-canon, but amazing adaption of comic world of Gotham before Batman ever came. A even darker, gore, psychological approach in the dark worlds of Gotham. Many character arks even after being far different from their comic origins felt surreal, and maybe even more interesting, some got changed a bit too much. Story of most of the pre- Batman supervillains and the saviors of Gotham James Gordon and his partner Harvey Bullock was breathtaking. One of the better series I've seen in recent time.
